GMT Master II in steel realistic worth

[Wills2]

I sent my GMT away to Rolex for some repairs (new case/bezel and glass) plus service, It's due back within the next 2 weeks and I feel like a change, I have the box and papers etc...What do you think I could expect on a trade in/private sale?

Sure I'll post up some pics when they eventually send it back its been 14 weeks...so 2 weeks to go based upon their stated 16 week turn around.

The 2004 version IIRC is the pre update version. I sold one of these in 2005 on e-bay and got £2.4K for it. It was 3 years old at the time but was in first class condition. I would say between £1800-2200 would be a resonable price. If however it is the updated version then £3K+ is doable.

When you say pre update version, could you elaborate? I.e what's the difference?

I haven't the faintest what he's on about either. Mine, an Explorer II is a 2003, which has lug holes. The 2004 (and all subsequent Rollies) don't. Are there any other differences? As for ones with 'oles being worth less than no 'oles, I don't know about that. I'd say buy on condition - an original one with a bit of WABI would be worth more to me than one that's been polished to buggery.

Edited so my post makes some sense!

No doubt that's true, but the list price must have increased, what £1000 since 2005?

according to Blowers jewellery its £4460...
