Rolex 16710 Values-Crazy?

[shoppy]

I love mine and it will be one watch that will never leave my collection, been on many a deployment and exercises. Still keeping brilliant time and has not missed a beat.
I have all three bezals and a jubilee for it. I prefer it to my modern 6 digit variant.

I bought mine almost two years ago and the price has gone up buy 1.5% since then ... this is not going to drop, I agree with most.
it is one of the best, most versatile 5 digit Rolex has.

1.5%? Sounds like you didn’t buy it very well then. I bought a mint late-serial 16710 in early 2016 and its current market value is about 70% more than what I paid for it. 1.5% is not even keeping up with inflation over the last two years.

I paid about 7500 for mine. With box and papers. Wouldn’t said it’s cheap but don’t see it getting cheaper either.

F serial .

I'm not a collector. I just wear what I like. That's an Omega Speedmaster and my 16710 BLRO.

Could you explain this in more detail please? Are you just saying the later serials are trading at higher premium. I watch the market a bit as I have a 16710 M serial as well but never noticed this or read about any difference until you stated.

Is there more to your statement that I am missing? What seems to be the approximate price gap between the serials. I thought all the M serials pepsis were around 25k.

Where can you get the other bezel colors?

They made hundreds of thousands of 16710’s. They aren’t rare. PT Barnum was right.

Nobody said they were rare...
They may have made thousands of 16710 but its been discontinued for a minute so hence why it is more sought after nowadays. Not to mention that the newer model is WG so $$$ and ceramic so not the same either... you cant be a watch that can have 3 different bezel and two if not 3 bracelets - so many combinations

First time I’m hearing this as well. What number is your 3186? Mx?

Try ringing your RSC.
London RSC will change any insert you want for £56 and you get to keep your existing insert

1.) The watch is discontinued
2.) The versatility of having 3 different looks with a simple bezel change is unmatched in today's modern watches
3.) The classic shape and size (when compared to the 6 digits), coupled with the more robust SEL bracelet (when compared to the 4 digits), makes it a "best of both worlds" model

Now, maybe prices won't increase as they have in the past, but at the very least, prices will remain steady and not decrease. Even the release of a "nearly identical" watch (the new BLRO) has done nothing to stop the prices on the 16710.

What he said

[harvey]

I think the price for the 5 digit will increase for the fact people will want the 6 digit and the 5 digit...imho.

Price of the five digit 16710 will hit 13K in a couple of years. The watch is out of production and is so desirable that buyers are willing to pay same as a Gray Batman.

Serials them serves are not sought after.

Pristine condition watches are sought after.

As mentioned, some seek 3186 movements - which may be in some M serials.

Some seek “stick” dials - I.e. the Roman numeral ll with non serif fonts on the dial. These are less identifiable with serials.

How about this?
Buy the GMT you want to wear on your wrist?
