Thoughts on 16808 pricing ?

I have an option to buy a 1987 mint blue face nipple dial all YG rolex. All parts original. Dealer is reputable and it's in the original box, but no papers. Last services in April and has a 1 year warranty. Bracelet in great shape too. So, what do you all think is a fair price? :)

Need to see pics of condition to make a determination. A brief description is essentially useless. You can always go onto eBay to the completed auction search and see what they have actually sold for in the past for a pretty good average of value.

Thanks. Pics show it to be mint. One owner in the past who barely wore it.

A blue dial will bring a premium compared to the black dial. Pricing is predicated on condition.

1987 seems a little late for a nipple dial, no?

One person's "mint" is another person's "polished so much that the case retains zero original shape". If it's really barely worn, I'd expect an original finish and I'd need to see good pictures to see if it's there.
