Well...are the SD4k aftermarket prices about to skyrocket...

Guitarfan · 22 March 2017, 10:35 PM

No, but I think as supplies dry up prices will firm. Only produced for 3 years, and not a good seller, means supply will always be sightly limited. Demand relative to that supply will dictate the price.

dan_beaven · 22 March 2017, 10:42 PM

There's a brand spanking new one in a Solihull (UK) AD at £8,960

I'm sure people will start listing them at ridiculous prices and them come back down to earth when they realize people won't pay them.

Gharddog03 · 22 March 2017, 10:51 PM

Why not.... let's shoot for 10k plus.

teo · 22 March 2017, 10:51 PM

3 years? The shortest production in Rolex history. Likely price goes double.

Actual production was probably just two years. Introduced at Basel 2014, then to market that August or so, and Ads weren't able to order more in or around Q4 of 2016 by most accounts.

teo · 22 March 2017, 10:59 PM

But someone mentioned it is still in Rolex website.

Mystro · 22 March 2017, 11:01 PM

No way. It's a limited niche watch to begin with. There is enough of them on the secondary market that those that wanted it, would already own it. The new SD is really the modern Submariner as its size and spec is caught up to the competition. They wiill sell a lot more of the new SD than the current 40mm SD.

No...but do I think you'll see SD4k prices doing as nicely as other discontinued models on the secondary market. But, I'm no expert...time will tell.

They always keep the old models on the site during the transition period before the new hit ADs

I'm inclined to think the big price increases hit the 16610 instead, but just my perspective

sensui · 23 March 2017, 01:45 AM

I believe it'll go way up... But not immediately. Need a couple years.

Token74 · 23 March 2017, 01:46 AM

I suspect prices will hold in the near term, but I would expect it to become a cult watch in the future. Amazing how often the unloved becomes lusted!

Chewbacca · 23 March 2017, 01:48 AM

Except for inflation, the sd-c won't appreciate much at all. You can grab 666 and even rarer versions for under $15k still. Which are better bets and better sds imop.

Gasoil4ever · 23 March 2017, 01:51 AM

Well I bought a 16710M with the 3186 and the price went up, I hope it does the same on my 116600.

armen34 · 23 March 2017, 01:56 AM

At least they won't go down in price.

presario · 23 March 2017, 02:00 AM

Yes I think it will. It has all the ingredients, that's for sure.

AK797 · 23 March 2017, 02:05 AM

Would be ironic as its disco-ed as no one was buying the damn thing in the first place.

Very good and logical point. I have been waiting to pull the trigger on one...can't decide between a 16600 lug holes swiss made dial, 116600, or BLNR...but I think the discontinuation of the 116600 has made up my mind.

Most are already sold of the EE here...

LOL they are a hard sell as it is. Discontinuing it isn't going to fix that. They are priced at an awful price point and too high as it is.

outtatime · 23 March 2017, 02:18 AM

I have a LNIB one I just bought, 2 weeks old. Will sell for $30k. :)

VicLeChic · 23 March 2017, 02:26 AM

It's the other way around, they're going to fall off a cliff. Small size, "old" movement, no red letters. People would rather have a Sub than a SD4K 40mm.

Skittman · 23 March 2017, 02:28 AM

In time the dimensions, matte dial and no cyclops will make this very desirable.
Add a limited production run of 3 years and.....

This forum predicted the 116520 would depreciate in value in the aftermath of Baselworld 2016.

Jakx · 23 March 2017, 02:32 AM

To think of watches as 'investments' is a matter of perspective (I'm inclined to say no) . I like my recently acquired 116600 (I made sure I counted the 6's as I typed this) and that's that. I'm expecting resale value will hold just like other Rolex models do. No more and no less.

SubMarine · 23 March 2017, 02:37 AM

To the contrary, I think the SD4k will tank in price... it might even be a good time to pick one up.

SC11 · 23 March 2017, 02:41 AM

Not currently in the U.K quite a few dealers have added 2k to the price since this morning and ones on EBay for 10k!

Madness...

emersm · 23 March 2017, 02:43 AM

I doubt it.
