Cool!

I just wish I could attend.

Serious hardware! It'll be interesting to see what kind of pricing comes about.

I noticed the Space Dweller that have up for auction.

If we see a mint WF Daytona and GMT C up for sale then we know Bo's going for it.

I didn't even realize that there was ever a "Space-Dweller." What is the backstory there??

If you click on the Space-Dweller watch shown in the preview, you can read more about it (Click!). Also, there is a small passage about it in "The Rolex Report" by John E. Brozek.

Btw., many places the name is spellt wrong:

"Spacedweller", or "Space Dweller".

There is a "-" between Space and Dweller and in capitals:

SPACE-DWELLER

The watch is said to have only been made for about 18 months. Apart from the writing on the dial it's a normal 1016,

Thanks for the pic, Mike!

Reckel · 3 January 2008, 11:52 PM

And AFAIR the 1016 Space-Dewller was only marketed in the Japanese market. So there are not a lot around...

Wonder if Rolex will be bidding against themselves to raise the prices?
HEADLINE Rare Rolex Record Price.
Its all in the marketing.

While Rolex is already known as luxury brand with stable or rising prices for vintage pieces, Omega wasn't so the launched the Omegamania (with around 5 bidders in Basel, I've been there, quite interesting) and pushed up prices.

And I`m miles and miles(and miles,and miles,and miles...) away from NYC...

BuffaloRolex · 4 January 2008, 10:51 AM

Interesting! Thanks for the info.

Perhaps a Space-Dweller relaunch in 2010, with a space-blue sapphire crystal...
