IMO, the 16710s will maintain their prices in the current 6k plus range, because of the prices of the 116710. Similarly, the prices of SDs will be in the high 7s to 8k (possibly even higher) due the the price of the incoming DSSD.
Now the 116710s are appearing in ADs in other countries and are selling at retail. Some of the retail prices are lower than S'pore, for e.g. in Japan the 116710 can be had for S$9,200.

i was offered a 1675 at 5.3k 9 months ago, no box and papers of course. the clasp was bit over polished, but the dial and the bezel was beautiful.
i declined now squeeze balls! hahahha
a) Watch must have original dial and hands - i.e. tritium
b) Watch dial and hands must match
c) Case has to be original, not recased - ie 4 million series type.
Otherwise, those prices you mentioned will not happen. Vintage collectors are very very picky about a) b) c), as far as I know. Of course, those who do not know much about valuation may not be as fussy.

Very new to this forum and would like to share my view.
I have seen the green sub price shot up to SGD13k and down to current. Most were caught unaware of this pricing and therefore loss $$$.
Would this time round happen to the GMTs?
GMT were the fav to Indonesian many years ago because of the different time zone within Indon. They were also the target for robbers because it was easy to identify a GMT.
my 2 cents...
Red sub 1680 / sub 1680 / sub 16610 / Explorer II black & white /

Bro, sorry asking something so long ago.
Will SD price will be higher than GMT Master (not GMT Master 2)?
Buy old and swee swee GMT Master or a new and cheaper SD?
