Of those six, I own one of them and my son another! Our resale values were already holding very well but they will head up more with this announcement. I have the black dial Explorer II (pics in another thread) and he has the “Hulk” Sub which is the very hard to find green dial and ceramic bezel. The Hulk green dial is created by color generation at the Rolex foundry where they blend blue aluminum into yellow gold. We’ve set lofty goals of replacing our watches with other wise choices and giving these more time in the safe.
On a crappy note, the “Batman” GMT Master is also being retired. I would really like to get a GMT and the Batman is pretty cool but will only do it if I can find it at the right price out of state (no sales tax) and shipped overnight. He’s more anxious than I am so I’ll take my time choosing.
For those interested, here are the models: Batman GMT, Polar dial Explorer II, Black dial Explorer II, GMT Oyster Steel, Pepsi GMT, and the Hulk Submariner.
