PRICE GUIDE / Rolex / 126600
Sea-Dweller
C$16,000–19,500
The red-line Sea-Dweller carries serious technical identity and visible demand, but its market is narrower than the Submariner because fit is non-negotiable.
01 / CONDITION LADDERFour bands.
Four bands.
Evidence decides.
The condition ladder is a decision model, not an automated appraisal. A physical problem can outweigh every accessory; strong provenance cannot repair a weak watch.
The normal decision band for an honest, correctly described example with no material ownership surprise.
Visible wear, incomplete set or weaker transaction terms can be acceptable when the price absorbs the friction.
Deferred service, damage, parts uncertainty or weak seller evidence require manual review rather than blind discounting.
