Pro Hunter sounds like a PVD/DLC after market mod such as bamford etc.

If I remember correctly prohunter makes unauthorized modifications to Rolex watches that will void the warranty and you won't be able to service it a Rolex. If Rolex does service it they will restore it back to factory original undoing the prohunter mods.

People are building a premium into their prices because of the shortage of stainless steel models. Not so long ago the gray market priced their Rolex watches below retail. But with supply and demand being what it is right now, the market has been flipped on its head. From discount to premiums.

Is this just fantasy ?

Sorry couldn't resist lol.

Best way to know is check for the same watch on chrono24 or eBay and compare.

A prohunter is a modified watch and I believe that Rolex will not service it or provide spare parts for it. Beware.

Did he pay 16000e for a prohunter?

OP is asking a question and at the same time got offensive for no reason.

I think the price is about $12000, but you can go ahead with comparison on eBay.

The only people who should be buying online are those who know what they're doing. I say this with peace and love, but everything you've said in this thread indicates you're a novice. I would advise you not to take chances with online sellers if you want to avoid the risk of learning a very painful and expensive lesson.

i think he bought it this price and he sells it with the same price again
he bought it in saint tropez , you know the famous town in france with brigitte bardot... lol

i don't care if it's black or any coulour , all i want is making a great bargain , i just want to make an investment ..then maybe i'll wear it , but i'm a little scared to wear it since some friends of mine got robbed in the street , just like that
