Collector's set – a highly desirable model and look what comes with it! Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II “Coke” model 16710 with black “SWISS MADE” / luminova dial on a NEW Jubilee 62510 bracelet. The 16710 was available with different bezel options but this one has just been fitted with a “new old stock” version of its signature red / black insert, known as the “Coke” bezel by collectors. The original Jubilee bracelet was a little tired and so we have purchased and fitted a brand new, £950 GMT-specific 62510 through a Rolex main agent; this version (still in factory stickers) has correct “502 T” end links and “50” on the penultimate links. The watch is in truly fine condition and comes with its original 16710 boxes, GMT-Master booklet, UK papers from Bracher & Sydenham in Reading dated April 1992 and the numbered green swing-tag. It also has Rolex UK service slips dated August 2002, November 2008 and November 2013, reflecting the single owner's fastidious care in servicing and replacing parts as needed. The NEW equivalent is now £7,750 but these earlier models have increasingly attracted a following of their own. It is interesting that the current model GMT-Masters have moved to Jubilee bracelets, where traditionally these were an added-cost option — rarely chosen, as considered by many to be rather more “dressy” than the classically sporty Oyster variants. Available NOW from Miltons of Chester, under the famous clock.
