At the time, some ADs here had the same watch for $5075, and others had already increased the price to $5750. I elected to buy pre-owned and have been pleased with my choice. After the 16710 model was discontinued, I watched as prices rose and speculation became rampant. The frenzy peaked when it was discovered that Rolex built some of the last 16710 models with the new 3186 caliber, as used in the 11671X GMT Master II with ceramic bezel. I still see some high prices for the "error dial" watches, even without a verified 3186 movement. I guess I can understand the fascination, it's like getting a Corvette C5 with the Corvette C6 engine. $5000 is very high for that watch.

What error dial afraid thats just internet talk,nothing more than simple font change.And if anyone pays more for a GMT with this font change or the modded 3185 into the 3186 they must be sixpence short of a shilling.With inserts around $75 you could change to what ever you like $5K is way way over the top for any GMT.
