How would you value a very clean 1988 model fresh from RSC purchased from an authorized dealer? Thanks.

I have seen clean examples at 4.5 to 5K at vintage dealers. Of course they need to run a business. With recent service papers, probably in that area in the states.

In Denmark, it would be around the same price (DKR. 25,000 ~ 5 K-ish), at dealers, mind you.

I agree with both Mike and Bo. Probably in the $4.5 to $5K USD range in the US. That 16700 is a vintage model now and is much more collectible compared to when it was in production.

The watch I am considering is coming from an authorized Rolex dealer. It is an "L" series and has not original box or papers. It does have the service pouch and the service papers. The dealer would put my name on the service papers and date them on the date of the sale. Price is $2800. What do you think?

If indeed it's all correct with papers--get it.
