Sell Your Rolex GMT-Master II in London

About the Rolex GMT-Master II

Introduced in the early 1980s, the GMT-Master II added an independently adjustable hour hand. Later Cerachrom bezels brought back the two-colour 'Pepsi' and 'Batman' looks and introduced the green-and-black 'Sprite'.

GMT-Master II references and generations

Key references and variants we regularly assess:

• Reference 16710 — aluminium bezel, Pepsi/Coke/black
• Reference 116710LN / 116710BLNR — 'Batman' ceramic
• Reference 126710BLRO — ceramic 'Pepsi'

Movements and calibres

What affects the value of a Rolex GMT-Master II

Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Rolex GMT-Master II:

• Reference and bezel colourway
• Jubilee or Oyster bracelet
• Box, papers and service records
• Condition of the ceramic bezel
• Bracelet stretch and prior polishing
• Current demand, which is strong for ceramic models

Selling a Rolex GMT-Master II without box or papers

Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Rolex GMT-Master II without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.

Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.

How Fair Vintage assesses your Rolex GMT-Master II

We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.

Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
