Our GMT-Master II stock currently runs from $17,600 to $40,900. The left-handed 126720VTNR Destro opens the range at $17,600 in our inventory, the steel 126710BLNR Batman sits at $19,800, the 126711CHNR Everose Rolesor Root Beer at $20,900, and the grey-bezel steel 126710GRNR at $20,950.
Gold carries the premium: the two-tone 126713GRNR is $24,400 and the full Everose 126715CHNR Root Beer tops the collection at $40,900. Steel GMT references remain waitlisted at retail, which is why a pre-owned example is usually the fastest realistic way onto the wrist.
Every Rolex GMT Master for sale on this page descends from a 1955 tool watch built to a Pan American World Airways brief: give transatlantic crews one watch that shows home time and destination time at once. More than seventy years later the GMT-Master II is the most collected traveler's watch in the world, and the only Rolex whose references are better known by their sodas and superheroes than by their numbers.
We are an independent pre-owned dealer with six GMT-Master II references in stock across by-appointment offices in Brickell, Aventura and Downtown Los Angeles. Each watch passes an independent authentication review before listing, ships free by insured FedEx Priority Overnight anywhere in the US, and carries our one-year warranty. We buy, sell and trade GMTs weekly, so the mix below changes. The nicknames rarely do.
The original GMT-Master, reference 6542, arrived in 1955 because Pan Am wanted its jet-age pilots to track two time zones on one wrist. Rolex answered with a fourth hand circling the dial once every 24 hours, read against a rotating two-color bezel: red for daytime hours, blue for night. That red and blue Bakelite bezel is why collectors still call the color scheme the Pepsi.
The II in GMT-Master II means something mechanical. When reference 16760 launched in 1983, Rolex decoupled the local hour hand from the 24-hour hand. Land in a new time zone, pull the crown one click, and the hour hand jumps in one-hour steps while the movement keeps running and the 24-hour hand holds home time. That is a true dual-time watch, not a dial with a second hour hand painted on, and it is the reason frequent flyers keep choosing this line.
Current production runs calibre 3285: roughly 70 hours of power reserve, Chronergy escapement, chronometer rated to plus or minus two seconds per day, inside a 40mm Oyster case water resistant to 100 meters. The two-color Cerachrom ceramic bezels built the modern nickname culture. Blue and black became the Batman with the 116710BLNR in 2013, the same bezel on a Jubilee bracelet gets called Batgirl, brown and black is the Root Beer, a nickname inherited from the two-tone 1675/3 of the 1970s, and green and black is the Sprite, worn by the left-handed 126720VTNR that collectors call the Destro. The grey and black 126710GRNR of 2024 promptly picked up Bruce Wayne.
Since 2018, Rolex has offered its steel GMT-Master II references with a choice of Oyster or Jubilee bracelet under the same reference number. The three-link Oyster keeps the tool-watch character; the five-link Jubilee, a design dating to 1945, dresses the watch up and wears noticeably softer. It is the single biggest wearing decision on a modern GMT, and the reference number alone will not tell you which one you are getting.
The GMT-Master II is the watch we sell most often to people who actually use the complication: Brickell clients running on London and Zurich market hours, and buyers timing visits to our Downtown LA Jewelry District office around LAX departures. All three offices, including Aventura, are by appointment, and the most requested table setup is Batman next to Root Beer, one steel, one gold-toned, so ask for both when you book.
On this model the bezel is the purchase. Movement, case size and bracelet architecture are shared across the modern line, so the real decision is Batman blue-black versus Root Beer brown-black versus Sprite green-black, and whether you want it in steel, two-tone Rolesor or full gold. Decide the color story before you compare prices, because a great deal on a bezel you do not love never survives the first week of ownership.
Steel GMT-Master II references have shipped with either bracelet since 2018, under identical reference numbers. The Jubilee's five links flex around smaller wrists and read dressier; the Oyster keeps the pilot-watch attitude the line was born with in 1955. When you buy pre-owned, confirm which bracelet is actually on the watch and whether it is the full original configuration, because swapped bracelets are common in this market.
The defining GMT-Master II feature is also its best health check. With the crown at the first position, the local hour hand should advance in crisp one-hour clicks with no slop, and the date should snap over as the hand passes midnight. A mushy jump or a date that lags is the classic sign a GMT needs service, and on calibre 3285 you should also see close to the full 70-hour reserve.
Cerachrom bezels, standard since the 116710LN in 2007, will not scratch but can chip at the edge from a hard knock, so inspect the bezel rim at 12 o'clock closely. On the aluminum-insert 16710 and earlier, the risk inverts: inserts fade beautifully but are cheap to swap, so an untouched original Pepsi insert is worth real money and a fresh service replacement is not.

We keep six GMT-Master II references in stock across by-appointment offices in Brickell, Aventura and the Downtown LA Jewelry District. Tell us which bezels you want to compare and we will have them on the table. Payment by cash, Zelle, wire or crypto, same day.
How do you verify a used GMT-Master II is authentic?
Every GMT-Master II we sell passes an independent authentication review of the movement, serial, case, dial and bezel before it is listed. On this model we focus on the Cerachrom bezel and the jumping local hour hand, two components counterfeits consistently get wrong. Each watch then carries our one-year warranty.
What is the difference between the GMT-Master and the GMT-Master II?
The GMT-Master II, introduced in 1983, has an independently settable local hour hand; the original 1955 GMT-Master does not. A II owner can change time zones without stopping the movement or losing home time. Rolex discontinued the original GMT-Master in 1999.
What do GMT nicknames like Batman, Pepsi and Sprite mean?
The nicknames describe bezel colors: Pepsi is red and blue, Batman is blue and black, Root Beer is brown and black, Sprite is green and black, and Bruce Wayne is grey and black. Batgirl is the blue and black bezel on a Jubilee bracelet, and Destro is the left-handed 126720VTNR with its crown at 9 o'clock.
Should I buy the GMT-Master II on a Jubilee or an Oyster bracelet?
Choose the Jubilee for comfort and a dressier look, the Oyster for the classic pilot tool-watch feel; steel references have offered both since 2018. The five-link Jubilee flexes more and flatters smaller wrists. Resale is strong either way, so buy the one you will actually wear.
