The Watch Thread - Part 3

Rolex 216570 (42mm) or 16570 (40mm)?

The 216570 which was released in 2011 will set you back more. Preowned prices will mostly be in the high 7k to 8k odd region depending on where the set was purchased from (local sets will likely cost more).

The 16570 has been superseded by the 216570 and should cost less. Expect the range to still be in high 4k all the way to about 6k region. In all likelihood, the local sets will cost a little more as well.

After trying on various 16570 from different series, i would say go for the 216570, the 16570 just feels to be of lower quality to the 216570.

Below $2.6k can get u1.

Below $2.7k can get u1 after. Save the rest of the money for something else.
