Parts could have been changed with aftermarket ones especially the bezel. If you want assurance, just bring it to RSC for verification and it will cost you only $100+.

Hi seniors,

Had been looking at Gmt2 16710 black ss and it will be my 1st rolex.

Can anyone advise what to look out for when buying from the garage here? Understand the price will be btw 6-7k.

Is it necessary to get it verifed if i were to get with papers? Box not impt to me.

Thanks for guiding.

Ive been reading around..

The new gmt2 some call it batman right?

My theory from reading around...

Blue-black = bruise

'Bruise' sounds like 'bruce'.

Bruce wayne = batman!!

N the batman in the early 90's he wears blue-black bat suit!

Im a batman fan. But call it whatever, i stick to my coke n giving this batty a miss. Sorry bruise, i mean bruce..

Hi. Im no senior but here's my 2cents worth..

Ive bought 2 preowned oysters thus far (more to come i think).

Got my 1st on 121212 @ a 2nd hand watch dealer. Got my gmt-coke with only watch + cert. it was my first pre owned so i bought it rather quiuckly w/o 1st seeking forums etc. that said, im happy to have my grail of 14yrs finally with me.

Got my 2nd just 2wks ago from a seller on ***.

My 2 cents is this..

Buy from trusted sellers. Be it private sellers or dealers. Avoid sellers whom just joined in to make a quick buck. Though some as really honest sellers.
I would more often than not seek that the watch at least have a cert that matches the watch.
If the watch is more than say, 10yrs old, if it looked too pristine, then an initial red flag should be raised. That said, the watch could have been polished or even unworn since the time it was purchsed (again you gotta talk to the seller and hopefully you find him honest).
Do ur reading and research to get the basics such as what model number matches with what dial (ie swiss t<25 Swiss Swiss made)

Learn to check the serial number and model number. The bracelet code.

Condition of the watch is also important.

Bring along a friend who knows a lot about watches and specifically the model and brand youre after during your viewing of the piece. Bring in a body language expert if you want the credibility of the seller assessed.

If the price offered is too low, it could be a fake.
That said, high prices dont mean it's genuine either.

Above all, knowledge is key..

If all else fails, a small charge to RSC would mean you having a sound sleep, then i'd say, why not!
After all, youre not paying for a kids time teller here.. Youre paying for mens. So a little pinch is at times okay just so not to hv regrets in the future.

There are some sweet looking 16710 black in the forums and others. With box and complete set etc..

I wish you good luck and do update us if youve finally get it yeah..

Cheers

i should believe that the all black is here to stay. since it's the basic gmt-2c.

whatever it is, im keeping my coke.

i've got small wrist. so, maxi case and maxi dials don't work for me..

Hi bro, suppose to have 13 links in total. maybe you count wrongly? cheers

[noelang]

Anyone knows if the black ceramic gmt ii is going to be discontinued now that they have a blue black version?

[think123]

Hi, i just bought my first Rolex a GMT Master II ... cause a friend got it for me from an overseas AD he wasn't very through .. i would like to check how many links should there be?? I seem to only have 12 is that correct?

GMT 2C is one watch that looks much much better on the wrist in real life then in the pictures!
