GMT IIc 116710 bracelet model number?

[Magic-Matt]

Hey guys, quick question:

If I whip the bracelet off a GMT IIc (116710) what bracelet model number should I expect to see engraved on the back of the SEL's?

Cant find anything out there on this!

Thanks as always!

Not sure of the bracelet ref number now but reference is now is on the Sel as in picture below its no longer visible unless bracelet is removed.Myself cannot see any point in taking a bracelet off unless you have bought watch from a unreliable source to check or to change bracelet to a strap etc.

Well, its just an added precaution really to ensure the bracelet is genuine, matches the watch date of manufacture etc, as its a watch I will be viewing from a private seller

You cannot get a exact date of manufacturer for any Rolex watch all you can get is a approx year when the case or clasp was stamped.So its possible by any Internet chart the case approx year stamp could be different from the clasp stamp.

Yes, thanks, thats very true. Its in fact an 09/2011 on the dealer card stamp, so I guess its going to be a random serial by then. At least now with the bracelet model number from the previous poster it gives something extra to work with when evaluating the watch.

Aside from that I usually check winding/setting/date change is correct, then pop the back off and check the movement is good/correct/genuine, check the LEC at 6 o'clock, match serial on chapter ring and case with dealer card, and then afore mentioned bracelet check wherever codes/numbers are available.

Then I check the booklets match country of origin, and that the lume is correct on markers/hands etc for the watch era (using a UV light).

If I still have any doubt I call the AD where the watch came from to verify.

Anyway, hopefully all will be good, will keep everyone posted!

Thanks again to the posters so far!

It could be a Gxxxxxx serial as both random and G have been running in the same time frame as the random latter part of 2010 till present time.And will add there have been a few reports on new watches bought new from ADs with no LEC in the crystal serial is the most important.

Glad you pointed that one out, probably would have been enough to make me walk not having known! Thanks!
