And to think my mother paid $1000 for it new.

Check out the current value of the '68 GMT

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point

The '68 GMT wouldn't be worth near that much, but it would bring good $$ for it being that old, and more depending on the patina of the dial and markers.

Then I've seen some grossly exaggerated quotes.

The best guy to tell you would be Steve Mulholland. He is on my FB friends list. Just add him and send him a message and he could tell you.

Love the faded one that was posted. The vintage looks awesome. Does it do that because of the hydrogen or do all watches fade to orange/yellow like that?

Control It has a reputation beyond repute

I have one as part of my Rolex collection...and I wore it every day for awhile but I don't have big wrists and it would bother me when I was using my camera, which is often..Gorgeous incredible made and technically amazing watch.

I am thinking of selling mine but I always say that!
