Thread: Seamaster RIO 2016

    Seamaster RIO 2016

    Just wondering if anyone on the forum has one of these Seamasters with the coloured numerals in the ceramic bezel?
    seen one locally that looks very nice
    they were limited (to 3000+)! but not often seen
    also, any idea on value? the one ive seen is at 2795 that seems a tad dear maybe?
    what do we think?

    Also known in some quarters as the LGBT edition due to the rainbow nature of the bezel!

    i like it a lot, more so than the plain ceramic one. Prefer the latest model though.

    Think that's about the going rate in the UK.

    It s a wee bit of a marmite watch just like the commander. You either like it or don't.

    I think total balls on the LGBT. I think Wayne mentioned it at the time.

    I have one. Fantastic watch, and I love the dial.

    Very different to the standard model, but possibly £1k difference in price too. I'm sure it will hold the difference, as the 10007 edition bond watches always hold their respective premiums over the standard watches from new.

    I think £2750 is a good price, if the watch and set are right. I've only seen a few cheaper, and one of those was very well worn/marked.

    I added the adjustable clasp to mine, and it's a really nice wearer - reminds me I need to get it out when I'm next home and give it some more wear. Hopefully my gay friends will just think I'm very supportive lol ffs!
    It's just a matter of time...

    Who have you found that likes the Commander? I was under the impression it was pretty universally disliked.

    Is the commander the one with the seconds hand that says LOO?

    The Commander has the updated case back lock though, so really a transitional model - it will be expensive at some point in the future, no doubt. I'd buy if at a very very good price.

    No, it's the white dial with blue/red bezel.

    Lovely looking watch, but a new business means is the wrong time for me to buy.

    Ah, yes, Ok. The usual 007 second hand look that was used on the older SMP300m and Planet Ocean - then yes LOO lol
    It's just a matter of time...
