I have heard of Spider Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Shrek 3, but no GMT-III!
 Think your AD was misinformed or he was talking about the NEW additions made to the GMT-II. (ie ceramics, triple lock, maxi) |

Never heard of a GMT-III so I would say your source got his wires crossed most likely with the new GMT-II with the ceramic bezel as mentioned by mfer.

I think the stooges are hilarious, but as destructive as they can be I don't think they could harm the new GMT-II

Agreed!
From reading here and wearing out the Rolex website, I think I know more then a couple of the people there and just kind of use them to hand me the timepieces. Mike |

In fact, I would think that GMT III is referring to the latest model GMT II with ceramic bezel although there is NO name that given

I would know if there was a GMT III in the works and I've never heard of it... with the new SS GMT Master II's just arriving at dealers I think you may have been had :)

your dealer's probably calling them that to avoid confusion with the earlier version of the GMT II. the current production GMT II has a different reference number...
i've wondered why they chose not to call the anniversary model a GMT III / after all when the GMT was re-vamped with a more complicated movement (independent 12 hour hand), the new offering was called the GMT II. Does the anniversary GMT come with a different movement?

Do you think Rolex will ever come out with a GMT-III? Seems the II has been out for some time now and what significant change would/could they make? GMT III just doesnt sound right does it?
Maybe I am slightly biased because of my new Maxi GMT II
