[watchlobby]

[seiko.citizen]

enough to make the seller part with it

[watchlobby]

I was offered one for S$13K.. will you part with that money?

[seiko.citizen]

i refuse to pay silly premium prices ... so the answer to that Q is NO. S$8-9 i can still tahan.

[watchlobby]

hehe.. anyone has any official source? I heard the GMTII with 3186.. only as few as 200 pieces made.. anyway to verify???

good thread

this is a very good thread with all the hype on the gmt-11. personally, not more than SGD8k. anything, i may as well get a ceramic or sub lv.

no... thats me

but if you insist on having an older model rolex with the newer model internals... then why not?

your cup of tea may not be mine

13K for a GMT Master II 16710?? With that $, there are a lot of better options available. Lets faced it, the last batches of 16710 with the 3186 movement is a nice acquisition and may rise in value in the years to come, but sellers demanding almost 5K over its last known retail price is simply a case of "sellers drumming up demand" ploy. Its' rarity may also not necessarily lead to higher potential value because the determinant of prices is always demand. As much as I would love to have such a 16710 & would even probably consider trading my only SD to attain it, I'm afraid I would not cross the sensible price threshold of SGD8K and break the bank just to follow the hype. juz my opinion.

well said...
keep your SD bro... its special enough as it is..

[seiko.citizen]

imo the watches worth keeping are SD and GMTII, SS daytona as usual demand still strong.

[watchlobby]

definitely quite true.. 13K, might as well save a bit more for the DAYTONA!!!

[seiko.citizen]

you hit the nail spot on!!

You are right, feudallordcult. If more than 8k, I will go for GMTIIc or SubLV

Same here. Anything more than S$8,000 is just ridiculous
