Sorry I missed this. I mean that I am genuinely not sure what impact it might have to its value (I know to an older watch it will have a huge impact) and I didn't want to make an uninformed decision...
I've had mine 3 weeks now and have been wearing it nonstop. It is the perfect daily wear, just as I was hoping it would be after doing the usual scouring of reviews etc but I think most people on...
Haven't taken this one off since I got it.

I've had two from new and both are/were around 4 seconds a day out if I remember right, I haven't worn it in a while and honestly I just stopped checking and worrying about it. I remember in a...
I took my 16710 to my local AD to be sent in for a service. A week later they called me to say that RSC wanted to swap the hands, this was "required" work, with the dial effectively an advisory. I...
Thank you!
It is indeed 36mm, it's a 60's vintage. Some good reading about it here:

Cheers, I'm about 6.5, really slim wrists.
Pretty chuffed with this one. Size feels perfect for my wrist and the taper that people have been complaining about doesn't seem like an issue to me.

I just picked mine up. After reading and replying to this thread a few days ago I decided to drop my AD an email if only to let them know I'm still interested since it had been a few months since I...
I'm still waiting with my local AD. They only became a Rolex dealer 4 or 5 years ago so I haven't purchased a Rolex from them before, but I have bought a couple of Tudors and an Omega.
Got a new insert fitted at the St James service centre today so it’s on the wrist. Still have the faded insert where the red has become a nice salmon colour for when I want that back in.

I love a GMT. Something about the complication and it's history is appealing. It helps that the GMT Master is a gorgeous and timeless design. Even before the pandemic I wasn't traveling a huge amount...
Poor man's Heuer this week.

It is, but it is still 12mm and a 36mm diameter. Although it doesn’t wear 12mm thick at all. 2 or 3 of those are the acrylic.
I'm a big fan of the original.

As if this one isn't think enough already I decided to wear it on a nato for a bit...

I think they might be a bit of a lottery. I've seen people say their ETA runs within 1-2 seconds a day, I've owned 2 ETAs and both settled down at about +6 a day (both bought new from an AD). I'm...
That's an interesting take. Scouring the internet for them and looking at wrist shots etc I see it as a watch that suits almost any occasion. It seems to look right at home on pretty much any strap...
Took earlier in the week because I loved how the light was catching the hands. I usually like this one on the nato but I'm really enjoying it on the bracelet this week.

If it's any consolation it happend to me for a couple of years after I bought a GMT2 but here I am asking about another watch. Ultimately the itch comes back.
Yep, that's what I'm thinking and...
Yeah, very true, and to be fair divers etc work at those sizes. I can get away with a 41mm BB ETA, 42mm PO 8500 (just), but obviously something like the Railmaster is all dial and wears so much...
