Private or dealer? Warranty? Recent Rolex service?
Around 3.5 would be nice, 4k more likely. Few bargains to be had on stainless Rolex, buy the best one you can afford!
Hi Yeti, would you be Lewis from Seloc? Its from a small independent dealer. It will have a warranty and be cleaned/polished up. I am waiting to find out when it was last serviced. I am hoping for under £4k.Around 3.5 would be nice, 4k more likely. Few bargains to be had on stainless Rolex, buy the best one you can afford!

Be careful with the polishing. Lots of people won't touch an over polished Rolex if ever you come to sell. I'm absolutely abhor the kind of polishing that the RSC get up to.Riff Raff said:

Ten year old watch - this will probably be it';s forst going over - should be fine.I have a 1974 Sea-Dweller that has been to RCS 4 times... It's getting pretty thin and will never be touched again!!

On TZ sales corner there was a beautiful coke 2005 GMT went for 3.5k this week you could have just swapped the bezel inserts..
Or keep it because it's a much nicer bezel 
Good luck OP... No need to stray outside the '3s' in my opinion unless you get something close to NOS at a dealer!
Tried on a pepsi GMT from a dealer in Glasgow on Sunday. £4,250, box & papers, and I suspect there was wiggle room - not much, but she said they'd try to match a better price from elsewhere.
I was a bit underwhelmed by it.
Tried also tried on a Longines Master Collection moon phase - that made a bigger impression on me tbh!

Afternoon chaps!
OK I have seen the watch.
All paperwork serial numbers are in order. The watch looks lovely (it has been worn and not a safe queen)all original links etc. The strap looks like new - a few scratches on the clasp. The bad points: the red insert is faded - I quite like that though, they have said they will get me a new one if I want. The side opposite the winder has a few scuff marks and scratches. The chap is confident they will come out when he gives it a clean. I wanted to see it as they took it in. There is no history as such from servicing point of view but judging by the ‘worn’ nature of the watch I would think it hasn’t ever been looked at. Rightly or wrongly I am of the belief that you don’t open a watch and play around with it unless it needs it.
As long as it cleans up as new I have agreed a price of £3,400
My next question - where can I get a Jubilee bracelet from for sensible money? As its a 2004 model I would like to have the older style bracelet however I do love the super jubilee. Can anyone help me out here? DomH?
Cheers,
Simon.

3400 is a nice price... I'd also be tempted not to have them polish it up; at some point it will be due a service (£430 at an RSC), may as well get it done at that point rather than now and then again!
If they'll source you a new bezel, can you also keep the one on it now? If so - no brainer, take it!
Good deal all round I'd say.

Yes I am happy with that number. I will let them polish it to remove the marks just for my OCDness and its in with the deal. I have asked for a new bezel/insert but keeping the old one on there, again part of the £3400 deal. Cheers for your advice Lewis, I am a happy chappy!If they'll source you a new bezel, can you also keep the one on it now? If so - no brainer, take it!

They way GMT prices are going, that, sir, is a steal. Be very pleased with it 
i'd leave the jubilee alone personally, have seen a couple and think they suit other watches in the range a lot better than a GMT.
