GMT 16710 'Time Capsule' from 2008. Bought new, never worn, stored in a safe for 8 years. Sold for approx $9.3K USD.

Then we have this 1675 being sold by a jewellery shop for $7K USD with the description:
"This vintage Rolex wristwatch has been previously loved and completely restored to just like new"

That is an interesting restoration on the GMT 1675.

Uhhhh which one is sublime and which is ridiculous? Remind me...

in my opinion the 1675 looks great (obviously not restorerd but even never polished, hard to find a 1675 like this one)..

I probably misunderstood .. but the ridiculous price ever in my opinion is that of the 16710 , not that of 1675 that personally i like very much (this one I mean)
