Building a near-gen 16710

[WatchSmith.US]

I built two 16710s with VN cases. This one I shaped myself and the other was shaped by master @tripdog.
The movement was a genuine 3135 from an old Datejust. I sourced gen parts and converted it to a genuine 3185 GMT.
All parts are genuine except the midcase. It took a few months to acquire everything and then the build began.

Thanks for looking!

maybe i am wrong but 16710 should be a GMT II ?

It should be a 16700 I believe.

Probably. I don't keep up with all the details. I wasn't so concerned with it being absolutely period correct as far as I was a good look and solid movement.
