1990 Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 - Stainless Steel Coke Bezel

Trade In
Details
The Last Of The Classic GMTs
The reference 16710 is a cornerstone of Rolex collecting. It represents the final generation of the classic GMT-Master II, retaining the traditional case proportions and aluminum bezel insert that defined the model for decades. This 1990 example, with its iconic red and black 'Coke' bezel, sits right in the sweet spot of the reference's long production run. The tritium dial marks it as a product of its era, offering a warmth that modern luminous material cannot replicate.
A Strong Dial On A Robust Bracelet
This watch pairs the best of two periods. The original tritium dial is in great shape, showing the characteristic "SWISS-T<25" signature that collectors seek out from this era. The watch is fitted to a later 1999 'X'-stamp Oyster bracelet, which offers a more solid and substantial feel on the wrist than the bracelet it would have originally been sold on. This combination delivers vintage character with a touch more modern security and presence.
A Well Kept Neo-Vintage Example
The watch presents in good overall condition. The dial is great, and the crystal is clean. The case has been lightly touched up in the past but retains a strong profile. Its 'Coke' bezel insert is clean, and the later-period steel Oyster bracelet is in very good shape. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Perfect Daily Driver
This GMT-Master II is for the person who wants a robust, reliable travel watch with genuine vintage soul. The Coke bezel is versatile, pairing as easily with a suit as it does with a t-shirt. It has the visual appeal of a classic Rolex tool watch without the fragility or premium of much older examples. It is a watch that has earned its place as one of the most functional and recognizable designs ever created.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
