    This 8171 "Padellone" in steel is incredible. The camera cuts away when he mentions the million estimate if the dial was original 😅. Still, that is a still an under estimation of value. A steel case in this condition, what appears to be unpolished with the crown still crisp on the caseback by itself is extremely valuable. I wonder if he has the original bracelet that was never worn? Many of these cases were polished and worn away, someone with anmoriginal dial but poor case would pay big money for the case. This is a top dog, grail watch for Rolex collectors.

    Man, it’s sad the watch face was refinished. Because it has no WR, the original dial probably deteriorated to a state that it’s unreadable. And because there were not many manufactured, finding an original good condition dial would be like finding the ark of the covenant. With an original dial, this may have been a $100k watch or more.

    Rolex is just a scam company ripping people off.
    Any company which doesn't even sell their products openly and you have to beg them to sell you some crappy watch, deserves to go bankrupt.
    Companies should entice people to buy their products, not the other way round.
