We've all done it. Parted with my GMT II a few months back. Needed to buy another of the EXACT. SAME. THING. I finally feel whole again.

Love my 16710. Congrats on coming back to your senses!

iAmVice · 30 April 2016, 08:51 AM

Nice, congratz !

captain_NEMO · 30 April 2016, 09:03 AM

If you love something, set them free. If they come back, it's yours forever (or at least until the next opportunity to flip comes along).

TheRolexKingofLV · 30 April 2016, 09:17 AM

Glad you are re-united with your loved one.

Very nice. How could you resist?
I just got my 1st GMT 16710 "Z" a few weeks ago. For maybe the 1st time in my life I will try to learn from someone else's mistake. Well.........it's a thought anyway.

sensui · 30 April 2016, 09:37 AM

I'm wearing the watch on my wrist right now.....don't know how you let it go in the first place:

Don't let this one go down the line! Congrats on the reunion.

Racerdj · 30 April 2016, 09:50 AM

Been there and done that.

VinnieVegas · 30 April 2016, 09:51 AM

I have a coke GMT Master II 16710 also. It's my go-to watch, no question. If I ever had to reduce my collection to one watch, it would be the 16710 and my inserts, of course. :-)

Congrats and enjoy!

so true...I am guessing that I will purchase my third Polar ex II at some point

Muzz · 30 April 2016, 10:07 AM

Very nice feeling to be reacquainted with a loved one!!!! Congradulations on the reconciliation!!!

Cimballi · 30 April 2016, 10:11 AM

Gorgeous watch!
I fully understand the feeling of withdrawal and the urge to re-purchase.

Part of my love for my watch is the experiences I have with it. Do you feel like you lost that when buying a new version of the same watch you owned? Or am I crazy?

Speed · 30 April 2016, 10:23 AM

I've never done that with Rolex. Only with the Speedy Pro - on my wrist as I type this!

I have done it many times over. You never know what you have until it's gone. Great re-pick up!

ive done it. and with a GMT no less. took me 2 years to find. will never sell this. i could wear thiis watch and only this watch for the rest of life (before I installed an NOS crystal and mint 78360 with a date stamp that matches the year of my watch, courtesy of Springer). that being said, i am toying with the idea of getting a Z 16710 to enjoy the benefits of a modern GMT. the pepsi GMT has always sung to me. strangely drawn to a Z/M 16710 but only the Z/M serials. love the coronet on the end of run dials.

MCO1 · 30 April 2016, 01:31 PM

I get it! All but one of the watches in my collection are ones I have owned for the second time.

Investr · 30 April 2016, 01:41 PM

Yes sir! Sold my BLNR a few months ago, bought another one 8 days later.... REUNITED

PNBLWZD · 30 April 2016, 03:15 PM

I've done that with a sub bluesy twice! This time it's staying, third times a charm.

1William · 30 April 2016, 10:02 PM

Looks great. Now you know. Enjoy.
