Size aside, I've got to say just when I think a SS Rolex diver couldn't get even more crazy in price, the price goes up significantly. I clearly remember saying years ago (well before I even purchased my first Sub), "No way that SS watch is worth $4000!" Now I yearn for the days of a BNIB Sub or SD for sub $5K!  |
When I was looking into my first nice watch in 07-08, I looked at this article that compared the SMP and the Sub.

At the time, I couldn't imagine spending over double for a Sub (I think at the time, the 16610 must have been around 5k). It's crazy to think that the 116610 is 8.5k and with the expected price increase, it will be very close to 10k.
