Hi
It seems to be a classic GMT ceramic yellow gold ref 116718 LN with an aftermarket bezel and hands changed, the original is this one ref 116758 SARU, with diamond on the case. Best Regards Marc ...
Thanks
Mmm. I rushed into the purchase and didn\'t like the seller too much to be honest. Not my finest moment. I am more careful now I am a bit older. Thanks for the feedback.
mish mash or not: that is a super looking Rolex!

the ref. for this one is 116748, not 116758...
the former does not feature diamond-set lugs, while the latter does.
Thanks a million!
Well done. Great info. So it is a genuine original Rolex model not a dealer playing with bezels! Great I will take an in depth look. Thanks much appreciated.
well...
the lugs sans diamonds pretty much gave it away? this one does seem to have seen a polish wheel once or twice judging by this pic though.
so to ask
How do you see if it is not a 116718 (classci yellow gold) with bezel and hands changed or a 116748 ?
