Is this the “best” era of Rolex.
I can't tell for sure but that appears to be a sharp looking GMT-Master ref. 16700 which had its run from 1988-1999 aka "neo-vintage" era. Modern Rolex is truly hard to beat in terms of wearability and durability, and while values for Zenith Daytonas of that neo-vintage era are steadily rising, lots of collectors and enthusiasts see the 4-digit Daytonas as grails and of course the ceramic bezel Daytona era (2016-present) too.
I'm not sure I agree that neo-vintage was the "grail" or "best" era across the entire Rolex lineup but one can certainly argue there were some grails from that timeframe like the ref. 16610LV Submariner "Kermit" 😍 but I'd also argue the early aluminum bezel "Pepsi" and "Coke" GMT Master II's 😍 (ref. 16760 and ref. 16710) which overlapped production for a few years with the GMT Master are grails as well. Not to mention certain late 80s / early 90s "Stella" dial Day-Dates. 🤌
Aim higher.

I have to agree 100%. I am a massive fan of the Kermit, as well, especially if there is subtle fading on the green. For me it's all a consideration from the design perspective; it seems like these neo-vintage watches make more sense on the wrist vs. newer models.

Ref 16700 indeed 😉
This is the era of Rolex GMT that I’d love to have. I think it’s also really neat that you can buy the coke and Pepsi inserts, and change them relatively easiky whenever you want to change up the look of the watch!

Dude I totally agree. Customizing the watch is lowkey trick. Here’s the thing, originally it wasn’t made to be “customized” like that. Like you couldn’t just hop on eBay to get a new bezel … but now you can… I just ordered a pink one 😂
Aim higher.
For example?! 😊
