SydR Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 If you want it at cost you need to find an AD willing to put you on a waiting list then wait a few months, or years, for it.ADs get allocated a number by Rolex rather than order what they want / need.

alligoat Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 If you're looking for a 116610ln, $10K is about what they're running- I saw one on Chrono24 for $9850. Obviously it's a popular watch and demanding a high price. But all Rolex prices have gone up in the last few years. You can pick up used 16610s for around $7000.

automatico Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Bought a new 16610 in August 1994 for $2065. Easy to get back then. Flipped it. Bought a new GMT II 16760 in 1988 for $1465 and a white dial Ex II around the same time for about the same price. Sold the GMT in 1994, never wore it. Traded the Ex II away. Many of the watch traders I knew back then had a box of new or like new rlx watches for sale. It was a lot easier to sell/trade watches back then...no internet educated 'idiot experts' to deal with. Many of them today can recite every technical detail about the watch but can not figure out how to unscrew the crown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
