Head over to the For Sale section and research the prices. It all depends on age, condition of the watch, service history, the availability of box/papers etc. Also, someone without a verifiable history of selling/buying watches will never be able to collect the same type of price as a reputable dealer.

I figured I wouldn't be able to sell here that's why I was looking for dealers/websites that I might be able to sell to. I Purchased my GMT Master II 16710 with Pepsi bezel in 2001 and it has flip lock clasp. I just had it fully serviced and has not been worn since I picked it up so it looks brand new. I talk to www.bernardwatch.com and they offered me $3500.00 but I'm going to pass on that. Thanks for your help anyway

I also have the original box, booklets, instructions, hang tags, links and the paper work on the 2 times I've had it serviced.

Welcome. Yea, the for sale section is where I started looking to get an idea on pricing and what is selling. I'll be posting my 14060 Sub next week.

Thanks Mike, I'll just hold on to it for a bit until I'm eligible to sell. If they allow me I'll post a link to my eBay user name so they can see some feedback on me.

Welcome- Having the original papers/box always helps with resale value.

Just sell it on ebay. You will not likely sell it here.

I went to a couple local Jewelry stores that buy pre-owned Rolex's to see what they might offer me.

His offer $2500.00
www.adolfjewelers.com

I thought this was hysterical, his offer $800.00 and I just spent $754.50 on service.
