GMT II Master Questions

[unclesallie]

I need some feedback. For the last month or so, I've been thinking about a GMT II Master, 'old style', i.e. pre-ceramic bezel.

My question is: what is the difference in value between the 'root beer' and a vintage GMT II Master with a black or 'coke' or 'pepsi' bezel?

Is the 1675 more valuable than other references?

Overall, would you rather have a vintage GMTII with the acryllic crystal vs. a new one with the sapphire crystal?

Help! This has been going round and round my head .....

Dan,
Mike would be able to answer your questions best. But you might want to describe how you will use it. Is this a watch you would use on a regular basis or just worn on occassion? For me, a newer sapphire crystal GMT works best for daily wear and travel. If just worn at home from time to time I'd go for a vintage with an acrylic crystal.
Good luck,
