GMT on Ebay
Hi, for sometime I've been looking for a birth date Rolex. Came across this GMT on Ebay. Looks a bit abused so I am not interested but the band caught my attention. Were they really stamped 14 KT USA?
The seller also claims pressure testing done/checked but wouldn't it be lost once the back was opened for pics? Trying to learn the INs and OUTs. ![]() BTW heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-VINTAG...-/180849343363

Found this thread where someone says he was more familiar with the jubilee on a watch like that:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=223804 The pressure test would indeed be invalidated by opening the back, but he might say the pictures were taken just before. As for the bracelet, I found this archived thread where there is discussion on the fact that there were 14k bracelets. Haven't read the whole thing, but hopefully it will shed some light on it. http://www.rolexforums.com/archive/i.../t-184136.html |

The band is a genuine USA 14k band. The early GMT's were 14k. The watch and band are erroneously listed as 18k but are instead 14k.

The pressure test would've been done after the case back was screwed back down.
The 14K Trim Rolex USA bracelet referred to the gold Rolex crown applied to the clasp. The Jubilees had 14K loops in the bracelet. I'm not sure but I think that clasp doesn't belong on that D link bracelet. Here's a pic of the Rolex USA clasp from an old DJ.
