Help ! Gmt Ii S/s-18k
Guys
A December 2005 GMT II in Steel/Yellow Gold. Is this likely to be the new ceramic bezel, or slightly too early. Need to know when that model (116713) was launched (UK). Help appreciated. Can buy it brand new on a D serial number for £3000 (approx $6000) - cheap IMO if it is ceramic new model. Not so cheap if it is old model.... Help appreciated ! Dan |

the ss gmt 116710 was released this year. The full gold was released two years ago and the TT model a year ago. I think it's really cheap

Hi, Dan!
First a big welcome to TRF: cheers: 2005 is too early! In 2005 the ALL-GOLD version was introduced and in 2006 the TT ("Rolesor") version of the GMT II was introduced. I'd from that deal!

Just get the 116710 and spray it gold, that's what I did.

£3,000 is just a little strong for a 2005 16713 and £3500 is about as low as I've seen a 2006 116713 go for.
Watchesdotcodotuk have a 2001 16713 for £2k with a year's warranty but the new model really is a worthwhile purchase.

Paul, having read that other recent thread, I thought it was PLATED?

Did you not know, Bo? My watch is white gold, plated with rhodium and further plated with Dulux gold paint. That makes it quite rare.
