Real McCoy's Chuck Yeager

Is this watch worth the asking price ? Being a modified watch will RSC service it ?

I'd love a Coke

I have been looking for a Coke to add to the collection, but this doesn't look like a good deal.

If Chuck Yeager owned the watch, which he didn’t, then sure. Otherwise? No freaking way.

Rolex will only service it if you buy an original dial from them.
It's not worth the money imo, but if you like it, go ahead and enjoy it

They make nice reproduction flight jackets but that is all. Someone might fall for it but this GMT has no collector value at all and is probably worth less in its current state than one which is all original and untouched. It is almost like someone other than Chevrolet/GM making a body kit for a Corvette to convert it to look like something it is not.
