• Nice looking watch.

    Probably was only £2k when new (edit:don't actually know 😂)

    This was when it was still a tool watch rather than eye candy. Different target markets.

    Pure gossip I think there might be a new coke this year. But knowing rolex they'll mess it up.

  • Ref 16710 in 1996 was ~ £2250 ($3500@1.56). Impressive guess.

  • It was always eye candy. Especially once they started using white gold for the markers (like on that model). But from the beginning they were very much luxury products marketed at people using the glamour of aviation, etc.

    It's just that people also needed a good watch, unlike now, so they were also very good, reliable, functional watches.

  • Yeah 'apparently' the Root Beer is being discontinued. That came from the Tudor AD in Battersea. Guess that would make way for the final return of the Coke but we all love a rumour.
