GMT-Master 16700 and GMT-Master II 16710

[seiko.citizen]

what is the current status of the 16710? is it easy to resell? I still abit blur when it come to gmt

its a discontinued model. The newer GMT is so more pricier..so quite heng i got it before the GST hike last year July. the only regret is that i didnt manage to get it in black and red bezel. The pepsi combo is just as classic.

BTw, the 16700 and 16710 have very different movements. The 16700 is a quick-set date without decoupled hour-hand for changing timezone. The 16710 can decouple the hour hand to change timezone and uses two cycles to change date (a bit leh-cheh). I believe the 16710 was the first GMT watch in the world to be able to do so...
and in so doing, became the first GMT watch to be able to track 4 timezones (or was it 3?).

so does that mean that 16710 is an improved version??

"improved" is a subjective argument.

If you want the extra timezone sync, yes... it is.

If you just want an easy to adjust watch I think the older GMT-I with quickset date is less fussy.
