Reasonable price for Polar 16570

[stevenzhang]

Hi
I am looking to purchase a Polar 16570 (Luminova version), I know prices have gone up a lot over the last few years. What should one expect to pay for a good unpolished version with sharp lugs assuming no b+p?

Cheers

Whatever you think is the right price. You can reference prices on eBay, the classifieds here, and whatever other site that sells preowned watches. Good luck

I’m looking for a tritium version and have seen most at 6500.00 to 8000.00 depending on condition. I’ve read somewhere that there is a difference in the lumanova dials whether it’s Swiss only or Swiss made. Not sure if it’s just BS as far as value goes.

There are differences in the dial lumes, someone did post a thread with the differences.
The price you pay will depend on age, condition, service history, whether the watch is sold as watch only or complete with all box, papers, etc.
Some of the watches have the 3185 movement, a smaller number have the 3186 movement. There seems to be asking more for the 3186, you will have to decide if that is something you want or not, lots written on that on the forums. Is it hype, collectibility, again lots of pros and cons on the latter, you will have to decide.

TS in London are typically £5K to £6K atm. If you’re looking for a late model unpolished minter it might be 6500.

In addition to previous suggestions, this site, https://watchcharts.com/watch/98/charts, providing details of recent sales could be useful.
