I was out watch lurking today. I passed the window of one out of two AD´s in Stockholm. Saw some nice items. White and Black Explorer II´s, Explorer I, white faced Millgaus, Sub no date, Sub LV and a SD. Only got one picture with my moblie cam.

They also had a couple of other nice Rollies on display. A GMT with stones all over the place(not in picture)!! Another watch caught my eye though. (not in picture) It was a GMT II C....my guess a s/s model, but with the green dial. I thought the green dial only came in combination with y/g?? Any one seen this before...or could it have been a w/g version if such a thing exisit??

Only green faced GMT-IIC I am aware of is the YG model.

toph · 29 June 2008, 08:31 AM

i thought it only came in y/g too. I am pretty sure there is no white gold version either.

Quite strange, maybe others can shed some light

Agreed - that's what I thought, too.

In fact I saw one today, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, which looked really great. The AD told me that the YG GMT IIc model comes with either a black, or green, dial.

Davvan · 29 June 2008, 08:53 AM

hmmm...I looked at the watch for a long time....and the dial certainly looked green to me. Strange!!

Maybe I need to have a closer look, will go back tomorrow if it´s open. I never went inside the store since it was packed with poeple....

Green lettering and 24 hr. hand, but no green dial on SS.

Davvan · 29 June 2008, 09:17 AM

Maybe it was the light, David, but I'm pretty sure that if you saw a Green dial, then it would have been a YG model.

I don't think (and I may be wrong) that the GMT comes in any combinations other that SS, TT, or YG, with the Green dial only being available with the YG.

Anyway, please let us know the outcome

Only on Y/G model.

Supposedly there was a TT version with a green dial

and Gil (thewatchcollectorny) is a reliable online dealer.

Andad · 29 June 2008, 12:24 PM

There was one discussed on this Forum a while back but I think the dial had been changed to green by a non AD.

Wolfgang427 · 29 June 2008, 12:28 PM

Only YG.

I tried one on today and what a hunk of gold it was. Very nice

Markg · 29 June 2008, 12:31 PM

yg only...

astcell · 29 June 2008, 12:32 PM

My old AD did get a TT with green dial from Rolex but was told to return it as it was an error.

To get green dial with TT is $1000 after market.

rob · 29 June 2008, 04:05 PM

I do believe that there is a white gold GMT II with plenty of ice on the bezel and bracelet, w/a black face. Saw a TT with a green face on ebay once. The guy that bought the green face didn't like it so he modified it.

SPACE-DWELLER · 29 June 2008, 11:44 PM

I believe it must have been a trick of the eye. Maybe some green colour from the surroundings reflected in the dial. At least officially, there is no such thing as a steel or WG GMT IIc with green dial.

I agree. I saw my first green-dial in an AD last week. It's waaaay more "Kermit" than the pics online would suggest. It would be screaming at you that it was green. If we have to think about how it may have played tricks on our eyes or that it looked kind of green, it wasn't.

thats funny, since mine looks just like the pic i posted above in bright lite, and in dim lite actually looks black.

perhaps the one you saw had some unnaturally bright light focused on it?

Davvan · 30 June 2008, 07:01 AM

Most likely the light played trix on me eyes, but I´ll call the AD tomorrow to sort it out. I´ll get back with an answer shortly......but what if I´m wrong/right....

Davvan · 30 June 2008, 09:25 PM

I called the AD earlier today to have this sorted out. The told me that non of their SS GMT II c came with another dial then the black one. SO...it must have been a green reflextion in the window that tricked my eye. Sorry for the disturbance and thanks for listening!

cheers
David

SPACE-DWELLER · 30 June 2008, 09:49 PM

No problem. It's happened to me once, as well. A DD with Champagne dial looked like it had a silver dial (my favourite) in the window display, so I hurried in to have a look at it. Once brought out of the window and into a different kind of light, it turned out to be a Champagne dial.
