Most Collectible Current Rolex?

[Ed Rooney]

I wonder what your opinions are of the most collectible currently available Rolex? By that I mean you could walk into an AD and order one or go on a list with a fighting chance to get one within a year.

GMTII 16710 Pepsi w/stick dial?
Sea-Dweller?
Sea-Dweller with no holes (a relatively short 4-5 year production run)?
COSC 14060M?
Kermit?

They are all great but with time is when we see what people are willing to pay to get their hands on them. Life can often take another direction. Few examples:

A Rare Tudor box set auctioned off on ebay for $835.00 USD

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=018

At auctions in UK people have paid well over 6 figures USD for Comex SeaDwellers

in 1957 the Submariner Date sold for $180.00 USD, imagine the cost to get one now?

That can give a little idea. Thing is some of the "Highly collectable" watches are ones that people at the time would not have guessed would end up being worth what they are today. Part of what gives me the thrill and makes me want to get my hands on everything even booklets and tags etc to have a full set

Without a doubt, the current most collected Rolex is the Submariner...

But the most Collectible is a different story...

Of the current offerings, I would say the most collectible are the SS Daytona and Milgauss GV.

Perhaps the DSSD may affect that, we shall see.

I feel there is a good chance it might but we will eventually find out.

At least you could show us a photo of your GV, you lucky rat, I know you love to torture me

[Andad]

Any excuse will do.
You know you can 'borrow' it any time you are in Adelaide.

I would say GV, hands down. I've been #1 on my AD list for a year and he said I'll get a DSSD first.

[karmatp]

I would say the COSC 14060M will be very sought after in future, like it is today. Pure beauty and simplicity, it can't be matched.

Now that's what I'm talking about
Excellent photos, appreciate that

They are not the same. The DSSD is the DeepSea Sea-Dweller and is a bulked-up version of the the SD that was introduced at the latest Basel. The SD has been discontinued in lieu of the DSSD.

Totally agree!

Nice pics, Eddie!

It's interesting to see the BLUE lume of the orange 3, 6 and 9 indices. This could give you an idea of how the blue lume of the DSSD is going to look like.

Another nice details of the MG GV: it seems that the WHITE indices emit WHITE lume and not green as you'd expect. Lastly, I really like the green reflection caused by the lume of the indices being reflected by the green etched crystal.
