    I checked yesterday and there are probably 20 EXII 16570 at or below 4k in Chrono24.

    Sorry, I was leaving looking for a white dial with box and papers. £6k seems to be the starting price...

    That must be expensive box and papers. I bought a white dial 16570 without for under £3,400 this week.

    I’ll admit to paying a very reputable dealer a bit over £5k for a 2007 3185 polar with box and papers and Dec 18 Rolex service. I paid a premium, I know, for the comfort of the service and dealer.

    £3400 is very good for a loose one, private sale though?

    I think high 4s from your average dealer with box and papers but no obvious recent service is doable.

    Low to mid 4s for a black one for sure. Miltonaires has a couple of 3186s for high 4s, which seem a bargain to me from such a good dealer.

    I think it was a fair price given age and condition.

    I think your prices are off, there is a very nice black 16570 with box and warranty papers on SC which has been bumped for a few weeks at £3,800 without sale.

    The Explorer II in SC isn't for sale, the owner is looking for an interesting trade. He said he's turned down purchase offers. Also, I think it doesn't have the original warranty card and is the slightly less popular black dial.

    From my limited market research 'asking prices' roughly seem to start from:
    - Explorer II - c.£3.5k - £4.5k
    - Subs - £4.5k - £5.5k
    - GMTs (Coke/Pepsi) - £5.5k - £6.5k

    In all cases, dealer prices start at the higher end, and B&P 'full sets' can add about 25%. Factors such as condition, ownership history, originality, Rolex service history, inclusion of bracelet, location, private sales, etc, all have a +/- influence on the true value.

    I think that’s a very accurate summary, lower end of those scales being a real bargain and the higher with b&p premium being dealer/buy the seller comfort prices

    As others have said, try a local AD and you might get lucky and bag a new ND sub for retail. I've not seen any non bi metal GMT in an AD for a very long time.

    If there is a concern about wearing the value I'd agree that tudor would be a great place to look too, fantastic watches for the money.
