Nothing you can currently find on the Rolex website stands a chance.

I agree on the Zenith Daytona and will add:

*A mint Rolex 16570 (black dial or white dial)
*14060
*Sea Dweller 16600

I think these watches will become popular at some point. Some people are already extremely unhappy with the modern day Rolex watches. My SubC has been described as "the jewellery version of a classic". Many people prefer the "older" models mentioned above, including some people just a few years older than me. In 10 years when they want a nice watch, they'll want one of those.

I personally think in time demand for vintage Rolex's as a whole will decline. Rolex are limiting parts accounts etc. and have always been known as not being the best when it comes to servicing vintage watches.

The Bluesy with sunburst blue as now only flat smurf blue is available and maybe the Hulk again for its unique sunburst dial.

I like the chances of the 16610LV. BUT,... I also agree with ikovalchuk17 " Less demand when its sold new, lower production, etc".
Leopard Daytona anyone?
