Well I owned a GMT Master II and loved it. I'll never forget what a friend, another watch aficionado once remarked to me when he saw I was wearing one, "Class for the mass", he said... Mainly because for a chronograph they didn't measure up to Breitling , his favorite...Mine had no display back and was only rated to 200 meters for water resistance and had terrible lume. Gave it to my son after having it serviced (and re-lumed). One of the few watches that actually appreciates over time. I think I picked it up for $4 grand back in '90. The guy that serviced it said this model was now going between $6 & 8 grand... used... sorry to blather on but I did love that watch and this one brought back some nice memories... No, I wouldn't be ashamed to wear this GMT diver. Looks solid and I like the variations availible. Maybe... we'll see.

wlhughesI couldn't resist calculating the effect of inflation on that. US$4k in 1990 is worth US$7.7k in 2018. So it might have appreciated... if you're lucky.

boozedWell it's like they say, you can ask or say anything is worth something but you never really know what yours is worth until you sell it. Hey it beats a car over the same time period.... I think ;-)

boozedwhat other used asset other than Real Estate appreciates over time even at the rate of inflation that's pretty darn good.
