Which watch would be less likely to lose value over the years, a polar dial Explorer II 16570, or a Sea Dweller 16600? Don’t really care for “investment” watches, but trying to decide between the two and I like both equally so just thinking which one could maintain value in the long run.

The Rolex bubble will lift, or sink, the value of both pretty much equally. It’s highly unlikely one would perform differently than the other. There’s absolutely no fundamental reason that they would.

The difference in value between both will be very minimal. I’d pick the one you like more.

16570 is a hell of a watch. I wouldnt buy a watch with thoughts of selling it though. Buy it to enjoy it.

like

Yup buying to enjoy. Don’t really think of watches as investments, but if they can retain their value over the long term then it’s an added benefit

Agree I think the difference would be really minimal. If I were to get another Rolex it would be one of these two references

like

Both popular models, I think your money if safe in either. My pick would be the polar would I don't have the wrists for the sea dweller.

like

I would think the explorer would barring anything weird happening like Rolex discontinuing that reference. The explorer is a smaller and hence easier watch to wear. I think the sea dwellers size could steer people away

like

Interesting. I have a sub. Didn’t go for the sea dweller cuz I didn’t like the thicknes

Def Polar Ex II. Sea Dweller is more niche and not as popular due to its weight. Also, Sea Dweller is going to be more expensive when you get it serviced. Just had my 16570 serviced and it was over $1K.
