What's on your wrist today

Jerome I bought this GMT used as a red/black “coke” with no box or papers. I immediately sent it to Rolex Dallas TX for a complete service. I asked them to change the bezel to a red/blue “Pepsi” and amazingly they sent the original red/black back with it. Incredible how much this watch has appreciated. I have a GMT-MASTER II 116710 I will post a pic of eventually.

I have 3 GMT MASTER II.
From different eras. 2 blacks and 1 pepsi.
This watch is still a great investment.
It went from 5000 euros 7 years ago to 14000 now ( full sets are more around 15-16k ). I predict that they will be around 30k in a few years.
Like the PP 5711 and the Daytona, it is now impossible to get one new from a Rolex retailer. And the demand is very high.

I couldn't agree more, bought my 'Pepsi' (M16700) back over twenty five years ago for less than 3k, easily worth triple that today. Had it recently serviced at the Rolex facility in Litiz, Pa and while servicing as we all know is not cheap it's worth every penny with respect to maintaining value
 
Dave that is a keeper. I am assuming you bought it new?

Yes Marty, my grandfather was a horologist and I bought it with money I got from his estate. His memory lives on for me in that watch, it will be passed on to my son.
