UK watch, available today with BOTH swing-tags and NO silly nonsense about the warranty card being withheld*! Stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master II model 116710BLNR with black dial / blue and black ceramic bezel insert on Oysterlock 78200 bracelet (which still bears some of its delivery stickers). Nicknamed the “Bruiser” or “Batman” GMT by fans because of its distinctive bezel colours, this watch is in superb condition with negligible wear to the glass. It comes with Rolex boxes, GMT-Master II booklet, both swing-tags, bezel protector and UK warranty card. This shows supply was direct from Rolex London to a named individual in December 2014. Typically, this means the individual had some connection to the company. The NEW RRP of this popular model is £6,850 but this is one of several steel professional models that can now be very hard to obtain new, so we are selling it at a significant premium. Rumours are rife that production of this model (introduced in only 2013) may cease and that a different version with new movement will be released at the imminent 2019 Basel show. Almost inevitably, values have continued to soar. Clearly if you can find one at RRP then you should buy it. Good luck!
* While their clients have to wait months or years for certain models in the stainless steel Professional series of watches, some Rolex main agents are now stripping new watches of delivery stickers, keeping the numbered swing-tag and refusing to supply the warranty card until a year or more after sale. This is an attempt to hinder the premium resale or “grey market” in the watches which their very lack of supply causes.
Price: £9,799
