16610lv, 116600 Production Numbers

[tpfaok]

Is there a way to compute the estimated production figures for 116600 and, for 16610lv with the flat 4 bezel and mark 1 dial?

No. Mark 1 LV is more rare.

Short answer no but many hundreds or thousands of each.

Do you really believe there were 100s of thousands of the SD4K in its short life span? I believe so of the sub.

I am curious as well.

Does 2.5 year production run really mean anything, or in that short period did Rolex produce enough ensuring that the model will never be rare. People are taking care of their watches today, as well as collecting, as well as the watches being more durable. Pieces won’t be disappearing from the market over time like the vintage models.

If you read my post I stated many hundreds, or thousands of each.

I'd believe there were more 116600 SDs made and sold per year than 116500LN Daytonas. And, Daytonas are pretty easy to get. 116600s are harder to get now due to specululators hoarding them and enthusiasts wearing them. But, I'd still guess at least 30,000 are out there, which isn't a small number in terms of rarity.

Thanks makes sense

The other variable is that it's in direct competition with the new 126600 SD. While the 40mm is still an awesome size for many, the new version has its benefits. Until the 116600 market completely dries up, I believe the 126600 will keep prices in check for a while. But, that's just my guess. I sold my 116600 after three years figuring it wouldn't cost me much to get back in if I wanted. Hopefully I'm right.
