I was not aware of such a thing, at least I missed it on the Rolex website if there is.
But here is one in the window of the Doha international Rolex boutique
GMTII...
It's a GMT, not a Sub. But a rarely seen model, I've only seen one once (in a well stocked city AD).
Yep you're right, was not paying attention..Originally Posted by LukeBird
denotes 18k model AFAIK
Not impressed, blue or black dials are better with yellow gold - or is that just what I am used to.
50th anniversary GMT :)
It's just a matter of time...
Even if I had the money for it, wouldn't buy. Seems a bit unnecessary and too much in your face...

The blue sub on the other hand is drop dead gorgeous!
Its the Middle East, SS would never do. It has to be gold or Platinum.
Green and gold - all a bit 'jingle bells' for me!
Sure it's not Ernest Jones? Both look like TOY watches!
"Like my colours (red) green and gold"
This my friends, is henceforth to be known as the Rolex Karma Chameleon!
There's certainly a lot going on with that GMT, wonder who could pull it off other than a money no object Arab?
to be fair to them, they pull off gold well because of the skin tone. I do not, in my pasty faced irish whiteness. Also i don't really do gold in general.
The Doha boutique has the full range, however, tellingly, the Boutique in Al Rashid mall in Khobar was mainly Gold models. And flashy dials. It was a very blingy range. Kind of screamed 70's pimp at me.
Rolex can do tasteful very well, hence my owning 3, but they can also do the most awful bling.. I wonder how much of their market consists of rich Arabs in terms of actual profits as opposed per capita.

White gold or platinum.
Gold gold, i.e. yellow gold, and, indeed, precious metals of any colour aren't worn by the religious, because they are 'mamnua' - forbidden - for men to wear.
The less than fastidious or devout majority circumvent this injunction by wearing 'white' stuff.
