GMT Master 16700 or 16710

[counterofbeans]

Choice of 16700 or 16710 - any real difference(s)?

Is either one any more or less desirable than the other?

Thanks for any pointers

Worth a read.

I'd go 16710 personally. Updated movement with the independent hour hand, allowing 3 time zones to be tracked. 16710 has the 3185 caliber. The later M serials have the 3186 caliber.

Is the 3185 any better than the 3175? Can't say I'm too worried about the independent hour hand etc.

But thanks for the advice

Better? No. More convenient (on the rare occasions you need to adjust GMT)? Yes.
Both are great watches.

Possibly the most useful feature of the watch if you travel. The watch can be adjusted in 1 hour increments without stopping it. So the minutes and seconds are unaffected whilst you're adjusting the hours.

I was told the 16710 was the best buy, but I got a good deal on a 16700. Not worried one bit. Buy what suits you as said both great watches.

As it turned out I didn't have the choice I thought I had so I just bought the 16700

Should get it next week. Always wanted a GMT pepsi!

Thanks for all the replies

Good choice, my 16710

Quick shot of my 16700 on the desk this morning - I love this watch

Whichever, I'd go for an older one with the open 6 and 9. The font is lovely and gives more enjoyment than an independently adjustable GMT hand.
