hi any GMT 2 experts or collector here? haha

my friend got a gmt 2 handed down by his dad but he did not know what series it is? the pro is i only know 16710 haha that all. he also cant find the papers to confirm. i saw the watch it said gmt 2 in roman letters with pin hole and colour of bezel is coke. it also comes with pin hole and the t 25 swiss on the 6 pm. the bracelet is single crasp not double lock and according to him is original when his dad bought it about 8 to 10 yrs back. there is no more lumi liao and it already all turn yellow and cream. what series is that and what model is that? can any1 pls advise? thanks alot.

how much is it worth pre-owned?

[seiko.citizen]

give about 4-6k and anywhere inbetween would be my guesstimate

[116520]

yes yes... depending on condition

give about 4-6k and anywhere inbetween would be my guesstimate

Not a GMT 2 expert but i'll take a guess here...

Word has it that tritium was banned in 1998 and replaced by luminova in 1999, so this watch has got to be pre-1999.
The 16710 was introduced after 1988, that makes the watch in Qs produced between 1989 to 1998. Now, he says his dad bought it 8 to 10 years ago, making this watch falling between 1998 to 2000. Now, as i've said, no tritium dials after 1998, so that makes this possibly either an early A, U, late T or even a late W series 16710 watch. Darn Rollie serials, only they can find logic in the sequence used.

tritium was banned for its radioactive properties am i not correct?

S$4k pre-owned 16710s is history liao... over...gone...

I've been shopping around for 16710s for a while. I've been quoted 7-8 year old pieces for S$6.5K. An over 4 years piece (in very good condition though) is listed for S$7.5K b4 discount (not much anyhow!).

If u are interested in the 16710, i believe there's a forummer here selling a 2+ years D series for S$7K. if u really like the 16710, i think that is one u can go for. I almost went for it but i've found my holy grail.

[sys12345]

Yes, i believe so.

ok, thanks but according to him, his dad bought it about 8 yrs ago but never tell him is new or pre-owned, it might be even older haha. also gmt 2 got comes with tritium? and single crasp bracelet? and with pin hole? all these found in watch with coke bezel with gmt 2 with roman letters, womder if it is really older model 16710? haha

[Darkangel]

if i can find 4k i buy myself

Like that la...dun share lobang 1

[seiko.citizen]

if one piece i give you buy, i eat what? grass ah?

[sys12345]

Yes, i believe the earlier 16710s had such properties like tritium dial, pin hole lugs, etc. Of course, it could be an even earlier fat lady with a thicker case and fat crown guard. That'll be a collector's item!
