Icon6 GMT master 2c.

Hey all.
I just got my first rolex, and its a GMT master 2 two tone yellow gold and steel. 2 things got me worried after looking at some forums. 1st, i dont have the green sticker most rolex watches have on their backs, and there's a weird clicking feeling at the at the top of the bracelet clasp. i got it from an official dealer and everything, but should i be worried?

Exactly! And BTW, most of the newer watches no longer have the green hologram on the caseback. No worries mate!

They done away with the hologram stickers a few years ago as long as you bought from a reliable source you have not got any problem.It sometimes surprises me some think a useless sticker is more important than the watch.Not sure what the click is perhaps it needs adjusting to your wrist size properly AD where you bought will do it for you.

The GMT IIC has the latest design solid link bracelet and the spring loaded clasp. I assume that the clicking noise that you hear occurs when you close the clasp. Mine also clicks when I close it. That is normal.

No, you shouldn't.

You should enjoy that timepiece to it's full extent.
