Price for BNIB Sea Dweller 16600 M or V

Can you still find new 16600 M or V from AD? What is the reasonable price assuming you can find one.

There are few pre-owned SD for sale in this forum, price range from $5,000 - $6,900. Are the prices reasonable?

If one was available at an AD I'd go as far to say that it was a result of it having been kept in the safe by accident or deliberately.

Preowned and great condition, $6000 ish seems about right.

I've found one, a BNIB Sea-Dweller 16600, V serial at an AD, kept in the safe, for $7100. (Canadian) firm plus tax.

Can't make up my mind. Considering pre-loved prices I'm thinking the price is fair, but what do I know.

I saw one advertised BNIB not long ago and they were asking about 8-9k. I don't remember where though. I'm sure that is rare.

Wow.. $7100 plus 13% tax, you are looking at $8023. Isn't this too high too high? Who is willing to pay this amount the 16600?

Sea Dweller is one of the most interesting sought-after Rolex at moment, so if you find one then buy it! For a sealed 16600 V- Series you have to pay around 8.000 EUR in Europe.

I got an M serial Sea-Dweller in the fall, unpolished and mint, complete set, for $6600 from one of the respected sellers on TRF. Over time, that price will only go up. Good luck in your search!

+1 it's the best in my book and If I had a one watch rotation the SD would be it!

its my daily wearer, luckily I got V series brand new before, if I have to do it again now, no question I would be willing buy a brand new again. And to be honest the $7100 plus tax, that the Canadian Dealer that is asking is not bad, because I believe the last list price a few years ago was something like $6800 plus tax when it was discontinue

Very unlikely to find a NIB one at any dealer anywhere in the world. If they have one, they can charge what they want, I assume at least $7K for a new one. Expect to pay north of $6K for a used late model one in good shape.

My A-series one with beautiful lugholes sittong on my wrist as I type...
