Please correct me, if I am wrong, but I think the possibility of setting two different times independently (GMT with 24h hand and local Time with 12h hand) as you described in the beginning of the video, was added later with an advanced movement. The first Rolex GMT of 1954 could only show the same time with both hands, but the pilot could read a different, chosen time zone by adjusting the bezel.

I once owned a G M T Master, the first model, with the Raised plexiglass face, left turning bezel it cost me £100,8 shillings from watches of Switzerland in Bond Street ,after being maintained by Rolex, and that is never cheep, I passed it on to my son, after 20 Years,it still kept very good time, as long as it was fully wound,it had the staked hair spring, to adjust the time you would put it in different positions to gain our lose the odd seconds he had it valued then, £4000, I see it has risen in value quiet a bit since then, I wonder if he has it maintained and insured , I should have brought a tray full,and put them in a bank,sum interest .

What I would like to know is it consider a fine watch or is it a cheaply made fashion watch. I know your opinion on fashion watches. At first I consider it a cheap fashion watch, I never saw the Boss brand before. but I saw it on Amazon for $250.00. Again it looks very nice, and i would wear it as a dress watch.

Even though I’ve been extremely happy with my Mark 1 BLNR for the past 3 years I really regret not buying one when they were being sold for $5500-7000. At the time I didn’t want to buy another GMT II instead of a different model altogether. The 16700s (because it doesn’t have quickset hour hand) and 16750s were towards the lower end and both are fantastic references. Even the 1675s were reasonable. I am still on the lookout for a mint condition 16710 or 16750 with papers at a fair price $8500-9000 max regardless if it originally came with a Pepsi or Coke bezel. If I don’t manage to get a brand new 126710 this is what I’ll go for. In the long term these last original GMTs will definitely be very valuable.

I have a Coke 176760 and love it to pieces. I believe it was made in the 2005-2007 range (I bought pre-owned) and it's just about ready for a full service as it's starting to run pretty slow. I love my 16610 as well, but the uniqueness of the GMT-Master II adds something the Sub doesn't have, which makes them a perfect pair. Maybe one day I'll buy a Pepsi to go with it. Great video. The funny thing is I bought the ceramic bezeled version when it first came out and while I liked it, the maxi case didn't work for me, nor did the polished center links. Great watch, but I ended up flipping it and bought the Coke instead. I've been a happy camper ever since. Cheers.
