In 1967-68 Army PX at RSA, AL. sold Omega Chronographs like the astronauts used for about $200. That was a good deal too.

Another Pepsi GMT Master
Here's the Rolex that I inherited from my brother. I suspect he purchased it over in Germany or Europe during his first deployment to Germany in the late 70's. the bezel is faded and a bit worn from his flight suit rubbing on it.
Any idea how to dertemine the actual Mfg date?

The serial number should be engraved on the side of the case behind where the band attaches. Nice watch, could be worth a bundle.

Superior did a great job on my IWC too, but expensive because they are an authorized IWC shop. If the watch is out of warrantee and just needs service rather than repair, there are many reputable shops out there for much less money.

I feel like I've heard that before... sometime around 2007 and relating to another asset.

I was told the service on my watch will cost $900 plus shipping.

When mine was done I was told $650 if it was only the internals that needed to be worked on. I had a scratched crystal, scratched bezel, and bent winding thing (forget what that parts called). So with new ones of those my service was about $1000. I had the option of replacing those "not perfect" items. If the watch would went to Rolex in NYC they replace everything that isn't perfect.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a watch service center in Dallas?
