I personally still prefer the older bracelet and clasp for comfort and feel on the wrist as compared to the new solid and chunky bracelet. You have to personally try both out in practical times to form an opinion on this as I do. The 16710 is the most comfortable Rolex sport model you will ever have on the wrist. Even so when you change it to the genuine silky smooth jubilee bracelet.
This is one if not the only perfect wearable Rolex sport model you will ever experience in term of comfort and fit especially for smaller wrist size. Don’t let the thin clasps and jangly bracelet fools you as they are the most comfortable bracelet by far as compared to the new solid and chunky clasp of the modern Rolex.
@@Saints-Forever Thank you. I've heard that you cannot remove enough links at the 6 o'clock position on the 5-digit GMTs to ensure the clasp sits centered on your wrist. Some reverse the bracelet to fix this. I'm familiar with the current Oyster bracelets and often use the EZ link extension on my Air-King (126900).
@@jobervelasco8614 not sure your wrist size but on my 6.5 inch wrist, I have no issue with getting the right and perfect fit with either the oyster or the jubilee bracelet. There are still plenty of micro pin holes on the clasp for more 5mm bracelet adjustment so I am really surprise people still got issue in finding the right fit on this watch unless you have a wrist below 4 inch
My wrist is just a tad over 6 inches and this piece wears great! My wrists are small and even a lot of 40mm watches don’t wear well. This one is perfect though! Cheers

Spent time with both and totally agree with you.
To each their own though! Pros to both the old and new.
Cheers.
I have exactly the same watch. One of the best pieces of my large collection.
Very cool. You have great taste!
Cheers, my friend.
Beautiful watch. How big is your wrist? I've been thinking about getting a 16710 for myself, but worry about sizing it down to a small wrist.
