Just spotted once locally in a jewellers, boxed with papers, whats a fair price for one nowadays?
Aren't they around the 6.5k mark ?? (or do I live in a cave):smiley:
Edit : A quick squint around Google tells me I must do...
I think it depends on its age, flat four bezels etc command much higher prices
Condition will also have a bearing on the price.
Aren't the newer ones around the £8k Mark and the earlier flat fours are trading for £10k to £15k depending on the seller.
Just been offered £8250 for my Z serial on trade in

Maybe for the last year ;)Quote:

For £3k!
About £7500 - £8000 seems fair for private sales.
An AD in 2005 had two LVs, my brother had one and I ummed and arrrhed at the RRP of £2650 as I wanted a Speedy more. So naturally, I got a Breitling instead. <Facepalm>Quote:

Certainly beats the bank interest rates!

Prices are certainly shooting through the roof for the LV, along with the Sub (no-date) and the Pepsis. Crazy times. Have to wait for the prices to cool off. I wonder how long that will take or whether it will happen at all...Quote:

The number of 'Y' series must be tiny. From what I understand production only started in September 2003 and mine from December 2003 was an 'F'
Anybody paying the difference because a 4 is a different shape on the bezel is nuts(I include myself in this category).It is the same watch.Quote:

It's not just the "4", the insert also looks much more like baby poop. That's worth at least a 20% premium.Quote:

I found this nice one, it's the same guy that I bought my 5512 off, not the cheapest but highly respected. Looks like a nice example.

I agree that prices are crazy, but the watches seem to sell quickly enough.
There's a guy in the USA who has been sitting on a really nice white dial Zenith Daytona offered at $35,000 for a decent while. The thing is now up to $49,000. I remember when you could get a big red for less than that - it wasn't even that long ago.Quote:

Wow if only I had more money. Very nice old shiny things👍 Now what can I sellQuote:

I would recommend Philippe based on my experience and over on the Vintage Rolex Forum he is on their list of recommended sellers. He certainly gets some top quality stock in.
