Sweating a Rolex GMT Master 16700 

Yes, it’s a lovely watch.

The lugs and crown protectors seems more rounded to me which could only means they well polished. For a collector’s piece, I would prefer a full set or at least with the original cert. I agree there are still good pieces to be found out there.

I wouldnt buy it. This video made me grab my own 16710 t serial out to see what dial and insert it has. You got me excited as it does have the serif fonts on the dial and the 5 minute markers and it has a fat font serif insert. Case back stickers is also very good condition. Seller original owner said it was unpolished. I believe him it has plenty of wear

Bro 😂😂😂😂

Shady’s back, yes he’s back, yes he’s back, yes he’s back… nah, nah, nah na, na, na… na, na, na….

I think we're all saying the same thing.

yeah, for today. then he'll disappear for another 5-6 months lol

@@the_shadow_realm5110 uh, okay?

I appreciate that!

@@watchsymposium I decided not to go into detail regarding my 1990 16700 GMT. Had deeply patina'd dial with snow white hands (all orginal), crystal was worn, it was all original. Given that it isn't a highly collectible watch (like 5513 for instance), I took it into RSC for service and had the dial, hands, crystal, crown all replaced, I want a functional watch, and it's like brand new again. Even sent the original Jubilee to Rolliworks for a spa day. The 16700 has such a slim profile, is so comfortable to wear. Now it's good for another 25 years. Fantastic watch and one of my favourites. But I do miss that t

Thank you, and I hope it comes through for you. I'd love to see you review it on your channel. Now, I've watched enough of your videos to know you like watches with a date, so I'm surprised you're going no-date. But the clean aesthetic of the dial and lack of the cyclops magnifier is worth the sacrifice, in my opinion.

Modern Rolex have specs of +/- 2 seconds a day, so it should be somewhere in there.

You got very lucky - you really can't count on new old stock tritium parts being available. Here in Japan, they simply don't have tritium parts in stock (and Rolex doesn't make them anymore), so you'll be getting luminova parts.

@@watchsymposium we had to search. It was just me being tenacious that ultimately got the part. Of course you are correct.

Well played on your part - that tenacity paid off!

@@watchsymposiumI love the videos. Please don’t retire! You are the only sane reliable RU-vidr 😂😂
