Not quite true Swiss only dials ran from 1998 into 2000 possible longer in production runs and no 100% cut off period.

1998-2000 = 2 years. ...what Peter said^. :)

$6,500 for a 16610, I couldn't understand why there was talk of haggling......until I realised this is resurrected from 2019........ As said Swiss only dials were from 1997/8 to 2000, usually later U and A Serial numbers. I've had my U Serial GMT ll since 2005 and it's followed the general price of 16710's, no more no less. Swiss only dials are not rare and I think if they were to have attracted a premium, it would have been in the current crazy Rolex frenzy but that's not the case.

Thanks for that Paddy,,,,,
I recently had the chance to purchase a 1999 A serial ,full set,,.
Serviced in 2016 at RSC and it was an offer from a good friends
Family member ,,
,I was thinking of a five digit to go with my 6 digit but was stunned when he asked £10k ,,
trying to justify it but saying it’s a Swiss only dial and produced with that dial for a very short time,,
I said thanks but no thanks and good luck,,,
See A and U series on C24 for £12+ and about the same or more if from the EU etc once Vat and import duty kicks in,,,
Why the huge premiums? or is it just relying on peoples ignorance?,,,,,
