Price of a GMT-II??

[Marrk]

Hey, careless, what makes you such an expert?












I have seen half a dozen 3186 Roman M-series Cokes in the last few days (new at ADs). Guess you meant just Pepsis in your Point #1, huh?

Your "observations" are very entertaining.

1. M serials all come with stick or box dials.
2. Roman dials are made until middle of Z serials, and late Z's have all 3 dials, some Z's have 3186 movement and it's sort of random between 3185/86.
3. It can be assumed reasonably that all M serials 16710 have 3186 movements. I've yet to see one post contrary to this (i.e. M serial and has a 3185).
4. Regarding whether one can fit a 3186 from 116710 GMT2c into the old case of 16710, a different rotor is required, see http://www.rolexforums.com/showpost....2&postcount=57.

As to whether the stick/box dials 16710 are more collectable, I think it is a "fad" thing. There are many traders jacking up the prices of these "end of the season" stock and since Rolex cannot produce a red/black or red/blue ceramic bezel, the demands on 16710 pepsi/coke will continue to be there. I expect once Rolex overcomes the production problems on the TT bezels and start producing ceramic pepsi, 16710 prices will drop back to more sustainable levels.
