Is this a real GMT II and what price?

[baudie]

Hi all

First I hope I picked the right place for this thread and I hope some of you will be nice and give me some advise.

I'm new to rolex and I'm close to sell my Zenith. I think it's time to get the rolex I wanted for a long time and found this one. A brand new one will be next step, but since I don't have the money for the 116710 atm, and I do really like the steel bezel on this one (seller says from 1996), but I thought it is normally blue and red. Also the bezel is turned a little on the pictures and then I started thinking if this is real or fake?

If it's real, what would be the right price for this one?

Thank you for any help, which will be appreciated and I'm looking forward to finally get my own rolex any time soon.

Any other advise would be appreciated since I'm a newbie and don't know that much about rolex, so is this a nice version of GMT etc.

The bezel is supposed to rotate, this is part of the GMT feature. They came in blue and red (pepsi), red and black (coke) and plain black.

The watch looks good to me. Value depends on age, service history and accessories, much like a used car.

Thank you for a quick response. My wonder was because I thought a GMT II only turned in one hour interval and not like one minute as it seems like on this one. But it seems fine then and I might have my first rolex soon :)
