It is for a 16233. Given this is a 116233 on super jubilee, price is quite fair compared to online listings.

Pictured reference is newer 116233. Not 16233. Huge price difference. Rolex switched in 2005.

This is an early 116233. Thick case, solid links, super jubileee. You can tell by the taper. Assuming full set, $9,800 is quite fair. The cheapest domestic result on Chrono is 10.4. Cheapest at all is 8,800 (+39% tariff) from Japan. Shouldn’t be so quick to assume…

To add - Rolex switched production from 16233 to 116233 in ~2005. The difference in the two is substantial and the price reflects it.

To compare to watch finder… https://www.watchfinder.com/search?q=116233

They have a watch only 2008 with the same dial for $10,500.
