Been looking at this GMT on Ebay for awhile

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-GMT-Ma...:X:RTQ:US:1123

Nobody has snatched it up. Do you think its overpriced?

On the iPhone it looks over polished with thinner lugs . Very pitted case. Should be better examples available for that price

Protruding lug bar on the bottom left lug. Overpriced for what it appears to be.

This comment is more for my education than anything else, but shouldn't it say Swiss Made or something, somewhere?

Yes it's overpriced. No bracelet. No box and papers. Over polished. Dials looks off, IMHO. You can do way better for $11k.

"The GMT master was originally designed in 1955 in collaboration with Pan American world airways for use by their pilots during world war ii. "

Seems the seller got a lot of things very wrong...

They did a bad job etching those numbers. Description contains errors, would stick to viewing that one from afar.

Look at all the case scans. Lot more to "not like" than the wrong spring bars and over polished lugs imho.
