Should I buy this GMT?

Hi guy I am new to Rolex, please help me decide.
Someone offer me a gmt master ii 16710, from year of 2003, no holes. The watch does not come with its bracelet, and came in with some heavy dents on its side and corners. I was wondering how much is a reasonable price ?

Just my personal opinion, but dents such as those would have had to been caused by a VERY hard impact.

That makes me very skeptical.

Me? I would pass on this watch.

What's the asking? If the price is right, I would jump on it, but I like 'character' in watches.

Those dents are less important than all the factors that are not mentioned in your post: price, service history, dial, crystal, and bezel condition, etc.

You oughta go to chrono24 and educate yourself on how far 7k will go. I think you will be able to make an intelligent and informed decision with a little effort.
