I came across this Rootbeer GMT, low price, probably needs some servicing, but $3250 may not be all that bad, the downer for me is the jubilee band.

Rob, that looks VERY good. I would jump on it at that price, and you can always swap out the jubilee for an oyster at some later date. That is the "nipple" dial - very desirable.

I have a 1995-era Rootbeer, and paid about $4,400 for it.

Was that a photo of your Rootbeer?

Also, excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean "nipple" deal?

Wow it is gone

Here is another on ebay...

Yes, that is a photo of mine. My best illustration of the difference between the two dial styles will be these two photos:

Earlier "nipple" dial (not my photo)...

Later, more open hour markers (my GMT)...

Cheers...

Thanks

The last 2 Rolexes, the Rootbeer and a GMT Coke that I posted here were bought by the same ebay buyer, time115

I wonder if he is on here and saw the posts, I really don't care if he snagged them, I am just curious

You're welcome. Don't know about the buyer (could be a member here - who knows), but just to let you know that another great deal will come along on eBay sometime. I purchased ALL of my Rollies on eBay, and have been most satisfied!

I just came across this no date sub...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ROLEX-SUBMARINER...QQcmdZViewItem

Any thoughts?

I emailed asking about the bracelt comment on the bottom of the receipt

Rolex74 · 5 June 2008, 02:40 PM

Another Rootbeer just more $$

1) Why does he advertise it (at least, in one place he does) as an "M"?

2) There is no Rolex in Chicago. He means an AD, right?

I am sure it is not the RSC but probably an authorized AD? I was thinking of offering $3000 to see, but I am waiting for him to email me back on my questions

hi prince... nice two tone GMT you've got...

i believe yrs is a 16713 (from the 16710 series, early 1990's)...

whereas the GMT in the ebay auction is a 16753 (from the 16750 series, 1980's)....
