Although new to this forum, I'm not new to Rolex.
My first Rolex is a two tone date just bough 30 years ago. At that time I also bought a two tone with diamonds on the face for my now ex-wife. Later a submariner stainless all black no date for my son.
I now wear a GMT Master II which I bought in 2003 , stainless Pepsi dial.

Never regretted any of these purchases, I'm a daily wearer of my GMT II and prior to that, I wore my date just for over 20 years.

I do have one question though, it may be dumb, but here goes.
Why are some of the GMT's worth more? Can't you just switch out the bezel for the color that you like?

Happy to be hear, John

Welcome to the forum John, I’m just down the road from you near Waterloo

Modern GMT inserts are ceramic and cannot be swapped like the old aluminum inserts.
