Icon5 Model numbers of a Stainless Steel GMT II

Hey Guys,

Reference 16710

Do all GMT IIs have the same reference number or are they simply known as a 16710 with a Pepsi bezel etc.

You are correct. All current S/S GMTII use the same reference number that you mention, i.e., 16710 regardless of bezel

Correct. But of course the case numbers can change. Mine is a 16710 T indicating it has no exterior holes in the lugs. It is analogous to the dials, which do not change the model number either. As you know the 16613 is the same with a blue dial, MOP dial, Serti dial, etc. =) maverick
However, the paperwork will indicate which color bezel is original.

Icon4 clarification on T

Maverick: If I'm not mistaken, the T denotes the Y-series AFTER the change to the no-holes case was made. Early (lug holes) Y-series are simply 16710, and the later ones are 16710T. The F and D series models are simply 16710 again. Tim
