GMT-Master (16700) collectable and trade value
Hi Everyone,
I just wonder if a GMT-Master 16700 circa 1998/1999 U serial (last production run?) with luminova "swiss" dial is collectable? Is $3800 a fair trade value or should it be worth more than that (it includes boxes, paper, books, tags)? Thanks, |

I would say no less than $4500., but then again I have a Pepsi and would not part with it for even that amount :)

Anything is collectable...
Belly button lint, baseball cards etc. Question is...will the thing be worth a gazillion dollars more than today? |

By trade value, do you mean "trade in" like at and AD, if so, they need some meat on the bone too..
I would think with Box, papers and accesseries you could get mid $4,000's. |

ANY GMT is collectable!
You have to love them. $3,800 is a great deal, if you are buying with all the goodies! But as John asked for clarification, are you trading in? |

Here are some good facts about your watch, it's worth less than a simular 16710....

Thanks Everyone!
That's my watch which I traded (not an AD) for another watch. I couldn't justify to keep both 16700 and 16710 ... Oh well, I already missed it :( |
