New member with vintage GMT

Hello to the forum...
In 1977 while stationed in Germany with the USAF I purchased a new Rolex GMT Master.
I wore the watch daily for the next 20 years. It has been sitting in a drawer for the past 21 years and now I'm thinking of selling.
I purchased the watch new. It is all original and had it serviced once (no polishing) in 1984.
I was hoping to get some insight as I've seen values for GMT 1675 Pepsi from $10k to $20k.
Thanks in advance.
Ken

Very nice piece... tough with these pics but the way it works here is that we will evaluate your piece's pluses and minuses and don't give valuations. One place to check is https://www.watchrecon.com/?query=1675+gmt

Another way to know, check your PMs!

Hard to say much without larger photos. It looks to be in great shape though.

Do you have any papers, boxes or accessories to go with it?

Sorry, no papers, boxes or accessories.

***Correction to original post. The watch was serviced around 1985 and I stated it wasn't polished. Actually, I'm not sure if it was or wasn't. kb

Its interesting that with daily wear for 20 years, the bezel insert failed to fade over time. But the dial lume has took on a lovely patina.

I wish you the best in the sales of the 1675!

Thanks.
Bezel has retained colors well...probably because it was rarely exposed to sunlight as a pilot I only wore flight suits, gloves and jackets.
Cheers
