The reference 16710, produced from 1989 to 2007, offers all the strengths of “modern” Rolex models: a 40 mm Oyster case with satin-finished lugs, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, durable steel, high water resistance, a particularly reliable chronometer-certified caliber 3185, a quickset date and a robust bracelet. With it, the era of the aluminium bezel came to an end: ceramic arrived in 2005 (in 2007 on steel models), and the Pepsi would not return in steel until 2018.\nOur example features an original “SWISS MADE” dial, solid end links, lugs that are still drilled – a feature dropped in 2003 – and above all an original “Pepsi” insert whose red has evenly faded to a remarkably attractive orange-pink: this is the so-called “Faded” patina sought after by many collectors, which gives this watch an unmistakable vintage charm. The caliber 3185 has been fully serviced by one of our experienced watchmakers and runs perfectly; its water resistance has also been checked.\nWe present this watch on its original Oyster bracelet ref. 78790A; it is delivered in a green Rolex suedette pouch and accompanied by our Steel Warranty Card.\nThe last GMT-Master II “Pepsi” with an aluminium insert, graced with a “Faded” insert of the kind we love. A “neo-vintage” GMT-Master, ideal for everyday wear as well as for crossing time zones.","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54979447488835,"sku":"DRL7","price":11900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1378\/9763\/files\/DRL7-Rolex-GMT-Master-II-ref-16710-Pepsi-de-2000-2001-Insert-Faded-Front-1.jpg?v=1793225445","url":"https:\/\/amplitudewatches.co\/en\/products\/2000-2001-rolex-gmt-master-ii-ref-16710-pepsi-faded-insert-drl7","provider":"Amplitude","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
