I am the original owner of a 2006 GMT Master II (purchased in 2007).

Everything is in my possession (papers, box, etc). With the value of these watches so high, I'm considering selling it and getting something else (Really into the BLNR right now).

I'm torn though - part of me wants to keep the watch but I also want something "newer" or.. different.

Just curious what other people would do, thanks!

Dan Pierce · 14 April 2017, 04:31 AM

Not no, but hell no.

It's just a watch. If you need to flip to comfortably afford something else, why not? You've enjoyed it for 10 years. Time to move on and let someone else enjoy it.

.......And be prepared for the new "5 digit fan club" to chime in a bunch on this one. ;-)

Etschell · 14 April 2017, 04:36 AM

value will only go up. i would sell it though if you dont want it.

Cannot help with the decision but this is a false equivalency.

Your current watch may be worth more than you paid but a replacement will cost even more in today's dollars.

In the end you will have spent new money to end up with just one watch.

As far as your decision, not sure why you would part with a classic watch only to replace it with a newer version of the same thing?

The Libertine · 14 April 2017, 04:39 AM

No. Once the "newness" wears off, you'll speedily come to regret your decision.

Lrlx · 14 April 2017, 04:39 AM

I guess you dont love pepsi :)

Thuilln · 14 April 2017, 04:39 AM

Do it and regret it tomorrow.

HL65 · 14 April 2017, 04:41 AM

Pretty much. As much as I love the BLNR (my favorite modern 6 digit stainless), I wouldn't replace a 16710 that you've had since new.

hahah this one made me laugh.

cylchris · 14 April 2017, 04:48 AM

Believe me, u will come to regret if u sell it. I sold mine to trade SS daytona. And I still miss it so much.

ilovepepsi · 14 April 2017, 04:49 AM

I guess I'll send it out for service. I haven't worn it in months, the rotor is noisy and I'm afraid I'll damage the movement if I continue to wear it.

I'm somewhat worried about having it serviced though..

Good plan. It'll come back as good as new. I think you definitely have a "keeper".

I'm new here - not sure who Vanessa is?

I was just about to start searching to see where I can send my watch for a service.

I'm close to NYC and do have a few friends who own shops on 47th - but I'm even hesitant to leave the watch there. Call me paranoid I guess :(

Le Chef · 14 April 2017, 05:15 AM

Verboten! NO! NO! NO!

You own a classic - I very much regret selling mine to buy a GMTIIC.

jaySL350 · 14 April 2017, 05:19 AM

no,no,no,,i owned a blnr and you may be suprised how short you love affair will last?...
mine has gone and i dont miss her,,,,,jay

uncleluck · 14 April 2017, 05:30 AM

Best thing you could do is send it on a holiday, like a trial separation. I know someone who would look after it for you too... hehe

Benjamin Choi · 14 April 2017, 05:32 AM

Heck no for a pedestrian blnr. Heck Yes if gold Pepsi.

fishingbear · 14 April 2017, 05:54 AM

Don't do it. I traded my first GMT once regretted it until I got another one. Everyone is different but in my opinion there should be one of those in every collection.

ilovepepsi · 14 April 2017, 06:04 AM

Plot twist: What watch would you get rid of a pepsi for?

I also have someone who will trade my pepsi for a BLNR with VERY little out of pocket on my end..

This was also my first rolex - it's sentimental I suppose?

I wouldn't sell that watch. You'll regret it later down the line.

Save up for the next one.
