Hi am I crazy for thinking of Trading my Tudor 79090 Black Dial Head only and my Rolex AirKing 5501 on Alligator Just serviced at ABC Watch Werks for a 61/62 Rolex GMT Pepsi that looks like it has Service hands,bezel insert and Dial and the Jubilee bracelet is not original to watch. I know finding a Guilt dial for it will very costly if I can find one and the hands I can probably find a set to match the service dial that has nice patina.

Let's see the other two?

sryukon · 6 April 2014, 11:43 PM

Here they are

Old Expat Beast · 6 April 2014, 11:45 PM

That's a really nice 5501. I wouldn't let that go.

Vincent65 · 6 April 2014, 11:48 PM

maybe, but not that one (1675)

Gilt dial and hands -- very hard and expensive to get the right ones in the condition you will be satisfied with. You have 2 honest pieces...don't trade them.

Not making that trade those two give you way more wearing options! And finding a gilt dial and hands that is period still gives you a non original watch

A chapter ring gilt dial with matching hands in 5/10 condition will put you back 4k a mint set close to 8-9k IMHO

Old Expat Beast · 7 April 2014, 12:28 AM

How old is the 5501? Late 60s/early 70s?

sryukon · 7 April 2014, 12:37 AM

The Airking is a 1984 hacking movement im thinking the Airking is worth 2200/2500 and Tudor 2300/2500?

Any thoughts on a value for this GMT in this type condition?

dont think id be doing a trade

CrownMe · 7 April 2014, 04:14 AM

i would pass on that trade if it was me. You would do better just selling both pieces and buying the gmt you want.

I just cant see taking 2 watches that are complete for one gmt that you will have to find parts for. just my 2cents

sryukon · 7 April 2014, 04:50 AM

Yes I think my two watches are worth more and I think I would like the 16750 better just dont know if my two would get me a correct example

Later than I thought, but very nice. Not sure it would reach your estimate with no bracelet though. Here's mine, from 1964.

find a better complete example. the parts are too difficult and expensive to source. m
