Ceramic.

If it's real. Date wheel should be green on that model.

HogwldFLTR · 25 February 2018, 02:03 AM

Ceramic as there are engraved markings on the bezel; on Aluminum they are printed.

rebel_1 · 25 February 2018, 02:05 AM

It could be the angle of the pictures, but that watch looks suspicious especially with the wrong colored date.

Either way, it should be Ceramic and looks Ceramic in the pictures you posted.

They made a 116710 with a green date wheel?

I’ve seen them with both green and black.

Hard to tell on the site above however the watch posted does appear to have a black date dial.

zaydans · 25 February 2018, 02:15 AM

That’s clearly a ceramic model. Aluminium insert wouldn’t fit this model. Anyway, maybe bad pictures but the had stack looks wrong on this i.e. is that gmt hand fixed below the hour hand?

I was just thinking suspicious that we don't have a clear pic of that but I think it is above in the last pic. But the weight would be a dead giveaway so OP only buy in person so you can weigh it at least.

That crystal looks very clouded.

I think you’re right. The 3rd pic is a little more conclusive too.

breitlings · 25 February 2018, 09:08 AM

also think something is a bit off about that watch. Don't know enough to say for sure though.

king76 · 25 February 2018, 09:36 AM

i don't know if it is from the angle the shots are from but it looks like a whole different watch.

DoctorA · 25 February 2018, 09:51 AM

I too thought the date should be green but found this https://www.authenticwatches.com/rol...l#.WpH5v3CIaaM
Again not sure if authentic or not but it has black date!

Heypacha · 25 February 2018, 10:11 AM

Try biting the bezel insert. If it bends it's made of aluminium, if the bezel or your teeth shatter it's ceramic.

lecorsaire · 25 February 2018, 11:57 AM

Not having the green date wheel is really suspicious. Do the bracelet and case have the appropriate hallmarks? Do you have a scale to weigh it? Can you set the hour hand independent of the GMT hand?

Unless it was originally a green dial one that was swapped for a black dial? Also a watch from 2009 should NOT have anything but a warranty card. The paper warranty certificate was finished by 2007-2008. A Z serial is from 2006-2007. The earlier Z serials were sold with paper and the later ones sold with card.
