Has a nice patina going on. This was my daily watch for a while, but rarely gets any wrist time now. Note the gmt hand has no lume fill, bezel does not click (missing click spring).

From Ai: The **Rolex GMT-Master Reference 16700** is a landmark model in the history of the GMT-Master line. Produced from approximately **1988 to 1999**, it is famously known as the **"Last of the GMT-Masters"** because it was the final reference of the original GMT-Master series (GMT-Master I) before the model was completely replaced by the GMT-Master II. # Key Features & Specifications * **Case Size:** 40mm diameter, crafted exclusively in **904L stainless steel**. * **Movement:** **Caliber 3175**, which introduced a **Quickset date** feature and hacking seconds. * **Timekeeping:** Unlike the GMT-Master II, the 16700 has a **coupled hour hand**, meaning the GMT hand and local hour hand move together. You track a second time zone by rotating the external bezel. * **Crystal:** This was the **first GMT-Master I** to feature a scratch-resistant **sapphire crystal**. * **Water Resistance:** Rated for **100 meters** (330 feet). # Bezel and Dial Variations The 16700 was officially offered with two aluminum bezel insert options: the classic **"Pepsi" (Red/Blue)** and an **All-Black** version. Because the 16700 crossed the late 90s, the luminescence on the dial transitioned during its production: * **1988 – 1997:** Features **Tritium** lume (marked "SWISS T < 25" at the bottom of the dial), which develops a creamy patina over time. * **1998 – 1999:** Features **Luminova** (marked "SWISS"), which does not patina but glows more reliably.
