Check: How much will you pay for GMTII with 3186??

[psee]

Agree on the questions asked by Feudal, whether its better, I need the real experts to advise. I guess its just the rarity and novelty of having the last batch of GMTII that adds to the attractiveness...

Fully agree with all about the 13K tag.. that's y i've successfully located my 3186 for a more reasonable price..

Mind sharing with us how much you paid for the watch? A friend in London and another in HK paid retail for theirs ...

The retail now for GMT II is 9+K if you can get a fresh set from AD. The era of 5-6K is no more, I myself missed it too. I didn't even want to think about a GMTII when people selling for 4K. Now, after 3 years... its history.... Have to move with times...

Yeah lor no choice LL la...just live with it. But personally GMT II coke/pepsi...it's out of my list already.

GMTII priced out of reach ........ I had chance to buy one (pepsi) many years ago. Customer walked in and asked for valuation, I offered him A$1.5K (no b&p) he wanted A$2.2k.

I paid below 10K ... he only gave me 10 minutes to consider... last piece.. today, the price is now more than 10K...

if under 10k, no need 10 min to consider, can decide immediately

[SabaDen]

No need 10k ... Still can get one at a reasonable $$ overseas. Local market spoilt by people lobbying for watch to be above 10k. Anyway, unless u collector, better buy is the GMTIIc ... cos chances is u'll use it without worry rather than if you get the GMTII 3186.

[seiko.citizen]

indeed. I may go and approach my AD after exams and see if she got any lobang for 16710... something I would love.

Are you talking about the 116710 or 16710?

16710

[seiko.citizen]

116710 confirm the 3186 is inside, no need to check. it is the 16710 that got mix of the II and ll print on dial and differing mov't

Cannot ar.. 16710-3186 movement now.. 10K is EXTREMELY rare even overseas as stocks of it are dwindling. I was quoted by a few sellers ranging from just under 10K to 13/4K...

16710

woo hoo...i got the 16710 before the 2% GST hike last year...and it was a pretty good deal..

didnt know that its such a popular model....

the only sad thing is that I didnt manage to get the black/red which i wanted initially, I waited till the last minute before heading to HG, by then its already sold out...darn. Coming to 1 year, I have grown to enjoy the classic pepsi look as well.......

Me too...got my black/red GMT II last year and my intention is to get the full black but got to pay extra of $800 (forget it).

The AD was telling me that pepsi is more popular in US whereas Asia is more on Coke.

I understood from various country's AD that the all black is now the less popular among the 3 bezels. And on the resale market now, the blue/red commands the highest value in some countries.. So, hold on tight to your watches... :-)
