1665 Prices and Sales

[rootbeer7]

There have been some high prices asked for Gt Whites recently, but Watchclub had one listed this week for £17500 and it's already sold!! I know the pound is weak and they're based in Bond St, but boy that's a premium and I'm not sure it's a complete set either! Think I'll keep mine another year!

Thats good news! I also have a great White which I want to sell later :))

In germany the price for a Sea Dweller GW in really good condition without paperwork is ca. 11000 EUR......

Prices are all over the place for GWs lately. There's a very nice MK1 on VRF right now for $13500, and then there's a good dealer who posted an MK1 recently here for $23500. Both are said to have no or little polish. Go figure. I understand there will always be some variations in price for the same model based on overall condition, patina, independent vs. dealer, service history, etc ... because no two vintage watches are the same, of course. But such a huge gap is odd and tells me the vintage Rolex market is crazier than ever right now. Here's my GW MK1 that I sold recently somewhere between the two numbers listed above.

The one for 13,500 is beautiful and already sold

The market is so volatile right now. I did not think I'd see a MKI Great White go for anywhere close to 23K for a long while.

I'd advise those in the market to be cautious for deals that seem too good to be true, playing on your fear missing out. Right now I see a 1655 straight hand on VRF listed at way below market value. Great deal for no one except the seller because it's fake.

1655 Seller listed as a refinished dial?

[jdmi32]

It's a very common fake 1655 dial. Here's another example.

My apologies to the OP for taking this off topic.

To help bring it back on topic, here is my MKI Great White.
