So, I figured this group could really appreciate these...

A good friend of mine in college had Pepsi GMT Master and I lusted after one for a while. They used to be in the Exchange catalog with the "must be overseas to order" red star. In 1999 my first assignment in the Air Force was overseas and one of the first things I did when I got there was get the new catalog...

BUT there were no Rolexes anymore?! Oh wait, what does this box say at the top of the Omega page...? "For the Rolex catalog, call this number..." The Exchange sent you a separate Rolex catalog and price list. I don't have the catalog anymore, but I still have the Exchange Price List:

I believe at the time (1999) GMT Master IIs retailed for about $3,500 (or $5,300 in 2018 dollars). So a 21% discount and no tax. It took about a month to arrive. Submariners were listed at $2,395 no date and $2,695 for the date version.

And the Cosmograph Daytona, refs 16523 and 16518? They were listed as "Not Available."
