rolex GMT-Master

We’re obsessed with the watches in Bob’s Vault

What else is unique about Rolex watches? Well, the Rolex “Kermit” Submariner ref. 16610LV is the first time any color other than black has appeared in a stainless steel Submariner. It is also the first time the company’s signature green color has appeared in the collection. Please note: this bezel is made of aluminum, known to fade. However, this does not seem to have stopped collectors from taking an interest in this unique piece of replica Rolex history.
Isn’t she beautiful? Featuring an exceptionally robust 904L stainless steel case and bracelet with a luxurious platinum dial and bezel, this Yachtmaster is a top example of Rolex’s ability to combine form and function. Originally designed as a luxury watch for sailors, this 40mm watch has a rotating sandblasted platinum bezel that times regattas and can withstand 100 meters of water resistance. You may wonder what the difference between this watch and the Submariner is, other than water resistance. The Yacht Prestige has a bi-directional chronograph bezel and can rotate in both directions.
In addition, it will look great on your wrist on any occasion. Significantly more stately and dignified, the Yacht Prestige offers its own sporty and luxurious appeal that you will never want to take off. With its unique sandblasted textured platinum dial, this model is no longer in production, so the only way to get it is through the secondary market.
When fake Rolex decided to update the GMT-Master in the mid-2000s, their new models, like this Rolesor (two-tone) Ref. 116713, became instant classics. It is one of the most sought-after modern second-hand watches today, and since Baselworld 2019, Rolex is only making the two-tone GMT-Master II watch in Everose pink gold (no yellow gold option). So don’t let this one go unnoticed!
Also, this one is a collector’s favorite when it comes to pre-owned GMT-Master II watches. First of all, collectors love the more extensive “Super Case” and “Super Dial” because it has wider lugs, and the dial has more significant luminous hour markers and more comprehensive hands on top. Please note: the case itself is still 40mm.
However, its size and temperament set this watch apart. The Datejust II is loathed and loved, with a noticeably larger case and rounder than the typical Datejust. Because of this, it is an excellent choice for those looking for something a little more distinctive on their wrist. In addition, since it’s no longer in production, it’s an excellent collector’s item that’s part of Rolex’s history and can be kept in your watch box.
