On the subject of Rolex steel sports watches (and speaking from the perspective of an owner of one), I'm increasingly of the thinking that buying a "super-clone" of a Sub/GMT is fair game, if you want the look but don't want to pay 200% of the RRP.
I would buy a GMT today if I could walk into an AD, pay the (entirely theoretical these days) RRP and walk out again with the watch.
But (and bear in mind I paid ~£1,000 overs for my Submariner) I'm buggered if I'm paying ~£7,000 overs for a GMT. A "super-clone" is ~£1,000, so roughly twice the price of a Steinhart, and tbh that's looking pretty attractive to me these days.
