1) GMT || 16710 M-series with 3186 movement (hopefully) in Pepsi bezel
or
2) GMT || 16710 M-series with 3186 movement (hopefully) in LN bezel
or
3) GMT IIc 116710LN
or

Yes yes... you are right... after one or two years, you will be getting 15% from our ADs for 3 & 4.

1 & 2 BNIB, better buy before no more... buy already keep in safe for 20 years... wow...

would pay not more than 9k for a bnib GMT II same to the new model.

if your friend can find the GMT II Z / M serial with 3186 caliber at 5750USD GRAB them!New model can buy anytime in sg with good discount.When i was in KL the last trip i gone to this AD in KLCC asked them for the GMT 16710 the sales lady told me sold out long time ago and if you see one BUY IT!

If you were to ask me? My vote goes to the TT GMTc. Firstly because of the looks and I love gold haha...

But if you want something collectible and you have the opportunity...go ahead get the 16710 3186 movement...that should cost you ard 9k-10

1) buy one that u like.
2) buying for investment or wear?

personally i would not go for the M-3186. i would rather buy a Z-3185. why? this is because of the hype. honestly speaking, if im not going to remove the case and verify that it is a 3186, will the normal average person know what is the difference between the 3186 and 3185? alternative, there is the wiggle test, but then again unless it is perform, who is going to know if it is a 3186 or 3185.

the 16710 is commanding a premium price now because it is already discontinued. however, 20-30 years down the road, it may or may not end up as a cult status like the zenith daytona.

True true....esp on the bold part

[116520]

thats the reason why I bought a 16700 recently....

Very nicely put.

IMHO, if one wants the Cal 3186 for the GMT, then go for the 116710LN or the 116713LN.

[seiko.citizen]

nothing more than list for the for first two, and to be honest, i would rather wait for the IIc hype to die down abit

[jazz_samz]

I am unsure about this so need someone who travels to US frequently if US market, one is NOT paying as much premium as ASIA (HK and SIN) correct??
I think a 16710 M-series from the US is abt S$8k? Is there a 'Premium' on the 116710LN?

[tommy_uk77]

8k only?i also need to get 1

[jazz_samz]

I hear thats why I am asking ppl to confirm if its really true??? Wait for those who indeed got theirs from US to let us know loh..

[louie]

yesh its true back than i got mine for abt that price.But thats provided if your friend can find one at the AD now.Now ADs is asking for premium for this discontinued pcs so it is above 5750USD list price..
