One of my early favorites in my watch collection was a Rolex GMT Master II, stainless steel, red and black bezel. It sees a lot of wrist time. I liked the set of complications, and could be worn casually or dressed up. That watch introduced me to a series of Rolex watches I later added to my collection, including a Submariner and a Daytona, but my latest is the new model of the GMT-Master II with the ceramic bezel. MSRP was $5950 last year when I picked it up.

The History
Rolex invented the first waterproof watch, named the Oyster in 1926. Every Oyster model is waterproof to 100m/330 feet, the driver models far exceeding this depth. The Oyster case is made from a solid block of 904L stainless steel. The crown uses a system Rolex calls the Triplock winding crown. The crown basically screws into the case when not in use to seal and protect the watch internals. The way the calendar works on a Rolex is that the date instantly adjusts at midnight. This mechanism was introduced to the Oyster Perpetual Datejust in 1945. In 1931, Rolex invented and patented the Perpetual rotor, the first self-winding watch. The 3186 movement developed and manufactured by Rolex and used in the GMT-Master II has earned a COSC certification.

I’ll be straight to the point; one of the main attractions of this watch was the new ceramic bezel. Besides being extremely rugged, It has a way of reflecting light giving it a different look than the past metallic bezel, notice this in the pictures.

In addition to various reasons, no denying many people collect old watches attracted because their investment gains.

Like the other exotic objects, benchmark is the things that are difficult to qualify, such as the value of nostalgia, the beauty of design, taste, and prestige. As a result, the price of an antique watch there are no standards for sure.
