It may not have been a standard size in the 1980s link when this watch hit the market, but today it is much more common. But despite the modern sizing and the popularity of the brand in link general, collectors can still find solid value in APs such as this – a solid 18k link yellow-gold chronograph, let alone one of the most historic and in-demand watchmakers to ever exist – for $11,000. An even loosely similar example from Patek Philippe would start at four times the price, or more.

To further complicate matters at the same time Rolex was producing the "small crown" reference. 6536 it link was also producing link the "big crown" reference 6538. For a lot of link people this is the Rolex Submariner. It's the watch that Sean Connery famously wore as James Bond in Dr. No 1962 and it's got that beefy tool watch feel while still oozing vintage charm.
