Opinions wanted on a Root Beer GMT
While at a local jewelers today I noticed a 1987 TT GMT with a jubilee bracelet. I has a little cracking on the lume close to the Mercedes part of the hour hand. It's all original and there is stretch on the bracelet. They are asking 1700.00 for it. Sounds very inexpensive. What's your opinion? =) maverick

Not very crazy about the Root Beer GMT Mav but I do like the GMT on the jubilee. The price sems good enough but does it smile at you at all?

Thanks, Prince. That's the one which will not appeal to all. I've seen one in person and found it to be quite okay. Personally, I wouldn't buy it, but if it smiles at you....why not? It's still a Rolex, right?

Hi maverick,
i also feel 1700 is a good buy for TT RB GMT, can consider.
Nevertheless, should check whether it comes with the paper, original box or etc... enjoy the fun getting it. ![]()

Price seems to be about right,not one of Rolex best seller,not so many around which could be a plus,in the next 20 odd years.Get your negotiating skills out Dennis and bargain hard for a better price.
