I was editing my comment and missed this question. I’ve got the black and red bezel, coke? It’s now worth many times more than I paid for it. I wear it as a casual watch. I go into secure zones occasionally I’m the only one who doesn’t have to remove his watch.
Yeah. That’s the Coke. Awesome. If I had the bread, I would buy the Peter Fonda era pre-ceramic Root Beer
As far as GMT Master IIs go it’s nothing special, simple steel band. But I love it! It’s been refurbished 3 times. Rolex lubes it up, replaces the o-rings, face and bezel. Recalibrates it, I only have to slow 1 or 2 seconds per month after a refurb. However, the refurb now cost as much as I originally paid for the watch
Yeah, a service at RSC is like $900 and more if things need to be replaced. Luckily, I am 5 years away from a service on my Yachtmaster40 (2 years old) and 6 years away on a service on my Explorer 2 Polar (1 year-old). Other luxury brands are just as expensive to service. I have 2 Corums from around 2005 and they need servicing and they told me $750 just for the bare minimum stuff.
