Should I recycle my old GMT?

Now that these things are no longer produced, are they still necessary?

Should I just toss it, crush it, or should I recycle it?

What a terrible thing to say. I have the black/black version of this GMT and I love it. You'd be a fool to do anything other than wear it!

Don't toss it... It's a collector's piece now - keep it in good health...

well, since i bought a black on black "old" gmt ii in may, its new to me, and i love it, and i wouldnt trade it or change it or flip it for anything else ... this one is a keeper, whether or not it becomes a "collector" piece, or whatever, its a piece of rolex history.

I'll be in Vegas in the afternoon tomorrow. I will stop by around 2pm for pick up.
See you then.
Can you have it ready to go?
Can't stay in town too long.


Thanks

Count me in as well, several non-stops - I can be there this afternoon

This would be a case of "whatever happens in Vegas, would not stay in Vegas"

Think of the environmental hazard of keeping it!

I'll dispose of it safely for you. Don't worry

I say, get your camera out, grab a sledge hammer.
Take pictures as you delicately dismantle it with a few sharp blows.
Post the pictures here & listen as a bunch of people start choking.

Did anyone notice the big bulge in Larry's cheek (the spot where his tongue is firmly planted)?
