Rolex GMT Master 1675 for $126,000??

Now, whatever this means, UAE Air Force? Or, if in fact this is worth this amount or not, I have no idea but, I don’t think that we’ve have ever seen a GMT Master for $126,000?

That is crazy, but don't forget, that's only the asking price.

Doesn't mean it's worth that, just the seller chancing their arm.

Having said that, it really wouldn't surprise me if some one was crazy enough to pay the asking price.

At the end of the day, what might be considered a kings ransom to most of us, to some very fortunate ones it's just a bit of loose change...

Also they may take the view 'find another one' in that condition.

Rolex GMT Master 1675 for $126,000??

A seller on Bond Street hyping “rarity” - due to a story about the Emir of Dubai - and he only issued 5 of them to UAE Air Force people - and all allegedly proved by blank papers.

Where have we seen this before?

No, if this was worth that number, and the owner wanted top price, I think it’d be in a Sotheby’s auction.

Well, the price is fully justified if you think that, back then, "UAE Air Force" probably only had 1 airplane, so this GMT was a limited edition of 1!
