Rolex Sea Dweller 4000

Hi

just come from a Rolex AD. and looked at the Sea dweller4000/ year 1994, good looking watch serviced and the original box and papers. cost £6500

Is this already a vintage model I presume yes ? not really know much about vintage watches, or is the newer version 116660 a better choice?

help please

That price is just a bit high for the SD4000. The new SD, referred to as the SD43, is 3mm larger that the old one.

The SD4000 has been discontinued by Rolex so folks are speculating that it will increase in value. Some sellers are trying to up the asking price but I don't see it working yet. I don't think a 1994 model is truly "vintage" yet.

Overpriced. I've seen a few for 6.5k USD which is also too high.

Agreed. The 16600 is a beautiful watch and future classic for sure! 1994 is on the older side though for that much. I have a gorgeous 2007 that I absolutely love.
