Introduced during the late 1980s and produced until the ceramic generation arrived, it represents the final evolution of the classic aluminum bezel GMT that traces its lineage back to the original Pan Am pilots of the 1950s.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"404\" data-end=\"839\"\u003eUnlike today's ceramic bezel models, the 16710 retained the charm that made vintage Rolex sports watches so beloved. Its slimmer case profile, drilled-free lugs, aluminum bezel insert, and ability to swap between Pepsi, Coke, or all-black inserts gave owners a level of versatility that modern references simply cannot replicate. It is one of those watches that feels equally appropriate on an airplane, in the office, or on the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"841\" data-end=\"1241\"\u003eThe Pepsi bezel has always been the defining look of the GMT-Master. The vivid contrast between blue and red remains instantly recognizable from across a room and has become one of the most iconic color combinations ever fitted to a wristwatch. As collectors continue to gravitate toward five-digit Rolex sports models, the 16710 has steadily become one of the strongest values in the vintage market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1792\" data-end=\"1815\"\u003eWriter’s Thoughts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1529\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eWhen evaluating a Rolex GMT-Master II, originality is everything. The bezel insert, dial, hands, and case all contribute to the personality of the watch, and it's becoming increasingly uncommon to find examples that haven't been polished or altered over the years.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"2077\"\u003eThis 2006 reference 16710 checks all the right boxes. The case remains unpolished with crisp factory proportions, the Pepsi bezel retains vibrant color throughout, and the original dial and hands are exactly what you'd hope to see on a well-preserved example. Having the original papers and Rolex bezel protector only adds to its appeal, while an original Rolex box can easily be added for anyone looking to complete the set. It's an honest GMT-Master II that represents everything collectors appreciate about the final aluminum bezel generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2184\"\u003eOur Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2462\"\u003eEvery watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic.
