GMT Master II 116710

[postiff]

Hello to all,

I am new to this form. I have been in the world of Rolex for almost a year. Pure luck I guess. Inherited a 1965 1675 with Pepsi bezel. I put some coin into the watch to get her running again, I hated it at first could not get past the blue and red faded bezel. Slowly grew on me and now I love it and have not taken it off for 7 months.

Anyhow point of this thread. I have finally convinced my wife to let me get the new 116710. I have one AD by my house at 7,000.00 however Stein Diamonds in LA about an hour drive from me has them for 5,695.00 could this be? They say they are new and authentic. I do not know enough to know 100% if it would be authentic. Has anyone ever purchased from them or know of anyone who has. Or can anyone point me in the correct direction to purchase one under 7,000. Not sure about dropping 7,000 on a “watch” as my wife says… I only plan on buying one and wearing it forever. I still do go back and forth on the 16710 w/3186 movement vs. 116710 as in my opinion a GMT is not a GMT with out the red and blue
