Hi, I have been looking for a BNIB 16613 blue for 2 months now but just can't seem to come across one. I did try the sellers here too. Surely they can't be that hard to find? Maybe I am not looking hard enough, any tips on where to look?

Failing that I might just have to go with the new sun burst 116613 which am looking forward to see.

They come up here occasionally but not often. Not many left, and many (like yourself) would like one. The fact that Rolex has now put the sunburst dial on the 116613 may ease the demand for these, but probably not - many still may prefer the older model.

I thought I saw a BNIB 16613 here about 6 months ago, but that was the last time that happened. As I recall, the price may have been around $9000Whether or not that is correct, expect to take a while to find one, and pay a premium when you do. But hey, the search is part of the fun, right?

I would think there are still AD's with them in the case somewhere!

Look on Chrono24 - you might get lucky

I'd get the new 116613. Best of both worlds.

X2. The sunburst dial, plus the new clasp. A bit tougher on the wallet, though.

Yeah a BNIB is not easy to find....and plus they fetch a heavy premium....I have one and will also get the 116613 with the new sunburst dial...just waiting

cruvon · 29 June 2013, 11:58 AM

Thanks for your kind advice friends, will see if I can snag a new 16613 in the next few months else will look into the new sunburst one. Btw wonder where one of our members here got his sunburst one from, are they out at only selective Rolex dealers currently?

I'd have passed on that one, the crown coronet wasn't at 12 o'clock.

I'm actually surprised that there still may be some around.

The new ones shouldn't be too hard to find. The new GMT is getting out there and the new 116613 isn't much of a change either, just dial/bezel color.
