Among Rolex's most popular series, the GMT-Master II is undoubtedly a standout. This series holds many irreplaceable highlights for the brand. For example, it was designed for aviation professionals, featuring a dual time zone function that allows them to keep track of both their current and home time while traveling internationally. This series has evolved continuously since 1955. Looking at the modern GMT-Master II, at least two unique characteristics of Rolex watches can be identified: firstly, it is the only Rolex model to feature a two-tone Cerachrom ceramic bezel; secondly, the GMT-Master II is currently the only Rolex series with a left-hand crown design.

The price of the steel-cased GMT-Master II has indeed increased year by year. Taking 2020 as an example, the series only had two stainless steel models, 126710BLNR-0002 and 126710BLRO-0001, which were priced at "only" NT$320,500. Six years later, the price of the two watches has increased by nearly NT$100,000. This increase corresponds to the evolution of the watch's market value in the secondary market, which has a sense of one side rising and the other falling.
According to data tracked by WatchCharts, a high-end watch market research institution, at the end of August 2025, the overseas prices for the 126710BLNR-0002, 126710BLRO-0001, 126720VTNR-0002, and 126710GRNR-0003 were US$17,002, US$19,472, US$16,918, and US$19,610 respectively. These watches had already been in a phase of continuous price decline in the secondary market for some time. Now, about six months later, how have the prices of these four popular steel GMT-Master II models changed?
The prices of all four steel GMT-Master II models are still above their list price. The highest premium is 74.6% for the Pepsi bezel 126710BLRO-0001, followed by 74.2% for the green-hand grey-black bezel 126710GRNR-0003, and then 47% for the blue-black bezel 126710BLNR-0002. In contrast, the premium for the left-crown green-black bezel 126720VTNR-0002 is "only" 38%, ranking last among the four models. The secondary market for the steel GMT-Master II seems to have shaken off the gloom of the past two years. However, due to Rolex's price increase, the premium of the watches has decreased. For example, the Pepsi bezel has dropped by nearly 10 percentage points. But looking at its secondary market price, it is still quite considerable, showing excellent value retention.
