Post some pictures guys,

I will post a picture when my GMT2 Rolex arrives. I just bought a GMT2 2006 16710 model which has the Black/Red bezel which is nicknamed coke by the rolexguys. It's a 2006 model D-Serial last of the breed with the stick dial. One of my dream watches that I didnt buy when it was available new. The collection of mine also includes a Rolex Daytona SS with a Black Dial "Rolex movement 116520" not the Zenith El Primero movement and a Breguet Marine Big Date.

I'll post a picture of the trio when my GMT arrives in 2 days time.

My daily watch is a submariner 14060 (almost 5 years old):

I've got a bi-metal 16233 datejust as well (for dress) - around 20 years old (same as this, but borrowed picture):

Other than my wedding ring, they're the only jewelry I own.

Oh - and they're both worth more than I paid for them Thumbs Up Last time I had the 16233 valued (when it was last serviced) the dealer offered me £1800 more than I paid for it Whistle Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

They say annually! but I just had mine done at a cost of £700 but that did include a new bracelet, glass and re bushing of the pins - the actual service part I believe was around £300.

Mines a 1970's Explorer 2 (Steve McQueen edition) which I'm lead to believe is quite rare Thumbs Up

I was offered £10k cash for it in Bond Street Arcade when I was trying to get an insurance valuation for it (that was before the refurb) - turns out its worth nearer £18k Shocked so I'm trying not to loose it. Not quite sure why its worth this much which is a lot more than a new one, obviously the Rolex guys know why.
