How the index is built
One series per reference, a level for each year from at least 6 sales, and each change taken as the median across at least 3 references, chained from 100. The full method: how our collection price indexes work.
23 references feed this index (1 auction sold, 17 forum listings marked sold, 5 eBay sold): Submariner Date 16800, Submariner 14060, Submariner 14060M, Submariner Date 16610, Submariner Date 16803, Submariner Date 16613, Submariner 5513, Submariner 114060, Submariner Date 116610LN, Submariner 124060, Submariner Date “Kermit” 16610LV, Submariner Date 116613LN, Submariner Date 126610LN, Submariner Date 116613LB, Submariner Date “Starbucks” 126610LV, Submariner Date 126613LN, Submariner Date “Bluesy” 126613LB, Submariner Date “Hulk” 116610LV, Submariner Date 16808, Submariner Date 16618, Submariner Date 116618LB, Submariner Date 126619LB, Submariner Date 126618LB. Forum figures are the price a seller listed when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price.
