"Just when you were thinking this was an insane price for this watch, stop and consider the following:

THIS IS THE EXTREMELY RARE GMT MASTER II WITH THE 3186 CALIBER MOVEMENT INSTEAD OF THE 3185 MOVEMENT NORMALY USED IN THIS MODEL. THE 3186 MOVEMENT IS IN THE GMT MASTER II MODEL 116710 WITH THE CERAMIC BEZEL.

IN 2008 RIGHT BEFORE THIS GMT MASTER II WAS DISCONTINUED, ROLEX HAD A LIMITED NUMBER OF WATCH CASES LEFT BUT HAD NO MORE 3185 MOVEMENTS AVAILABLE.

ROLEX SOON DISCOVERED THAT THE 3186 MOVEMENT DESIGNED FOR THE NEW CERAMIC BEZEL GMT II, ALSO FIT IN THE OLDER WATCH CASE. ROLEX QUIETLY INSTALLED THE NEW 3186 MOVEMENT IN THE OLDER CASE WITHOUT ADVERTISING IT TO THE PUBLIC AND HENCE THE GMT MASTER II TRANSITIONAL MODEL WAS BORN.

AS ROLEX DOES NOT PUBLISH PROCUCTION NUMBERS IT IS NOT KNOWN HOW MANY OF THESE WATCHES WERE PRODUCED BUT IT IS ESTIMATED BY EXPERTS THAT ONLY A FEW HUNDRED, IF THAT, WERE EVER RELEASED.

NOTE ALSO THAT THIS PARTICULAR GMT II IS ALSO DOUBLE RARE BECAUSE IT HAS THE EXTREMELY RARE " ERROR " OR STICK DIAL WITH THE ROMAN NUMERALS IN GMT II PRINTED AS STICKS ie: NO LEFT TO RIGHT BARS ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE VERTICAL BARS. See Photos.

THIS WATCH COMES WITH THE COMPLETE SET, ie: CORRECT INNER AND OUTER ROLEX BOX, ALL MANUALS, AND WARRANTY CARD. THE WATCH IS CURRENTLY STORED IN A ROLEX PLASTIC SHIPPING COFFIN AND HARDLY EVER TOUCHED OR HANDLED.

THIS RARE GMT II HAS GAINED A CULT FOLLOWING AND IS RAPIDLY BECOMING KNOWN AS THE NEXT " Paul Newman " FOR COLLECTABILITY. IT IS CERTAINLY THE RAREST OF THE MODERN SEMI VINTAGE DISCONTINUED ROLEX MODELS.

THERE ARE PERHAPS ONLY 150 TO 200 OF THESE RARE WATCHES IN EXISTANCE AND FAR FEWER BRAND NEW OLD STOCK ONES."
There is nothing rare about a 16710. They made hundreds of thousands of them. No such thing as an ‘error’ dial either. The 3186 is unique but not worth that much of a premium.
