The reference 16700 carries that original spirit forward. It combines the utility of a second time zone with a design that has become one of the most recognizable in the world. The red and blue \"Pepsi\" bezel is not just a style choice, it is a functional element that defined the reference from its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Faded Bezel And Honest Patina\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1996 example showcases what makes vintage Rolex so compelling. The aluminum \"Pepsi\" bezel insert has faded beautifully over time, shifting to a lighter, almost pastel tone that is impossible to replicate. The black dial has developed a nice, even patina, adding a layer of warmth and history to the watch. It is a piece that shows its age honestly, giving it a character that a brand new watch simply cannot possess. This example is accompanied by its original papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Well-Kept Example\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is in very good condition. The case has been polished in the past but remains in great overall shape. The dial is excellent, with its patina being the main highlight. The matching Oyster bracelet is also in nice condition. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Perfect Balance Of Vintage And Modern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the right GMT for someone who wants the classic look without the fragility of a much older acrylic model. The 16700 offers a sapphire crystal and a robust movement, making it a reliable choice for daily wear. The faded bezel and dial patina provide the vintage aesthetic that so many collectors are after. It is a watch that works equally well as a primary piece or as a standout in a growing collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16700\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e GMT-Master\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1996\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Pepsi\" Red \u0026amp; Blue Aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oyster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inquire for size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with Patina\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Rolex Warranty Papers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1309\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Danny's Vintage Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55334657982755,"sku":null,"price":15500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF8994.jpg?v=1783976412","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/1996-rolex-gmt-master-16700-stainless-steel-pepsi-bezel","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
