Need advice - GMT Master 2 16710 K series

Would like to get some opinion from members here on what to watch out as I'm having an opportunity to get hold a Gmt master 2 16710 K series . Complete expect the warranty pouch .


I'm planning to meet at Rolex service center as to get some basic verification , will the RSC will inform about the aftermarket inserts or anything else ?


I'm guessing that the watch has went to light polish as the condition describe is good.

Here's some pictures (I know it's badly taken) sent to me by the owner. Will meet up in the next 24 hours to view the watch.


Please advice what's to look for in this deal, appreciate any inputs .

Thank you

I've been looking for a similar one and all looks good to me, but there are others with more discerning eyes than me that will come along.

FYI, the full serial number is visible on your photo of the back of the warranty certificate. You might want to do something about that......

Lovely watch, looks like a great find!
Congrats.
