I have a GMT Master II Coke that I purchased an 1989 for approximately 20 for $2,500 I have spent that much maybe even a little bit more in the past 30 some years that I've owned it I wear it everyday he go swimming kayaking canoeing cutting the grass drinking beers with my buddies that has been a constant companion on my wrist and I will never get rid of it! Cheers to a great review and I'm so happy to see a Coke GMT! Sincere thanks Ron!
Awesome!!! People can do whatever they want with their watch hobby but I think your story is awesome. I bought a Porsche 911 many years ago and have just cared for it and enjoyed it like you and your Rolex. Now, it is a classic, doubled in value, and people ask me why I knew one... You and I know why, nothing like a longtime companion!
I bought my two sons a Coke GMT in 1996 and 2000 respectively, when they were born. The former my eldest son has, as he’s reached 21. The latter is still stickered and has never been worn as my youngest isn’t 21 yet.
Of these two, the coke (if only for collecting purposes). I do not like the jubilee on a GMT. Personally, I own the Batman on oyster (which I think is the best GMT ever).
@@Chris-es3wf XD Imagine Tim going: "this gmt example, originally the blue and red version, has had the bezel expertly removed by the original owner; to further the value of the piece they also used, as far as we were able to ascertain, a 6d rusty nail to etch the case back. We cannot show you what the engraving looks like at the present moment, due to it's.. explicit nature, but rest assured, the gentleman was very knowledgeable in the art of profanity and had a vivid, colorful imagination. Head on to our website for more pictures and details, and we would urge you to hurry, at under 500k this bold and hand engraved gmt rolex is a steal right now"
This is a bit of an odd vs. Because these two watches despite both being GMTs appeal to very different people. Those who prefer vintage over new or those looking for a long term investment, will go with this vintage Coke. While those who want the latest and greatest, and this new GMT is vastly superior in every way to its vintage counterpart! Would obviously go for the new Batman here. Or if you have the funds and are a collector...both! Personally I’d go for the Batman, it’s a much higher quality watch in general and that’s what counts to me, not financial investment or vintage nostalgia. I simply prefer the better watch! And 10, 20+ years down the line it’ll still be functioning too and become vintage by then anyway.
@@jordan8282 it’s still very wrong. The Batgirl is still 70% above its retail price and prices are beginning to flatten. As the market recovers this will go even higher

This REALLY makes me want to see a ceramic “Coke” soon! 🖤❤️
Justin Hill that would be very nice!
Rolex GMT Coke for me. The case proportions are perfect.

I’d take both if price was no object but I prefer the Coke.
"Shop this Pepsi" link, in the description, only shows Batmen. Ummm, OK.
Why doesn’t Rolex use any AR coating on the crystal?
More shiny and flashy so it can be more easily distinguished as a "Rolex" for Joes who want people to know.

Agree Oyster bracelet better for a sports model & I much prefer Oyster on the Batman.
I have a 16760, but it has a service dial. What does that do to the value/collectivity of the watch?
Lowers the resale value if service
Batman for me...
Coke is for me!!
Batman for me please💙🖤
‘The Bruce Wayne’ yes Tim!! 💯
I’ll take the Sophia Loren over the Batgirl all day long. If the Bruce Wayne (Oyster BLNR) was here, then the decision might be a little tougher.
Chi-Town California hmmm, my parents knew Sophia Loren.
What year did exactly The Coca Cola Rolex was released?
1983
The bracelet on the coke sounds like trash
Can't choose
Sir, its Batgirl!!!! Batman is discontinued Sir!!
Super is the word!
Buy 'em while you can, that Brando auction is gonna send them through the roof.
Forget coke/pepsi/batman color schemes. 'No-bezel' Brando GMTs are going to be the new style haha

This video was pointless your comparing apples and oranges , a old coke vs a new batgirl .
How wrong was you , Batman would devalue closer or below Msrp 😂.
Not very haha
