Rolex

Well this is it. The GMT II 16710. By many measures, it is nothing spectacular. Yet to me, it is a hugely important watch. It is my first Rolex. About 8 or 9 years ago, I bought this watch. It was the first Rolex I have ever owned. Foolishly, i sold it ab...  

We should create a podt on our first Rolex. Something tells me that the GMT Master could be a winner. Thanks for such a lovely post. Best, Nicolas.

and I am really glad that you were able to get your first Rolex back. Best regards, George

It's my not so new Rolex (but not vintage) ;even this has a certain charm that the new pieces cannot replicate IMO. best fernando

I think quite often new collectors come to these forums and ask for advice etc. I think there should almost be a golden rule that is always passed on. "Never sell your first watch". Nicolas....great idea for a thread. "My first watch".

I traded it eventually, but I always thought it was such a Rolex-Rolex. In a good way. Congrats.

...thanks for sharing, keep it safe and wear it with good health, Baron. stefan

The 16710 is one of the most versatile Rolex sports watches out there. It's got the ability to change the bezel insert (black/pepsi/coke) and wear either the oyster or jubilee bracelet. Wear it in good health!
