    New arrival, leap of faith on Ebay

    This arrived yesterday evening, it's a 16710, 2006 (no case-holes, solid bracelet ends) with all box and papers (and protective case stickers). I've been looking for a while and ultimately took a leap of faith; not because there was any specific risk with the deal but the photos weren't the best and no references were available. Anyway, the seller was helpful and prompt with his responses and provided assurances regarding some of my concerns. I'm delighted, condition is excellent and i think the price was fair.

    I think the time has come to maybe do a 'state-of-the-collection' photo; i really need to thin the collection down now so i may as well get a pic whilst it's as big as it's gonna get, so to speak :D

    here's the new addition:

    Nice watch and good score. I have one of the first GMT-II's Still NIB with all the stickers on it, they are a good investment!

    Nice watch. Doesn't look to be much wrong with it.
