Second Rolex?
Hello all! I am a humble collector, and have managed to purchase one (new) GMT II in my travels... My interest has always been a bi-tone Sub. What is the current market value of these? New and/or very close to like/new... Thanks!
Regards, Dave |

Thanks for the replies and the welcome guys. I have spent some time digging around in the FS section per Ed's suggestion and quickly realized that my question probably sounded quite naive! With so many models to choose from, prices can vary considerably. So I think my first move will be to go out and purchase a copy of The Rolex Report to try to narrow down exactly what I am looking for, and how to identify it out there in the marketplace.
I am sure I will be asking for tips along the way - thanks guys! |

Wow, thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
I bought my 16710 new about eight years ago from an AD here in Seattle. It probably has two-three years of actual wrist time, so it is just about due for its first service for cleaning/regulating. Every time I wear it I am still in awe of how nice a watch it is. Love it! |
