M-series 16710 GMT-II

[keltzar]

I just read that rolex is still producting the old GMT-IIs in red/blue and maybe red/black because they haven't been able to do a tu-tone bezel for the 116710 yet. These are M-series...
has anyone seen one?

[minusplus]

First time I hear of a M-series 16710. Something new...

Anyone can confirm this?

[^Lee^]

I own a Z-series coke and never seen a M yet.

Or...it's only available in westerm/europe countries???

This is certainly a rare anomaly of Rolex production. All 4 are M serials. 2 came with black bezel and 2 with Pepsi bezel. There is no notation on the paperwork or otherwise to indicate they have the 3186—-the only way to determine the type of movement is to open the watch to confirm. Another possible example in Finland (with Z serial) has been mentioned in a previous post on the watch forums. You will also notice that the pictured watch has an unusual dial—-the "II" of "GMT-Master II" is in "non-roman," or "stick" font. The stick II on GMT's have been bantered about regarding the GMT's collectability and possible dial printing error. There are many GMTII's with the same dial, presumably without the 3186. Interestingly all four of the noted 3186 GMT II’s have this dial variant. More images if the Stick Font II are listed below.

gmt-II 16710 confirm have M series. i have asked my bro to source for me in US. he's with SIA so i suppose he's there often. will update if & when he finds it and actually buys it for me. a US friend told me there's strictly NO discount but it beats paying for equally high prices for pre-owned ones in spore now. the shopkeepers are but a murder of crows circling over common folk like us waiting to "chop" carrot.

M series are only found in western countries don't ask me why. But they are very limited.
