As far as I know these were NOT produced by Rolex but rather customized by a Japanese company afterwards......

Rolex will not service these.

To state that these are 'No Longer in Production' is a bunch of BS because they were never 'In Production'

I think -->

to the can.

ps.... a little thread I found regarding these --> http://jholbrook.proboards.com/index...int&thread=233

interesting info Pav

So this one is kind of in the same class as the Daytona Wiener? but rarer.

This one is a U serial making it 97'ish, if they were a real rare there would have to be a set number with noted serials on a list somewhere. hmmm whats the bet this one has either an aftermarket or redone dial and the GMT is all legit., still posing to be something it aint!

You are correct Pav. A "created collectible."

I saw two of them in a used Rolex store today in Japan. They were for sale for 858,000 yen each. About $8,700 US.
