Whatever the market will bear!
As a 16710 wearer, I find these small variations and details (eg. 3185/3186) to be fascinating! IMO the history and these small details is part of what makes Rolex so alluring |

Maybe, but it is wayyyyyy over priced.

I wouldn't buy it...but I wouldn't buy the bejeweled/candy crush Daytona either....I know the market is there and the 16710 market has now been driven to be limits. I know David personally goes to most jewellery/watch shows and keeps a pulse on pricing...so his asking prices most often are current market. (Albeit a tad higher to accommodate for bargaining)
You know what they say....people can ask whatever they want.... |

Only a bit better than the stock market. If you invested $5,000 in an SP500 fund in 2003 you would have $15,000 now. If you invested that $5,000 in the NASDAQ composite you would have $25,000 today.

I would only argue that early 3186 are known to have issues with the click spring, so I don’t see why there would be a premium, even after the fix it’s basically the same performance as a 3185.
But, prices are set but the market I guess.

I don’t envision any layman type watch buyer being tempted by this unless they somehow found out about what it is / why it’s significant and latched onto that concept. Seems far fetched. Just my $.02

$22,000 5-digit GMT?
Too much for me. But to each his own. And the market sets prices. I’ll stick with my 2000 SEL+holes pepsi, Full Set and 3185. I can’t say much because I can get caught up in things. But not this one...🤙

I’m sort of missing the point of the OP. We all know as watch enthusiasts that discontinued Rolex SS sport references tend to gain value as time goes by. The economy is great so we are seeing this appreciation accelerated to some degrees on virtually all SS references, past and present.
Would I pay for the listed price? No, but remember: the market on something that is not being produced any longer is whatever someone will pay for it. |

Yes it is getting crazy. Believe me, it's only a matter of time for reality to return. I wouldn't want to be one of those "investor ...what's it worth" buyers when this happens. There's going to be a lot of disappointed buyer-speculators out there in Rolex Land!
