Welcome to TRF. The SD is a great watch. You will love the GMT. Why not keep them both? Just a suggestion. The SD can be a tool watch. Good luck.

Welcome to TRF!

If you want to sell the SD here, you can do so when you have written 15 posts and have been a member for 15 days.

Best of luck with finding a GMT IIc Anni in HK.

Hello everybody.

Still doing my hunt and work prior to going to HK to get my Rolex.

Question:

1. Is this the latest 2008 model:- SS version of GMT II is 116710LN

2. Why is the GMT Master II 50th Anniversary ceramic bezel Ref. 116713 more expensive than the SS version of GMT II is 116710LN

3. When was the GMT Master II 50th Anniversary ceramic bezel Ref. 116713 released to the market ?

I know this is personal choice question - but what would you recommend as a better buy as I now like both.

And no - I can't afford both as the wife will kill me.

Thanks everybody for the constant help.

Yes the SS version of the GMT with the ceramic bezel is the latest.
The TT model contains 18K yellow gold that is more expensive, thus the higher price than stainless steel.
The TT model 116713 was released in 2006, and the stainless steel ceramic GMT was released in 2007.
