Rolex Sub 18k gold and Steel blue face

[jonny70]

A relative of mine is after a 2nd hand Sub 2 tone blue face .Seeing as im a stainless steel man myself .

whats the going rate for non ceramic and ceramic ones? how much should one pay?

[Sy1441]

Dependant on year but anything from around £4-6.5k for a non-ceramic and £6.5-£8 for a ceramic.

You'll be lucky

The OP is asking about the 18k with blue face Sub, not S/S Subs


I'd say you'd be looking at 10-12k for an earlier 16618 Sub and 15k+ for a newer 116618 Sub.

The words 'two-tone' suggest the bi-metal watches to me so 16613 or 116613 ceramic. Prices seem accurate, but do your won research on chrono24 to confirm.

Lovely watches... I never used to like them, now they look superb!

Re-reading it that way, you're probably right.

Just automatically assume anyone mentioning 18k means, just that, rather than the little bit of 18k on a a bi-metal.

He didn't mention 18k did he?

Just a note, the first of the ceramics had a flat blue face but last year it was replaced(?) with the blue sunburst dial.

Many don't like the ceramic subs which is why late 16613 are increasing in value ......they stopped making them in 2009 ( I think)

The original ceramic TT subs had that awful flat blue face. Not nice at all, looked almost like a fake!

It weirdly suited the white gold version I thought...
