Rolex GMT-Master II Steel Watch 16710

[Zi Pie']

I would love to get an Old GMT II, what do you guys think of this one ? I'm new but it looks good. It should be from the '90, serial E.

Looks good and pretty in the pictures.

Indeed.
Also they have a 30 day return policy, my only rolex is from Capetown, I never dealt with anybody else, at the moment they dont have a gmt like this one with papers.
Ermitage Jewelers has got some good reviews and it's BBB Accredited Business since 09/1, but I'm on the fence still.

Any other opinion beside Imon. ?
(thx again) ;)
I emailed them asking if they could they open the watch and take a pic.

watch looks good to me.

I'm not a GMT expert. The crown and crown guards - are they correct?

Looks a little polished down from the crownguards, or that could just be from the heavy photoshop job. Hands also look like they aged a little, but that's not a big deal.

Here is what I see. The bezel insert is an aftermarket insert. Also, it would be one of the last models with the tritium dial before switching to luminova. The lugs appear nice and full-sized with sharp corners.

Thank you for your answers !!
I'm not really an expert yet :) , especially for GMT.
So in short words for 4.3k is this a good deal ? 14 days return policy.

Have them take a pic of the watch, holding it so you can see how much the bracelet curves when unsupported. Hard to tell, but it might be stretched. If that's OK then $4300 isn't too bad of a price for that. Might try to get them to knock a little off if the bezel insert is aftermarket, though.

Thats wise, I haven't thought about the stretchiness, I browsed jubilee and they arent cheap at all !!
I ll ask tomorrow morning as soon as they re-open.
I tried, to get some hundreds off, It won't go below 4300, It was 4500 earlier.
It gives me free shipping tho.
The dealers is Ermitage jewelers by the way.

If you do get it, be sure to start another thread with detailed pics taken by you to be sure you got what you paid for. Good luck with it. I bought my GMT online with the help of a bunch of TRF'ers.

[Zi Pie']

That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Ty :)

Try greekbum here on the forum. He usually has a GMT for sale and his prices are very reasonable.

Looks like a heavy polish job to me. Notice how the springbars are almost perfectly even with the lugholes ... not a good thing, IMHO. Also, you really need to inquire about stretch in the bracelet since the older jubilees have hollow links and stretch like crazy.

I got the same feeling, i mean this watch is 22 years old, and looks like brand new.....I m waiting pic of the bracelet, but I ve got more doubts about the purchase..
