GMT Coke as second Rolex
Hello all,

I need your advice. I am having Daytona Panda 116523, and I was thinking of adding one more Rolex for some out-of-office activities (mainly on board heavy lift vessels).

While I am focusing on the Sub Ceramic LV, a friend of mine asks me whether I would take his GMT Coke year 2000 - 2002 no bp for less than USD 4500. Should I take this offer? The bezel is still as good as I the photo.

The GMT is such a versatile reference. That would be my choice.

Not when it's one of the few years the 16710 came with lug holes & SELs. The best combo, IMHO. And prices have reflected that.
