I havn't seen much communication/activity on these watches during the past serveral months.

Any input on whether or not this still could be a collectible in the future
would be appreciated.

Thanks

In my opinion the Italians are the trend setters for what is to become
a classic and collectible Rolex, also the most knowledgeable of all collectors.
What remained unsold in the USA during the late 60's 70's and 80's
the Italians would beg to have.
As soon as the GMT-Master II ended a long term production and the ceramic
came into play these same Italians were all over the 16710's with all the little
differences and paid "big" money to get them.
Now the hype is gone and they will not pay over 4200 dollars for one.
Will it be a classic like the 1675..?...Of course it will...give it 25 years...
