The 16700 was the last GMT-Master (without the “II”). Its hour hand isn’t independently set, but it’s often cheaper than a comparable 16710 and is a strong value.
Who it’s for
Travelers and vintage fans who want a classic Rolex with a second time zone.
Buying tips
- Faded or replaced bezel inserts change the value a lot. Ask whether the insert is original.
- Check the lume on the dial and hands matches, which suggests nothing was swapped.
- Service papers and box-and-papers sets sell for more, so price accordingly.
