I also checked out what it would cost to replace..wow!! I doubt I could afford to replace...haven't seen a GMT II for anywhere close to what I paid then, they are way higher now...I'm glad I made the investment then...

Again, appreiciate all the advice...

Well when you think its just about $9 a week over 5 years, expect the service on say a car would cost a lot more over the same period of time.And if properly serviced a Rolex could last a life time and beyond. Would doubt the same could be said for any other piece of mechanical machinery today.
