My very best friend has just gave me as a graduation gift a Rolex GMT MASTER 2 red with black, two Rolex from graduation!!!! damn!! I think I'm going to study again jajajaja
But How can I see if it's original at simple sight?
Thanks!

Looks like a 16710 - some folks around here call that bezel insert the "Coke" as opposed to "Pepsi" for the red/blue one.

kyle L · 12 June 2009, 12:02 PM

Wow! Great gesture from your friend! And I want some pics!

karmatp · 12 June 2009, 12:20 PM

Great friend, you are indeed a lucky man. I would take it to a AD and get it authenticated if you have any concerns.

Mike B · 12 June 2009, 01:08 PM

Wow, I've never heard of a friend doing such a wonderful deed ! Heck, my own family members would not by me a Rolex, let alone any friends.
In fact, most of my friends could not afford a Casio for themselves, nevermind a $5,000+ watch for someone else. Oh well, it's not about the amount that they can afford to give you, it's how strong the friendship is IMO.
Consider yourself VERY lucky my friend !!
I wish I had friends like that lol

2th Dr · 12 June 2009, 01:11 PM

You're lucky that you have such a beautiful watch, AND you're lucky to have such a great friend!

Congrats on both!

benjitellez · 13 June 2009, 12:36 AM

hahaha thanks you all for your comments, I still dont believe it, I want to take it to the service and polish it because it has some scratches.
I'll take photos of my two rolex this weekend to show you both

jon84gt · 13 June 2009, 12:50 AM

Damn, I don't think I have anyone that likes me that much!! Congrats!!

Rebel · 13 June 2009, 12:51 AM

Wow. I can't decide if you are lucky or blessed.

Strange I have that same feeling ..... no such thing as a free lunch comes to mind or it is fake .Ok call me cynical , but if the person receiving it has a doubt about its authenticity ..... ???? Look I know that I have no chance getting a Rolex watch from my best friend , he is Welsh , getting a free bottle of wine out of him is an exploit on its own , however if he did offer me a Rolex I would NOT doubt one second its authenticity .

allanofcalifornia · 13 June 2009, 02:12 PM

WOW! What a great friend! That is amazing! Congratulations! Wear it in good health!
