Vintage of the Week: GMT Master 16700 - Bob's Watches

After the release of the Rolex GMT Master II, Rolex made a surprising move; they continued to produce and improve upon the original GMT Master with its own continued line. One of these variations is the GMT Master ref. 16700. Produced for a surprisingly long run from 1988 to 1999, the Rolex GMT Master ref. 16700 replaced ref. 16750, introduced about the same time as the new and innovative GMT Master II ref. 16710. The new GMT Master model was actually less expensive than its counterpart, the GMT Master II, but maintained some of its features.
