Never thought I'd get a Rolex, but after admiring the Coke GMT II's for a while, when a Coke 16710 from 1994 with B&P popped up locally, I couldn't resist meeting the seller. He was selling it to fund a Patek Nautilus (oooh!), so after a good chat with a fellow WIS, I bought it.
Yes, the bracelet rattles a little as many detractors have mentioned, but it's pretty comfortable. And for the first time, my wife
actually asked to try it on when I got home with it. Fortunately for me, she found it too big
And perhaps I'm being optimistic, but there's the early beginnings of a patina forming on the hour markers (
grade 1 perhaps?).
In any case, I plan to hold on to it for the next decade to see if it progresses to grade 2
