i have a 2004 gmt master II on the sides of the watch, the link from the band to the watch are hidden and on the 2006's you can clearly see the pin that connects the band to the watch, is this some thing new ?

ok so i have been lookin around online and some of them have the SEL bracelet so my next question is does this feature cost more ?

I am slightly confused and assume your are talking about the lug holes in the case sides of the watch.I think the change over was in the Y series about 2002-2003.

As for the SELs they became standard in about 2001 on most sports models.The exceptions being the Seadweller which was one of the first to get the SEL and the No Date Sub which doesn't get the SEL at all.

BTW. The above dates are estimates only and some others may be able to provide exact times and models.

A BNIB 2006 model.....IMPOSSIBLE that it could have lug holes. Something wrong here!!

Remember just because a watch is BNIB and bought in 06 doesn't mean it is the current latest and greatest.

Even if a watch is an old model (production model) it is still a new watch.It might be old stock but still a new watch.

I also beleive the Y series watches that didn't have lug holes had another letter in the serial # denoting it was a transitional model.(Some Y's had lugs and some did not.

Lug holes on sports Rollies disappeared from the very end of the Y-series. My TT Blue Sub was a Y-953xxx and had no lug holes. Just a few days prior to my purchase, I had seen a TT Blue Sub, Y-856xxx and it did have the lug holes.
