Initially listed (at an unnamed dealer) at the same exact price...to the dollar (pre-owned). Now within striking distance of each other. Value is subjective, without a doubt, but I still sometimes scratch my head in confusion over this hobby...

That GMT is the solid white gold version

So it already comes at a premium. BTW, I prefer that blue dial to the standard black one on the SS version. If Rolex gave the Blue dial to the new SS GMT I would've definitely bought one.

Understood regarding white gold...definitely a stiff premium over SS.

Still a difficult price point for me in light of what else those dollars could buy.

Does make me wonder too sometimes.

I’m blessed to own the GMT but it lies very much in the shadows and cannot be compared with the Lange - it’s a funny old game this hobby of ours

Same here, John, very same here. Even more when you compare some vintage to moderns...

For example, you could get a Lemania 15 TL military or a Heuer Bund for the price of a Rolex Date Just. Best, Nicolas

The value of vintage over modern cannot be denied.

You of all people definitely carry the banner of that view

I am just surprised that more people don't get a wider view on that. Horology is not only Rolex, Patek or AP... [nt]
