2002 gmt
I just bought my first pre-owned Rolex from a reputable dealer in Boston and have a question regarding said watch. It is a 2002 GMT ll (TT). Is the stem on this watch smaller than the newer GMT's. I have three Subs (SS, TT AND 18K) and all have much larger stems. The GMT is in pristine condition and a nice change from the subs. Even after shopping for a nice pre-owned GMT for a year I was paranoid about ending up with a fake and the reason for my stem question.
Thanks Alaska Laddie |

Hello.
I take it you mean the crown on a non-ceramic GMT is smaller than on a Sub. The answer is yes. The Ceramic GMT II's now have the larger trip lock crown. |

What Bill said, the crown is larger on newer models. However the stem is also slightly longer.

Yes the crown is my concern. I sure appreciate this site for the knowledge base that is available...thanks guys for the insight. I HAD to have a TT GMT with a green dial and waited 4 months for it to come together. I'm sure my green dial is 'after market' but it sure looks very nice and I find it more practical to wear than my 18k SUB. I bought it through Paul Duggan Inc out of Boston after a number of positive references.
Thanks again to the forums constructive response to questions. |

Your 2002 GMT should have both solid end links and lug holes. A great combo that was only produced for a few short years.
Congrats and enjoy, dP
