In just 2 short years since this article was published, look how much this watch has skyrocketed on the grey market. Only time will tell where this horology roller-coaster will take us!

Yes. It's just 2,5 years when this article was written. The prices started from 6K (euros) back then.
Is it the supply shortage of the 6-digits or what? I don't know. And why just GMT? Why not the Sea-Dweller 16600 which is much rarer and more exclusive "top model"? Strange, especially when 16570 is still relatively cheap.
GMT 16710 was produced in very high numbers. The current asking prices are difficult to understand.
