Keep in mind that service by Rolex on a watch of that vintage and model will cost somewhere around $1,000 US and take 30 days. My 1977 rootbeer GMT 1675 just cost me that. I am pleased with the watch. So, yes you can get a similar watch around $5k, without band slightly less but then you have to add for service. The fact that Rolex just serviced it pretty much guarantees it is 100% authentic Rolex as they will not service it otherwise. A watch just serviced by someone other than Rolex cannot offer the same validation. It is a handsome watch indeed! Service by Rolex helps future value as it is rare to find a watch of that vintage with the original papers. This official service record is the next best thing.
