Hi, $49K is from AD or gray market? Thanks.

Depends what models you're comparing with. It is probably not very hard to get among some of the more pop sports models. But still not as easy to get comparing with the klassik Oyster Date and Datejust models. Dealers are often like that, they'll offer you very low prices if you're just selling a watch to them. Maybe slightly higher if it's a trade-in. Recently, I made a pitch to a watch dealer to sell a Sea-Dweller 4000; full local AD set in great condition. Was offered low-mid 9K (the selling price for pre-owned SD4K now is in the range of $14K to $15K at the dealers').

See the profit margin?

in that case, I will better off, trying to sell to direct buyer. have posted in the buy and sell. I think with the paper even the receipt, buyer can be assured of the authenticity

But the blue dial model remains 3186 movement.. Smart move by Rolex as not to upset the white gold previous model owner..

I just realized a drop in retail price of the white gold GMT-Master II "Pepsi" (Ref 116719BLRO). The current retail price is $49,370. It was $51,490 a couple of years back. When first launched, it was $50,300.

Their VIP will get it first.. was told by our AD here..

[Oceanklassik]

Thanks. AD told me they only received one piece per month. So the waiting list quite long.

There is no 'waiting list'. If they really told you so, they were not really honest with you. But well, it's their company policy how and who they should sell the popular ROLEX sports models to.

Just be patient.

Hi. Anyone know when is the stock available at local AD for new GMT Master II (Ref 126710BLRO) and he selling price?

The stock is ALREADY available with the local ADs some weeks back. Even the "Rootbeer" (new half-gold GMT-Master II) was available. Problem is, those were mainly catered for the ADs' VIP customers ONLY . And, the selling price is the retail price - $12,430.

i have been monitoring my batman from 1st May and till now it goes faster by 1.5 seconds per day, started wearing it daily since first week of March.

how longer usually that the watch itself will "stabilize" it's accuracy?

[Oceanklassik]

oh i mean batman for the black ceramic.

If you do it with the ROLEX Service Centre (RSC) in Singapore, you will have to forgo the original bezel. But in your case, I do not think the RSC will even do that for you. Why? This is because there is never such a design for the ROLEX GMT-Master II, i.e. Batman on full black ceramic bezel. This is deemed 'illegal mod' and RSC will never do that.

Any swop or change of parts must still retain its originality, meaning, as long as there is such a design in their collection, they will do it for you. Otherwise, no.
