Tried that very watch on a few weeks ago and thought they'd sold it as I haven't seen it in the window for a long time. seems they just lost it down the back of the metaphorical sofa!
Size is right on the borderline for me - it does wear large but it's soooo attractive. My problem is that I also like the Panomatic Lunar in silver and can't do both...
Very chuffed with this Super Kontiki ‘73 ltd edition, which I think I’m the third forum owner of this month!

That GO is lovely Celia, as is the 16710.
How do they compare on the wrist?
In my constant self-flagellation, I have looped back around to 5-digit Rolex sports watches… - after selling almost one of each sort, many moons ago and for relative change, I have bit an awfully hard bullet and got myself a long-missed SeaDweller 16600 (for more than double the price of the last one I had. Boo-hoo, first world problems)

My first Breitling so went big, tried one of these on about 5 years ago but didn’t like the quality of the bracelet, seems like they’ve stepped up a bit in that department

It's good that we're all different and happy you like it. I went to pick up the 36mm version (6 months wait) with this dial today and turned it down as the dial did absolutely nothing for me in real life so re-registered again for a plain black dial. And I have now been waiting 11 months for a black dial OP36.
My love of no-date watches continues... I yearned for another of these after owning both the date and no-date version previously. Will see if absence makes the heart grow fonder or if it's a case of rose-tinted glasses!

I've been after one for a while.

I like those, can't deal with that much polished steel though.
Might be a candidate for bead blasting though...
Stoked with this absolute corker of a watch from a forum member

Two incomings in two weeks! Both very different watches, and at different ends of the size scale, but both share the tool watch vibe. Liking them both!
Wow, that Glashutte!
Thanks Raj, its fast becoming a favourite.
After umming and arring, and then having a deal fall through, I finally picked up the SD4k. I can see why they are accelerating in popularity as it really does blend the 5 digit compact case design with the modernity of the 6 digits from the ceramachrom bezel with Glidelock. Full track 60min bezel and no-Cyclops seals the deal. Recently sold the latest 126610 Sub to fund this, and I don’t regret it one bit. Could be a keeper…

In comparison to other Rolex over the same period, the 116600 is actually undervalued at 16k. The 16710, has risen almost 300% in comparison over the same time period. Just 3 years ago we were moaning over Daytona's at 15k. Now white ones are 45-50. Thank Covid.
Very nice mate

9k? Sold mine for closer to £6k I think. Was bought new with a discount from Goldsmiths as it was sat in the window. I sold it and kept a vintage Rolex that’s gone up nowhere near as much. Recent or current model watches appreciating faster than vintage? Different times eh!

So assuming £16k is the in-price for a 116600, what’s a 16710 worth now ?
