By the way, you coming to the GTG on Nov. 5? We need to fill out the GMT section of the group (and we'd love to meet you).
Yes, the YG/Green is just too beautiful. Is this the Vegas GTG? Either way, I'm booked that weekend, but would love to attend a future GTG.

Incoming 16713 . This will compliment 16710 Coke, 16710 Pepsi (also from 1999) and 116710 Batman (from 2016).

Are there other two color bezels on GMTs?

Very nice Root beer GMT. They do not show up often on sale, getting rare and hard to find one.

The OFFICIAL GMT Master and GMT Master II Owner's Thread

Start of the collection:
One 2016 "Batman" and three A-series GMTIIs - "Pepsi", "Coke" and "Root Beer" from 1999. Root Beer on leather is killer. Love the BI-color GMTs!

The Datejusts (blue dial a 17014 Oysterquartz) are both P-series and a nice snapshot of contrasting Rolex technology in 2000.

Daytona is F-series from 2005 and the Explorer II a V-series from 2008 (with 3186 movement). On gray leather the white dial Explorer II is surprisingly formal looking.

This will do for 2016.

2017 will be trading away non-Rolexes and dipping my toe into PM, a subby (or two) and maybe a vintage 1675.

Just joined the club! BLNR is amazing. Now just need to travel somewhere to make use of the GMT hand.

I would swap it. Too faded red part. Looks unbalanced compared to the blue part.

Got my baby back after 18 weeks at Rolex.... Let's just say that someone got saltwater inside their GMT and it needed a complete overhaul (I am now very poor) however the watch now it's like new!!!!!!

Yikes. Looks like they were able to save the dial. What all was done to fix it?

Looks awesome by the way. I just switched my insert last night, from Pepsi to Coke.

Well needed new hands, they couldn't be saved. But yes I did manage to keep my tritium dial which was good! New crown.. stem, and the movement had to be cleaned stripped and serviced. It was about 1100 pounds. Not good . Dearest swim at the beach ever
