Hi ppl,

I'm thinking of getting my first Rolex watch, a GMT-Master II to be exact. I have been browsing around SG-ROC, trying to learn more about the watch before I buy it....

I have this few questions (might sound silly as I'm new) & I would appreciate it if any of you guys can help me:
1) Is that a way you can verify which series the watch is from (Z, M, V, etc.) by looking at certain part of the watch?
2) Is that a way you can verify what is the mov't inside the watch (3186, etc.) by looking at certain part of the watch?

Thank you in advance...

for question 2, i think can't. there are many discussion that some 'Z' series which have 'M' series dial surface(GMT-Master ll) is running on 3186.
i just own a GMT Z3XXXXXX which have GMT-Master ll surface(old one is GMT-Master II). Open the back just today and find out 3185.

Same to The Wiggle Test, it dont prove anything cos my friend's 3186 also fail this test.

but who care, both are great watch. if you really want 3186 movement, let me tell you , the eol movement is 3185.(Word from a buddy).

i just saw an ad from the backcover of The Peak magazine that i received monthly and there's this green dial GMT Master II, ceramic bezel and on yellow gold bracelet...very nice...the brand ambassador is Trevor Immelman...an awesome and stunning watch...anyone knows how much it costs?

[seiko.citizen]

you can try your luck with some freebies. 2007/2008 is M series. 2008/2009 will be V series.

If i were to get GMTII+c from local AD, what are the stuffs i can request from the SA apart from box,bezel protector and warrantycard? what is the alphabet for 2008 production for this rollie?

TIA

Oh what he meant by "Z & M series" is the year of manufacture. For eg. "Z" in 2007 and "M" in 2008. "16710" refers to the model no. as in Datejust is '116200', Submariner is '16610' and so on. "3186 mov't" refers to the most current watch movement used in certain ROLEX watches. The earlier movement will be '3185'.

Happy New Year.

Thanks ...appreciated it much for the explaination

Happy new year

[Oceanklassik]

Kinda new here...what u mean? "the later Z & M series 16710 have 3186 mov't inside."
