Hi Paul, I recently sold to Bob's watches my old root beer nipple dialed GMT. Very easy and pleasant transaction. Just didn't wear it much. I do wear however almost daily my red Submariner which I bought new in Zurich Switzerland in 1970 for $175. I have been an avid diver, both SCUBA and free for much of my 72 years, and this watch has been in virtually every ocean in the world. I am its only owner and wearer and still retain its bill of sale, "wallet", original box, anchor, hang tag, and original bracelet, etc. It still also retains its original dial, hands and bezel, all with a marvelous patina of use. In spite of its collector value, this watch has become virtually part of my DNA, as it is very reliable, still waterproof, and admirably doing its job. Perhaps one of those very few things in life where there was never any disappointments. Rolex builds good stuff!
