Two very nice pieces, Congrats!
I am curious to what the future will bring regarding the value of the modern Rolex. Obviously, everything now is pure speculation based on subtle differences separating these pieces. We have certainly seen the modern Zenith Daytona, and one could argue the current SS Daytona, hold its value, and for certain serials and dial nuances command a healthy premium. But aside from the Daytona, no other watch has been able sustain a premium for a substantial amount of time. Sure the watches have increased in value, but part of that is due to Rolex continually raising their prices. I feel a part of this is craziness is built up by sellers trying to distinguish their watch from others in order to get a slight premium. I will admit that when I heard that the 16610 LV was ending it's production run I bought one, mainly for my son, but also there was a slight hope that it may be worth a tad more. So for now, all I can do is sit back and watch what happens as the current modern Rolex edges closer to becoming vintage.
