n Ref 16760 GMT Master II...with Sapphire crystal...
in Solid GOLD...n 2Tone GOLD/Stainless Steel specification...???

Orchi,
I have seen more than 1 GMT 2 tone with those reference. I believe those are what are called conversion watches. In plain english I think it never left Rolex like this but can be made with all Rolex parts.Back in the late 80's I had seen this alot going back to stainless and visa versa.I had a friend that wanted a 2 tone sub and had his SS converted by a local unauthorised Rolex repair buyer and seller.He used all Genuine Rolex parts and my friend was happy with it. Now some call it a frankenwatch. If I am wrong I dont claim to be an expert or a know it all so please correct me.
