Rolex seems to have gone with two tone bezels for the GMTs (Pepsi, Batman/Batgirl,Rootbeer) and retired the solid black. Why doesn't Rolex make a ceramic Coke bezel? I would consider that in a SS model while I probably would go with Rootbeer for the TT. Thanks in advance.

I certainly find my 16700 more practicable than the 16710 in that regamrd, though love both - superb watches!

I don't understand this comment. The GMTII doesn't have a quickset date because it uses that crown position to move the hour hand, which is much more useful when travelling from one time zone to another. But if you want to just set it to a second time zone and then not mess with it, then the GMT and the GMTII are equivalent, aren't they?

Or do I misunderstand what you're saying?

Great resource to have, cheers!

GMT 1675 is an absolute personal favourite.

What an awesome thread, Larry! Thank you. My 1675 (sold) and 16710N (worn every day).

Did the 16713 ever come with a full brown bezel?

Watchbox has a 16713 for sale and I can't tell if a 16718 bezel was set on a 16713 case.

Hi guys, I’m new on Rolex and is considering to buy used GMT master II.
I’m wondering is there and different between the 2009 and 2015 GMT master II(the black bezel one)

S.Explorer · 7 February 2023, 12:07 AM

The 2015 model may have an updated quick-set hour hand mechanism, assuming the 2009 hasn't been serviced and an updated mechanism applied.

There was an issue with the hour hand mechanism in the original 3186 movement wearing prematurely in some watches.

2voltage · 7 February 2023, 10:49 AM

Thank you. So visually there is no different between them?

S.Explorer · 7 February 2023, 07:28 PM

Visually, the dial font may be different and the clasp blade on the earlier models are media / sand blasted rather than polished.
