A pre-owned Rolex GMT-Master or GMT-Master II offers exceptional choice and value. The secondary market gives you access to discontinued bezels and configurations - ideal if you’re after a used vintage Rolex GMT-Master or a sought-after second-hand Rolex GMT such as Pepsi, Batman, Batgirl, or Root Beer. You can compare bracelets, dials, and materials to find the exact combination that suits your wrist and lifestyle.
Condition & age: Overall wear, polishing, and component age influence Rolex GMT-Master prices.
Originality: Period-correct dials and bezels (aluminium vs ceramic) can affect desirability.
Box & papers: Original accessories typically add value.
Bracelet & material: Oyster or Jubilee; Oystersteel, two-tone, or precious metal—each carries different demand.
Nicknames & colours: Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi, Rolex GMT-Master II Batman/Batgirl, and Root Beer are popular with UK buyers.
Service history: Recent professional servicing can support long-term ownership.
Market dynamics: UK and global demand can move second-hand Rolex GMT values over time.
There are countless configurations across Rolex GMT-Master and GMT-Master II watches. As you decide, here are key features to consider:
Cases: Robust Oyster case, water-resistant to 100 metres.
Dials: Black is most common; vintage and special models include white, brown, champagne, and meteorite.
Movement: Calibres over time include 1575 and 3075 (GMT-Master), 3185/3186, and the modern 3285 (GMT-Master II).
Bracelets: Oyster or Jubilee bracelets in Oystersteel, yellow gold, white gold, Everose, and two-tone styles.
Materials: Oystersteel, yellow gold, white gold, Everose gold, and two-tone options.
Bezels: Ranging from classic black to Pepsi (red/blue), Batman (blue/black), and Root Beer (brown/gold), with aluminium or modern ceramic inserts; select gem-set references also exist.
Sizes: Early references were 38mm; most GMT-Master and GMT-Master II models measure 40mm.
Remember: the GMT-Master II’s independently adjustable 24-hour hand, combined with the rotating bezel, allows you to track a third time zone when required.
In 1955, Rolex partnered with Pan American Airways to create the first Oyster Perpetual GMT‑Master. Designed for pilots, it combined a dedicated 24‑hour hand with a bidirectional bezel marked to 24 hours so travellers could view local and home time at a glance.
The GMT‑Master soon became a favourite among frequent flyers and collectors. Iconic bezels include the blue‑and‑red Rolex GMT‑Master Pepsi and the brown‑and‑gold Root Beer, found across steel, two‑tone and gold references on both Oyster and Jubilee bracelets.
Introduced in the 1980s, the GMT‑Master II allows the 24‑hour hand to be set independently; together with the rotating bezel it can track a third time zone when needed.
BQ Watches curates classic timepieces for men and women, including a wide choice of Rolex GMT‑Master and GMT‑Master II variations. If you’d like tailored suggestions, our team can recommend pieces that match your wrist size, style and budget.
For smaller wrists or a dress‑leaning look, consider a Jubilee bracelet and darker dials; for sportier wear, an Oyster bracelet and high‑contrast bezels such as Rolex GMT‑Master II Batman can feel more robust. From a used Rolex GMT‑Master Pepsi to a Root Beer configuration, we’ll help you choose a second‑hand Rolex GMT that suits your preferences.
