Hi, I am new to RWF and trying to find a fairly new GMT Master II for quite some time now. I was wondering if anybody could share some thoughts, if this is real?

Many thanks in advance

It is probably legit. The seller has been around for a while and has good feedback. Even though his latest sales have been for parts and accessories, he does sell a fair number of Rolexes. But, of course, you won't get an AD warranty, as he is a grey dealer. So if that's important to you, stick with an AD.

I don't see the warranty card in the photos. I think the photos are too poor of quality to tell if it is real. Personallly, I would keep looking and forget this one.

bad pics,but I think its most likely just fine.

I sell in ebay but when I buy in ebay I only buy is the watch is 100 hundrer miles for my home,and then I see it and buy,even if the seller has a good reputation,many things can happen while the watch is delivered,thank you

Watch is fine.

Warrenty papers(not card) are shown in picture.

primetime23 · 28 July 2008, 06:26 AM

Thanks guys for the quick replies and advice. Will contact the seller and ask him about warranty card

Papers are there. Watch looks just fine.

Silly me, I was looking for the warranty card, not paper.

Funny how the only photo in focus is of the back of the watch. Is he saying the retail is $6800? Also, he states the bezel is unidirectional. I thought the GMT was bi-directional.

ji603 · 28 July 2008, 01:41 PM

Pics aren't the best, but it looks OK to me. Common fake indicators on GMTs are poor bezel numbers, wrong crown guards, bad bracelet, incorrect hand order (second/minute/GMT/hour) in order from top down, and a bad rolex crown on the clasp.

'Course, nothing guarantees that the watch in the pics is the one you'll get, but for my money, the pics are of a genuine GMTII

Looks good

Guys, thanks for your thoughts and advice so far. To follow-up on Letsgodivings comment I asked the seller whether the bezel is really unidirectional only. He claims it moves counterclockwise only, isnt that odd or are there models that are only unidirectional?

many thanks

pwrslider · 30 July 2008, 07:24 PM

Should be bi directional....moves both ways!

I would keep looking. I don't think it's fake. I just think it's a bad deal.
