Is there any info on how many, of each serial #, are made before they move to the next number? (I always thought the serial tied to the "year")

And if known, specifically the GMT II tt 116713?

Thanks in advance!:thumbsup:

The serial is not tied to a "year", but rather to a set of years that the model was known to be on the market... Almost all serial letter prefixes were used for 2 years and some were used for as many as 4.. Rolex has had two or three prefixes in the market at the same time too... Since there is a letter and 6 numbers, then they likely released close to a million serials with each letter throughout the line

However, Rolex has never released production numbers, so it is unknown how many watches they produce each year, or how many of each model within the line are produced.........:cheers:

Thanks.

The 116710 BKSO means: Black dial, Stainless Steel, Oyster

The 116710 LN means Lunette Noir (Black Insert)

These are marketing and inventory codes for the exact same watch.. The Black ceramic insert GMT II
