Got me a "new" Rolex

Ok.

I decided that I liked the classic GMT better than the ceramic one. I also decided that the PAM 312 was just too big for my wrist.

So I traded my GMT2c and Panerai 312 for this beautiful "Y" GMT - and $7k in cash.

Lovin the GMT, came with all original papers and boxes, the only thing missing were the extra links..

How much are replacement links?

Great looking GMT! The links are fairly inexpensive especially used ones

Looks fantastic, congrats.

Forget the extra link and get a jubilee on that baby!

A GMT on a jubilee just does something to me....

Sold my GMT IIC and went with 16710 as well. Feels much better on the wrist and love the red hand.

Congrats!

I prefer the old 16710 too. Links are readily available from any AD or just get some preowned ones from a seller here.
