I've never seen this model or heard of it before.

Have I been out of touch too long?

Is it available on the YG only?

Chozn1 · 22 October 2012, 12:29 PM

Yes sir, YG only and been around for a few years now.

Hairdude1 · 22 October 2012, 12:30 PM

Damn that is sexy GMT

GradyPhilpott · 22 October 2012, 12:30 PM

Oh Brother!

If my AD ever gets one of these, I'm sure it's gone in short order or it's a special order.

It does have a special appeal.

Bangel · 22 October 2012, 12:31 PM

Yes, I believe it's available in YG only, as an alternative to the black dial.

No, you haven't been out of touch at all. It's not really a watch you see when you walk down the street everyday! I think I first noticed it a few months ago when I was bored and decided to give the Rolex website a thorough going over.

versatile1 · 22 October 2012, 12:37 PM

The guy that owns the pub down the street has one. Only one I've ever seen
Very cool

Trouble15 · 22 October 2012, 12:40 PM

Yes, YG model only. Seen this model a few times at AD's and it is very beautiful in person.

joe100 · 22 October 2012, 12:46 PM

I've seen them in person before, the black dial is much nicer. Ceramic GMTs are okay bit the older gold models were nicer I think

77T · 22 October 2012, 01:01 PM

That dial combo deserves a solid gold bezel methinks. Engraved with the 24 hour index numbers and marks enameled in matching green.

But that's just me...

kxux · 22 October 2012, 01:40 PM

Tried that one on earlier this week in Vegas. Looks very nice.

gofore59 · 22 October 2012, 03:41 PM

Anyone put that dial in a SS GMT II C?

kbutler971 · 22 October 2012, 04:19 PM

These YG with the green dial look stunning in the flesh, the photos just don't do them justice. Very nice!

Andad · 22 October 2012, 05:06 PM

When did you arrive back Grady?

HL65 · 22 October 2012, 07:44 PM

Yep--been around for years. As for special or high demand--the black ones are in higher demand. It is unique and a very cool look in person. Cheers,

caryyee · 22 October 2012, 08:11 PM

I've tried one on. Yes, it does look very nice. But black I think goes better with the yellow gold case and bracelet, plus it's more wearable in more situations. When I'm spending 20-25k on an all gold Rolex, I want it to be a watch that can be worn with anything, that's why I went for the black dial rather than the green ...

capote · 22 October 2012, 08:11 PM

Green and gold goes very well together, not many other green dials around

Monte Cristo · 22 October 2012, 09:50 PM

Love that dial

SPACE-DWELLER · 22 October 2012, 10:00 PM

It was introduced back in 2005 at the Baselworld Fair and was the first model to sport the "super case" and a ceramic bezel... some call the green dial version the "anniversary" GMT IIC model, although I believe it was never coined that officially by Rolex.

mtrunner · 22 October 2012, 11:25 PM

That is my favorite watch unfortunately the price tag isn't my favorite. I will have it some day!

Likewise, i'm targetting one of them in 2/3 years, a bit out of reach at the minute, but one day it will be mine, oh yes! It will be mine!!

I've seen it in a SS and gold. Looks good but not original and that bothers me.

TSW · 23 October 2012, 04:59 AM

Love that combo!

Chris B · 23 October 2012, 06:31 AM

Sure is a thing of beauty, only seen one in the fresh, Bond St a few yrs ago
when first released.

Please forgive the rubbish phone-pic

ChristianN · 23 October 2012, 07:13 AM

Its a very Nice piece. I prefer it over the black dialed one. Green and gold is a great combo.

watchwatcher · 23 October 2012, 08:50 AM

Amazing looking watch. Never seen it in person...maybe some day.

You will see them from time to time on eBay in TT, but that is a mod.

Psmith · 23 October 2012, 08:52 AM

Very nice it is too, although I prefer the black dial version

nick c · 23 October 2012, 09:11 AM

Could be found in the Caribbean

I love that watch. If I could afford it, that would be the only gold watch I'd ever need to own andin fact would probably trade my SS GMTIIC AND SERTI SUB for one! I'd just be somewhat afraid that daily wear would destroy the bracet and i would never be ble to afford to replace it. At least the SS should last.
