Prices seem to be trending up (like all nice vintage these days, thanks Hodinkee). I've been watching for a Datejust to buy the last few months, and I rarely see a 16XXX series (quickset dates) with box/papers for less than mid-3's. I see plenty of older 16XX pieces in the $2-2.5K range without box, closer to $3K with box/papers. That's just my sense of things, could be way off. Bottom line, takes lots of patience to find a nice one at a good price. But that's half the fun of it.
