are the old style gmt going to become a collectors item now that rolex has the new one out?

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 December 2007, 12:22 AM

I seem to vaguely remember you having asked that question before?? Anywat, if you mean the predecessor GMT II's (16710), then no they won't become collector's items anytime soon. There have simply been made too many of them.

mamamia1 · 28 December 2007, 12:24 AM

even the blue and red bezel.even though rolex can not color the ceramic bezel.how about the blue two tone sub?

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 December 2007, 12:27 AM

Same thing applies to the TT (Two-Tone) Blue Sub, I'm afraid. Just TOO many of them out there.

That's like asking what the stock market is going to do tomorrow. If I knew, I'd be rich...

To name a few:

SS Daytonas (both new and old ones)
Doublered Sea-Dweller
Milgauss (especially the old ones)
Red Sub 1680
5513 Subs (also the COSC rated 5512 of course)
Sub 14060M (some say it will become collectible, too).

The Rolex Submariner 14060M is the Sub WITHOUT date feature and without COSC (chronometer) rating:

This year, the 14060M got COSC rated, and received the corresponding (more) text on the dial:

I'm going to disagree with the rest of the crowd..

I believe that the discontinued GMT is now, and will become even more "collectible".

Compared to other references, it (16710) has not been made in overwhelming numbers. All the early GMT's are already on most Rolex collectors lists to have..

The history of the GMT as we have known it since 1954, is one of the richest Rolex has.. That history, and distinctive look, defines the watches produced from the original 1954 pepsi through the 2007 "Z" model 16710....and stops there..

I'm gonna agree with ya' Larry. Plus the 16710 features not found on the GMT IIc [dual colored bezel inserts, 120 click bezel, brushed center links, red 24 h hand, lower profile and weight] just might make it more desireable.

But it's still gonna take a few years.

Just because someone agrees with you doesn't mean it's true.

Exactly. How many of these watches did Rolex produce? Methinks hundred of thousands over the years..........
Hardly gonna be collectable in our lifetimes.

10 years? I'm willing to put money against that. They're still being sold in AD's for christ sakes.

Good luck with someone remembering your words in ten years.

GoldenBear · 28 December 2007, 09:02 AM

As afraid as so many people here are about wearing their watches, in 10 years, the market will be flooded with many unused "classics"....

Welshwatchman · 28 December 2007, 09:02 AM

The jury's out on this one and time will tell.

Please try not to start another identical post to this one again. I thought it was Groundhog Day when I read it again.
