    Which one to sell…? *Pictures*

    Brethren of TZ.
    I wish to appeal to your collective ’Wis’-dom.
    We have a medium substantial non watch outlay coming up and need to move a watch to fund.
    The potential victims are a 1970 GMT 1675 and a 2002 two line Sub.
    Neither have box or paperwork but both were Bexley serviced in 2018. Service boxes, associated paperwork and warranty cards included.

    I know that prices have softened a little but genuinely have no idea where to price these. I want to be reasonable but don’t want to ask £10k if it’s only worth £8 and obviously don’t want to ask £8 if it’s worth £10.

    If I could keep one it would be the GMT but I’m also realistic that it may need to go.

    I know there’s a few of you who know what you’re talking about and hoped you could give me some advice.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    The 1675 especially will be down to it's originality and condition
    Will vary a lot so you would have to post a couple of pics

    Faded inserts are not difficult to get hold of if wanted, although not cheap.

    I still have the original faded coke insert for my 16710 but much prefer the new one I bought a few years ago.

    BYW, I agree it’s a lovely watch and, whilst I’m no expert, would think that it would probably fetch £12k+

    I'd keep the 14060, other than a little honest wear and tear it looks to be in great condition.

    I'd keep the GMT, the older models always seem to me more refined.

    For me too. I think Subs sell better too, due to the larger frame/crown
