I'm deciding between an explorer 2 and the GMT master 2, the thing is I prefer it white but I like the GMT functions. Tough decisions in life...

Free play on my GMT II besel

Hi friends, I would like to ask anyone with GMT master II if there is some or little free play when you push the besel vertically or horizontally? I've purchase this barely 2 mths ago @ THG & I do not know if this is normal. By the way my wife just got her submariner & theres no free play or movement at all on the besel.
Thank you got your kind response.

Rolex came first to my mind when I wanted my first "real" watch last year, to mark my promotion to becoming a father. So browsing here and there, I got myself an IWC instead. Though a happy man, I was still thinking of rolex. So here I am, a proud owner of a GMTIIc finally. A happier man now, and I hope the itch (some term it sickness) will stop...

Someone once told me that having another watch is never enough! The most important thing is to enjoy the piece (more likely pieces) ! Congrats on a beautiful acquisition.

Thanks for the advise.

1. Series
116710 is a fast moving model. I think you need not be too worried about the series. Chances are, you'll be getting either a G or alphanumeric series. Both are okay.

2. Full Set
Packaging: triple box ie. sleeve, outer box, green box
Inside: watch (of course), bezel protector, green/red tags, guarantee card with pouch, GMT II manual + warranty booklet, polishing cloth.

3. Named/Unnamed
If you have the intention to sell off you watch sometime down the road, it is probably better to leave the G card unnamed. Buyers, generally, prefer unnamed, IMHO. If AD insists that it must be named, I guess the next best thing to do is to ask your friend to put down your name.

Hi all,

Posted this in another section but got no response ...... Maybe wrong place to ask.

Anyway, hope to get some tips here.

I am getting a friend from Germany to buy a GMT Master II 116710 LN.

Was wondering if I should insist on a G series or should just take what's available from the AD.

What is usually included in the whole package of a new GMT II watch.

Should I ask him to put my name in the warranty card or should we just leave it unnamed.
( what are the pros and cons of this ? )

Appreciate any tips / advise.

Cheers

Is $13790 the list price?

Nett. After discount

[Oceanklassik]

IIRC, the ROLEX 116713LN retails at $15,680. It'll be about 12% discount if it sells at $13,790.
