Back on the Rolex Train
I’ve drifted in and out of owning a rolex for many years now. But last year, I came to the conclusion that it’s hard to beat rolex for the perfect combination of design, comfort, engineering, toughness and overall quality of execution the price point.
With that, I decided to get back into a sport model but couldn’t decide on what I wanted…
Eventually I settled on the GMT Coke on jubilee even though I was kind of set on going with a modern piece.
I realized I don’t care much about micro adjust on the newer bracelets. Yes. It’s nice, but my wrist doesn’t change much in size throughout the day so…who cares.
I’m a sucker for the older font used on the bezels vs the modern one. And red/black is one of my favorite color combinations.
After some searching, I found this one from Jacek at Tropical Watch. He was also able to throw it on a jubilee for me, which I greatly prefer to the oyster.
Very happy with it, and don’t see myself making the same mistake I have before with Rolex

All roads lead back to the crown, don't they?
Congrats! Your watch looks great.
I find the micro-adjustments to be more helpful on heavier watches. Not really necessary on these.
We have similar tastes re the Jubilee on a watch like this, too. Sibling on a Super Jubilee says hi.
GMT MASTER 16700/16710 are excellent references, from a bygone era. Great seller, too. Huge congrats!
Big congrats 🎉
You wear it well and it suits you perfectly.
I jumped on the 16710 train too some months ago. Enjoy!

After wearing my CS for a week, needed something more chunky and solid (back to Rolex).
Went true the same cycle five years ago and never looked back
Vintage or modern, the crown is the crown.
Congratulations, wear it in great health for the years to come!

In my opinion, one of the best every day time pieces available. Congratulations wonderful choice.
As much as I love other watch brands, Rolex is the perfect blend of form and function. And your GMT is a beauty. Mine says hello.
