Hi

My first time here. Is the GMT-MasterII considered a vintage Rolex?
Just making sure I am in the correct forum
Thank you
Rick

Hi

If the 16760 is it, maybe?
They are all sapphire - many would say no. If early and tritium, and a 16760 or a 16710 - then maybe neo vintage.

I consider my 16700 - which is a GMT master (not II) as neo vintage which is an un official term.

1993, sapphire, white gold surround, tritium - almost vintage.

They are considered classics and are not yet vintage.

Below are a couple threads discussing "what is vintage."
