As cheap as $5K to as much as $15K. All depends on originality, condition, documentation and if it has box/papers and all the extra's. Average ones are $8-$10K range.

IMO it depends more on the dial than anything else but as stated, lots of variables. :)

Sold mine a couple of months ago for £8,000. about $16,000. but it was mint with box and papers, also i had got it from the original owner. the dial was exceptional this makes a huge impact on the value. wish i kept it now will be very hard to replace. i have heard of other similar examples making even more.

regards kk

I agree with everyone and what they have said. I would add this word of caution in the Western U.S. there have been many fake or altered red dials pop up due to the high price they command. Have a knowledgably AD or some one who really knows Red Subs help you. I would not trust myself as I do not know enough information about the red subs to make an educated purchase. I love the red subs I know for myself it is a Rolex I will never have unless Rolex puts out a new version of it. Good luck to you.

I had a look at a Red Sub recently in a vintage watch store. Without papers, it was DKR. 42,000 (8,000 Dollars).

It is my grail watch, and I hope to get one some day.

There is definitely that mystic "something" about Red Subs that makes them extremely desirable.

You have to be oh so careful about not getting a "modded" dial.

It is worth the "dial artist's" time to "upgrade" a dial. That's another $5k extra for the watch.

They can be differentiated, but at high magnification and by an expert's eye, at least for the latest efforts.
