It was on a stainless and gold band back then.

Wanna make your money back?

So rarely does gold-on-black work for me.
Wow, that is outstanding. Simply wonderful.

Well done!

[Alan From New York]

I miss it terribly.

That's the best version of that watch I've ever seen. Very nice.

That's the best version of that watch I've ever seen. Very nice.

I had gone to get an EXP II and wound up with the GMT II. No regrets, except for selling it.

Now THAT's what a Rolex should look like. It's almost as if it doesn't matter whether the case is gold or steel.
I just love those nipple dials, though I don't think I've ever noticed the black before.

Thanks Guys !

[FuzzyB]

That does look good. Do you still have it?

I had an interesting meeting yesterday with a guy who was probably right around 30 and was wearing the new version of that watch. It was large, flashy, and nowhere as nice looking as yours.

I sold it on TZ's Sales Corner for over 4K three years ago. It's hard to
not to make money on a Rolex that you've owned for over 30 years.

I know you didn't ask but NO, I don't miss it.
