Watch Market Report: Submariner 16618 Leads Rolex Asks

The Rolex Submariner 16618 is the busiest reference with 12 listings and a median ask of $27,000. Most of the Rolex field is tightly stacked, and the Daytona 126500LN and Oyster Perpetual 124200 are the exceptions.

Covers 24 hours through October 26, 2026.

The short version: Expect $26,500 to $28,000 on a 16618 and $16,900 to $19,400 on a Batgirl. If a Daytona 126500LN is priced far from $35,100, check the dial first.

The Batgirl (126710BLNR) has 11 listings, mostly full set, at a median ask of $18,200. The range runs $16,900 to $19,400. That is wider than the Submariner on fewer listings, so there is more room to negotiate here.

The Oyster Perpetual 124200 is the loosest Rolex in the table. Five listings, median $7,900, middle range $6,000 to $11,000. The Yacht-Master II 116680 has 7 listings at $15,000 and the Vacheron Constantin Overseas 47040 has 5 at $18,850, with the top quartile reaching $25,500.

Three full-set listings stand out. The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept 26580IO is asked at $108,900. The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date 4000U/000R-B110 is $25,500.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M 217.32.42.21.01.004 is $7,250.

Most mentioned models and what buyers want

Datejust leads mentions with 51, ahead of GMT-Master II at 46 and Omega Seamaster at 30. Submariner has 24, Tudor Black Bay 16 and Vacheron Constantin Overseas 14. Day-Date has 13, Speedmaster 12, and the Cosmograph Daytona and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 9 each.

The want list is thin at 6 references. Three are Rolex: the Sky-Dweller 336934, the Oyster Perpetual 134300 and the Oyster Perpetual 126000, including a green example. The rest are the Piaget Possession and two Patek Philippe references, the 5066A-010 (Japan edition) and the 5740/1G.

No explicit price cuts showed up in listing text. Many listings welcomed trades.

The Royal Oak Concept at $108,900 will draw the attention. The 12 Submariner 16618 listings inside a $26,500 to $28,000 range say more about where the market is.

How we read the market: figures come from for-sale and wanted-to-buy posts in the buy and sell groups we follow during the period shown. Medians use posts with a stated price or budget, and the same watch can appear in more than one group. This is a read on the market, not an appraisal, price quote or financial advice.
