Gmt Master With Ceramic Bezel

Is this the new watch? My AD said they are preordering for 9800USD. Is the ceramic bezel actually just the insert and not the entire bezel? What good is that?

Yes, though the watch has been out for nearly 10 months so not so new anymore.

When you say pre-order I assume you just mean a standard order. They are fairly widely available so don't accept a long wait.

The ceramic bezel insert covers the main area of normal wear. My watch is six months old and is mint on the bezel insert and the gold edge.

It looks real enough, but I don't think the seller is an AD iif he is selling on Ebay, probably no warranty should be expected. I'd rather buy from an AD.

$9800 for the GMT TT in the US? Step away from the crack pipe.

While the watch "looks" genuine, that price is absolutely ridiculous!! You're better off going to an AD and at least making sure you're getting the real McCoy at the real price.

That is list price, I'd look for a double digit discount at an AD.

The watch is real. The seller is not an AD but he's a good guy.

Guys, I went to my AD here in Tallahassee last night. The manager didn't even know that the new GMT was already out. In fact he knew nothing about the new sub nor had heard Rolex is releasing something new. He said he hasn't gotten the 50th anniversary yet, and I was like, wow I tried one on in Key West about 5 months ago...
