116718 black dial YG GMT Master II date window?
I've noticed some of the black dial gold gmt masters have the green date window and others don't. Wondering if Rolex reverted to a black date window at some point during the production of 116718 or maybe certain pictures don't illustrate the green font?

Never noticed the green date wheel always thought it was black, looks great with green.

Supposed to be green. Mine is.
Could be hard to see based on lighting and angle. Mine is not easy to see in these pics.

The green dial had the black font date, but the black dial has the green hand and date.

Green date wheel on all black dial 116718. I have noticed in a lot of my own photos it does appear black. I assume you that is due to my poor photo skills only

The black dial should have the green date wheel. I bought mine when it was first introduced almost 15 years ago.

TYVM. The design always sang to me. Rotating bezel for timing... And I travel a lot so the complication is helpful. That photo is a snapshot in time. Several have moved on. But I will always have the 116718 and a 5-digit GMT with quickset date. At the moment, that is a 16760 GMT II fat lady. It’s a coke to be correct but one can change inserts around. I’m a GMT nut. Sport Rolex in general are my sweet spot.

Curious if the 116718 has the ceramic sleeve on the bracelet?
