Two tone GMT 2 / 116713LN
Hi all!
Potentially in the market for a Two Tone GMT2 and recently saw one at a local jeweler. I understand that this ref was discontinued but can’t seem to find when exactly it was discontinued. The jeweler was a little shaky on when they stopped making this reference so just looking for some guidance here. Watch is a two tone GMT with black dial and black bezel. The year on the card is dated 2020 and he claims it to be ‘new/never worn’ with tags and stickers on it still. I do understand they sell sticker kits to make it seem as if the watch is new, but wanna make sure I’m not getting screwed here. Asking price for it is $17,000; does this seem fair/on point and is this watch really potentially from 2020? Thanks! |

I agree with the above statement.
That picture alone is not enough to tell if the watch is genuine or not. I have only ever seen wrapping like that on the bracelets of replicas. Replicas are too good today to identify from that one low res photo. However, the layman should be able to tell if a 'two tone' Rolex is genuine or not simply by putting it on a scale. Ascertain the weight of a Rolex 116713LN and off you go..! |

Even if that was never worn, never sized and full box and papers, it's not worth close to $17k.

I'm pretty sure that reference was discontinued in the spring of 2019, together with the SS black bezel GMT!
