Hey CWC,
Here's my last watch on the chopping block as I am moving to the US for the year and want to try to get into an AP.
It's a 216570, black dial, without original box and papers, but as per Rolex Service Centre it is 2012 model year, serviced with them in 2018, although they're not able to provide a copy of that paperwork due to confidentiality. It is in very good to excellent condition, running +3-4 seconds/day, eligible for dial swap to polar. Original bracelet included and has 12.5 links (6.5 removable).
A few signs of wear to point out: 1 mm ding on crystal (see 12X zoom below), light scratch on bezel (under certain lighting around the 10-12 o clock markers), prior ding on corner of bracelet that was previously polished (as far as I can see based on asymmetry), that being said, looks absolutely mint on the wrist and a perfect GADA watch.
Available for $11000.00 as have this offer from a retailer in the US and figured I would offer it on CWC before I fly down at the end of April. Excellent opportunity to wear the black dial, scuff it up and then send it into RSC for an overhaul and dial swap (they replace the crystal too) and still be under MSRP + tax (not to mention the ridiculous grey markup on the polar of $4-5K). I am not looking for trades currently.
Imperfections:
1. Chip: (under 12X magnification only, very difficult to see otherwise)
2. Scratches: (under certain lighting)
3. Ding: (suspect previously polished)
