Hi Guys
Well my 16700 GMT came last evening i am over the moon with it. Its been refinshed to a very good standard with nice fat luggs etc the only thing replaced when serviced was the bezel insert and crystal. Did not pay top dollar so not arsed about the service changing the bits. So comfortable to wear and I am sure the GMT function will be a handy tool when next on a distance trip. Anyway here are some photos

The bezel is lined up so as I know what time it is in Perth Australia if you look at it the GMT hand it is reading WA time. I had a few Face Time calls to Aus this morning. I have just got back from down under after a three week trip so have a lot of catching up to do with me cousins

Excellent. Great watch. Keep the OCD fanatics on-edge with that bezel!

It really bugs people on the watch forums if the bezel is not just so bang on the 12. It's just nice to use it for its proper use.

...and when added to a non-centred steering wheel shot; that's just cruel!

Great looking watch; nice bit of colour to brighten up these late Autumn days. Now; Dear Santa...

and i was going to be a smart arse and say "unless you are abroad", you were the next best thing; actually using the GMT properly within 24 hours of receipt. tool watch being used properly.....

possibly a first!

I think the GMT is the new Sub, seeing threads about them all the time here and on tz. Almost like a subliminal advertising thing, it's making me want one scratchchin

Love the ability to swap from Coke to Pepsi to all-black bezels, few watches give those kinds of options!

Thumbs up from me, rather like the Exp II - tough, reliable, without any outward 'baggage', subtle, useful and well screwed together.

Out of interest, why did you go out to the car to photograph your watch?

I was sitting waiting for the wife in a car park. Just seemed like a good idea at the time.

I love your "I have a Range Rover and a Rolex post"!

But seriously, that's a great looking watch. I was never interested in them and I went for a Submariner, but I'm starting to regret that now....
