gummibear Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 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 stitchingMy favorite strap store [emoji106] Chris_ and Underachiever 2
Flippa Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 If you're in SA I'd be really keen on joining you in on an order and splitting costs, if you'd consider it?I'll send you a PM.....
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 Delarey, the nerd, gummibear 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....
capediver Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Wouldnt be a 5 digit then... They did actually make a few 5 and 6 digits...168001666016800016110All mega $$$$ now...

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
gummibear Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Been saving for ages for a Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 4000 from 2008-09 but something always comes up.Maybe time to sell off a bike or 2 Chris_, the nerd and capediver 3
CAAD4 Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Nice timepieces. Sadly they mostly end up in safes, never to be worn, which is a damn pity.
Chris_ Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Nice timepieces. Sadly they mostly end up in safes, never to be worn, which is a damn pity. You know as well as I do you can't wear a rolex (specifically) in joburg anymore. Its without doubt the quickest way to land up with bullets in your car door or even worse... Its a damn shame.
CAAD4 Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I do. That's why I try and stick to certain, non flashy, good quality brands. At least I can wear them all. Just like my carbon wheels now stay on my road bike. I enjoy them, instead of taking them out for races only, which I hardly do anyway. It is what it is.
