my photo skills leave a little to be desired, but here are finally some pics of my new additions...the one with the block dial is the controversial Z that has been at the center of MANY threads...both are Z's and both have the 3186 movement. Oh, and the DD is another new addition. I traded my TT sub and my RR DJ en route to this trio. I am at peace with my Rolex situation.

Yes, its a long story, but basically, I let the doubters out here get to me about my early Z and its authenticity...that in turn pushed me to have it inspected by an AD and send it to Rolex, both checked out. In the mean time, I came across a deal on a Z9xxxxx that I could not pass up. So courtesy of a few posters out here, both of my boys will someday have 16710s!

Mike-
YOU have made like the coke bezel. I never cared for it until I saw y our stunning pictures.

nauticajoe · 23 February 2010, 01:13 PM

What am I missing? I don't see the "block dial"? But then again, I'm not a GMT expert.

my pictures are not very good, so it is tough to see, but basically, the 16710 had three (at least) dial variations...
GMT MASTER ll-stick dial
GMT MASTER II-roman numeral dial
a third variation that I cannot make with my keyboard, but the roman numerals make more of a block than a pair of romans...I am sure someone will post some pics here now that it has come up.

Congrat Kevin, nice looking piece.

One of my old 3186s. I think I called it a box dial. It would be interesting to see if any of my GMTs floated back to TRF...

chrislkb · 23 February 2010, 07:12 PM

Wow!

You guys nailed it on the head! My next purchase after I have filled up my pepsi can with funds (big can!)

Puffy · 23 February 2010, 09:36 PM

Lucky man!!

kgglonghorn · 23 February 2010, 11:29 PM

whats not to love about the Coke and Pepsi GMTs??? You all have inspired me to work on taking better pictures!

JP500 · 23 February 2010, 11:35 PM

I think my favorite kind of Rolex is the pepsi dial GMT.

I am waiting for a ceramic version

kgglonghorn · 23 February 2010, 11:38 PM

not sure if you have seen the photoshop versions people have done, but they look awesome. Unfortunately, I think we will be waiting a loooooooong time.

Daytonamania · 24 February 2010, 12:20 AM

Great watches Kevin and Mike the Pepsi will be my next purchase for sure 16710 or earlier hopefully.

sea-dweller · 24 February 2010, 01:39 AM

Nice collection !!!

hennabav · 24 February 2010, 03:42 AM

Yes, the old GMTs are classic Rolexes and will go down in history as classics as well. I was lucky enough as well to obtain an M-series with the 3186 movement from a collector a few weeks back. I personally prefer the coke bezel more as its a little more subdued. And I absolutely love it. Mine has the rectangular (block) dial as some may call it. Here's mine:
