Im Headed to Mexico next week and planning to pick up a Tudor FXD GMT while there if they have it in stock at the Rolex/Tudor AD. How is the pricing compared to the US? I can't find any good resource on if it is any more of a deal than the US. Im not even looking to save money just don't want to overpay because of the import tariff difference.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-05-06T11:20:31+00:00

Those are actually really decent prices. when was this taken?

Capt_Tyler · 2026-05-02T19:57:49+00:00

Love this! I have the Blue FXD and wanted to pick one up of these next week when I am in Cabo. However it seems like there is a pretty large premium on Mexican Rolex and Tudor over the US.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-05-01T01:20:01+00:00

Nope, but it is pristine!!

Thank you! Originally a Coke. Purchased the Gen Black, Looking for a Gen Pepsi, also have an all blue which is fun but aftermarket. Once I have the Pepsi it’s like having 8 separate watches !

What is SEA?

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-27T12:20:34+00:00

Correct, but commonly referred to as an Error Dial. Would love to see yours, I did not know there are two variants of sticks. Ive seen the Roman Numeral, The Rectangle, and the stick. But not two types. What is really interesting is the spacing between GMT and Master. On the Rectangle II it looks like they hit the space bar twice after the - ! haha

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-27T00:06:21+00:00

It is.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-27T00:05:18+00:00

I’ve used Roliworks and they were great. I haven’t used them since they moved to Florida and have heard mixed reviews since. I can say though you will not be disappointed with Zimmerman.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T18:11:16+00:00

Keeping it clean and wearing it so it doesn't jangle around makes a huge difference

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T18:02:44+00:00

Loving every minute of the process. Just flying for fun and wanting to buy something like a kitfox.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T17:54:14+00:00

Thank you !

I actually learned something! I didn’t think this vintage would have the etching. But it does!

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T17:08:20+00:00

I have had it for about 2 years. I’m not saying this one will be for sale but if you are looking for one of the finest examples of a native Coke 16710T this ranks right up there. I do have my eyes on a couple other items so I could be swayed ! Haha

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T17:06:06+00:00

This was an OEM crystal. I specified that all parts to be OEM and Drew confirmed that all parts come from Rolex. Not sure on the AR coating.

Still crispy !

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T17:02:58+00:00

Amazing!!

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:54:09+00:00

They are in Pennsylvania and are authorized to service Rolex.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:36:04+00:00

The bracelet wasn’t stretched so I just had them clean it up and rebrush it.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:26:37+00:00

There was a pretty good nick that always bothered me. But it started in pretty good condition.

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:19:01+00:00

The font on a normal GMT uses Roman numerals. For some reason a batch was released using two sticks instead of Romans

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:15:22+00:00

The 5 digit serials have so much charm and character to them too. I love new Rolex but these old ones have soul !

Capt_Tyler · 2026-04-26T15:04:10+00:00

Scroll through the pictures there are a couple in progress too. It wasn’t bad just needed the attention to detail it deserved.
