Rolex GMT Master ref. 16700 circa 1991
The “Pepsi” refers to the iconic blue and red insert noting dual time for pilots— perhaps “diet Pepsi” for the lack of red. This one in particular shows lots of aging, often due to environmental factors varying from moisture and light to wear. So why the 16700? It is considered the “last gmt” and the end of an era born in 1988 and only lasting 5 years. It also houses the 3175 caliber automatic movement which enables seconds hacking and independent date change.
What we dig:
- 1990s Neo-vintage classic
- Only 11.6mm thick with sapphire crystal
- Thick lugs and sharp case with minimal signs of polish
- Classic 40mm case with 20mm lug width
- Inserts can be swapped for a different look like pink or “Blueberry”
What you should know:
- The movement is clean and recently serviced, timegrapher data is always available
- Inconsistent coloring on hands and markers, but all tritium and no glow
It is on a Submariner bracelet from 1996
Additional pics and videos always available upon request
