Deepsea Red 126600

I can get the 50th anniversary Deep Sea Red 126600 at a decent price around 11k USD. Do you guys think this a good investment piece?

Thoughts?

That's a Sea-Dweller. The Deep Sea has a Ring Lock System.

Sorry my typo I'm so used to writing seadweller and deep sea together. I'm just not sure of the overall desire and availability of this watch?

Seems to be a hot piece right now but the novelty might wear off once the supplies keep up with demand. Unless, of course, supplies remain limited and the watch ends up like another Daytona or D-Blue (in some parts of the world).

I don't think it's a good investment piece but if you like it and want to buy it for enjoyment, then go for it.

Great watch but think the dimensions will stop it from bringing investment as a limited amount of people can wear it.

"Overall desire and availability "
Do you desire the watch?
It's available to you.

Unless the manufacturer does something wild like discontinue the red writing on dial next year, I don't see values appreciating immediately and with any great upside.

+1

Availability is increasing, grey premiums are dropping - not an investment at MSRP
