Went to the AD to pick up a couple of straps they had ordered for my Patek 5146 and while there I figured I'd try on the gold GMT again, it was the 116718LN black dial model.

The one they had is pretty case worn and the AD offers it to me for 25% off as they were about to send it back. Had it not had a scratch in the gold on the bezel triangle I would be wearing it now

.

I think I am going to be trying to set up a deal with a TRF trusted seller soon, I love the weight of this watch.

Full gold gmt is nice and heavy. There are few nice one on the sales forum. Good luck with the purchase.

jvo300 · 16 June 2013, 08:01 AM

As someone who just received one from a trusted TRF seller, I can tell you that you can get an even better deal for a near mint peice. Goodluck!

SohAIS · 16 June 2013, 08:14 AM

Get it it's an awesome watch

advocatia · 16 June 2013, 08:18 AM

Nicest rolex in the current lineup imho in any variant.

Chaching · 16 June 2013, 08:45 AM

Love the 116718LN!

codecow · 16 June 2013, 08:55 AM

I must say the pics you guys threw up are making me want it even more.

What are these trading for?

Tonynlia · 16 June 2013, 10:31 AM

The Green dial and solid gold GMT looks a lot nicer IMHO

TimeOnHand · 16 June 2013, 10:34 AM

Yup it's my favourite Rolex in my collection!!!!

nyfida · 16 June 2013, 10:39 AM

Where's the green dial owners to represent.

codecow · 16 June 2013, 11:01 AM

I'm going to go try on both side by side before I pick one but I think I am liking black, plus I already have the Hulk :)

awesome in solid gold. i've never seen it in person.

i'd imagine under light it's pretty shiny, no under the radar with that one... what's it like wearing it at a bar?

Attracts alot of GOLD DIGGERS!!!

I have owned and will own again an 18Kt Bluesy.

krzspeedstr · 16 June 2013, 11:32 PM

I really love this watch, my small collection does not include any solid gold.

I am torn between this one or the new YMII as my next purchase

If you're ready to buy now, I'd get the 116718 for near the same amount. If you still have to save, then maybe get the SS YM2 when prices eventually come down and put off the YG.

sea-dweller · 17 June 2013, 01:04 AM

Nice photos, gents!

codecow · 17 June 2013, 04:43 AM

Ok, so I was running this morning thinking about the GMT and I was wondering if I had too many Rolex already and should consider an AP instead, any GMT YG owners also have a gold or rose gold AP?

Purchased mine a little over $15kUSD, however, they can be found mint, complete, preowned for no more than $20kUSD.

One of my favorite Rolex timepieces in my humble collection! ;-)

Posting for the gent that asked about the green dial!

Of course you're right. It's just the acquisition order. The AD for AP in the Bay Area is complete garbage they have maybe 1-2 ever in the store and they're complete bastards.

Thanks Chaching. I was curious also. I find the all gold D.D. to be too much bling but the gold GMT with ceramic bezel looks great.

It sure does! It looks awesome and not too crazy either. The polished PCLs do pop in certain light. It's just an amazing watch! Gold Fever!!!!
