So here's a broken Rolex, currently bidding at about $12k:

Worth it? Seems like it should be going for maybe $1.5k unless I'm missing something...

Nope! Pass. Unless there is something absolutely amazing and unique that we are unaware of. I see there are 34 bids. WOW! Not sure why this is.

havingagoodtime · 24 February 2015, 07:46 AM

That patina though! :)

nickb732 · 24 February 2015, 08:38 AM

Small GMT hand, exclamation point dial?

Jfullm42 · 24 February 2015, 09:05 AM

And that insert :) I saw it when it was at $4k and it has risen quite fast from there

bdex75 · 24 February 2015, 10:41 AM

Just needs a little elbow grease.

That insert is awesome though.

Looks like a diamond in the rough.

Pointed crown guards, gilt chapter ring, small hand. Case looks thick.

Wonder what the cleaned-up version is worth?

crowncollection · 24 February 2015, 08:56 PM

Looks like it could be a nice find

kooltzar · 25 February 2015, 04:41 AM

Very nice

CharlieMae · 25 February 2015, 12:38 PM

It will sell in the high teens.

CharlieMae · 1 March 2015, 10:18 PM

SOLD for 15k. I expected it to fetch 17k, but eBay has been soft as of late with the global economy hurting while USD is on the rise..

fishinfool · 15 April 2015, 12:08 PM

Why so much? Is this a collectors piece? Someone please help a newby out?

Yes it is a collector's piece! Some of you should visit the vintage section when you have time and review some of the threads. There is a lot of info there on some of these vintage watches, especially the GMTs and Subs.

fishinfool · 15 April 2015, 01:40 PM

Thanks for the info, I'm headed there now

Chewbacca · 15 April 2015, 02:47 PM

probably.

bayerische · 15 April 2015, 04:16 PM

The case looks mighty fine! Definitely needs a service by someone else than RSC, new or preferably a vintage bracelet.

glocati · 16 April 2015, 07:41 AM

Pointed Crown Guards - PCG GMTs are really climbing... not surprised to see this. Chapter Ring Dial and Small GMT hand as well...
