Flippa Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Interesting strap...wrist roll...please.... uhh OK NVMD...ja, those look way cool with a stitched leather strap...shouldn't be too difficult to find... Its a waffle rubber strap from www.cheapestNATOstraps.com. I'm looking at either the leather or sailcloth from Barton Bands, probably in a chocolate with contrasting stitching capediver and gummibear 2

capediver Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Did you guys see that chap who had a unworn Daytona with blank paper on Antiques Road Show?Saw the video, reaction was a bit of set-up with ARS I reckon, made for good TV...watch was no doubt a very rare model, only a short run of the "Oyster" model made, provenance was without doubt but it was not "unworn"...sticker on case back showed quite a lot of wear, the inside of the clasp as well...New Old Stock..I dunno..Similar model sold at Christies Geneva last year for just shy of US$500,000....Having said that, on auction in the right place, that piece may actually exceed that estimate and even get upwards of $1mil....with crazy rich people in the room.... lucky fella! Edit: I'm hoping I'm still alive when my 2003 16610 Subbie reaches that value!!!! Edited February 4, 2020 by capediver the nerd, gummibear, Patchelicious and 1 other 4
gummibear Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Edit: I'm hoping I'm still alive when my 2003 16610 Subbie reaches that value!!!!if it has COMEX on the face and case back then it may be worth plenty.
the nerd Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 if it has COMEX on the face and case back then it may be worth plenty. Wouldnt be a 5 digit then... capediver 1
capediver Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 if it has COMEX on the face and case back then it may be worth plenty. unfortunately not....

Interesting, i see they made them till quite late. Always thought it was only the 4 digit subs that came with comex dials. And then the sea dwellers etc *edit Heres the list if anyone cares for it... http://rolexpassionmarket.com/watch-model/comex/ Edited February 5, 2020 by the nerd capediver 1
