TT GMT with green dial

I was looking at a non rolex dist site andthey show a TT GMT master II witha green dial and say it is unworn and has the Parachrom Bleu" hairspring. I did not know they made anything but the solid 18 KT gold with the green dial.

Is this a real watch. Am I allowed to post the site here???

That is the site. I like that watch although I would like the solid 18kt version. I was not aware that Rolex offered the TT GMT with a green dial also???

Im not sure it left Rolex with that dial as I cannot find it in the master catalog ?
My guess it was added after it left the factory. 116713 is the ref for the TT and it only shows black as the dial for this.

I've never seen a TT with a green dial either. Must be dealer installed.

Dealers will swap out the dial for $1,000.

Rolex made ONE in error that I know of, and the dealer tried to contact me to have me buy it before Rolex caught on and had them return it.

Bernard confirmed that they had the dial swapped with a gold GMT. They said it was still new and unworn, and carried a Berard 2 year warranty, which implies that the Rolex warranty is void.

Rolex does not sell the green dial separately...(or so they say)


My theory.......


Some buy the gold model with a green dial but want a black dial........... a Dealer wanting to make a sale swaps the green dial with a black dialed TT, and then the TT goes out the door to the Grey Market.. Or, if both are already grey, it's a no cost switch for them......
