What do people think of this Sub?

My brother wants to buy a Sub, it will be his first Rolex and I was hoping he could take my new Ceramic Sub order but from speaking to my AD, that could be 6 months away

Personally, I don't buy anything off fleabay, too many fraudsters around but he has taken a shine to Kermit

What are people's thoughts on this particular watch. I'm going to direct him to the forum and try to get him to find a reputable uk based seller.

I really like it but it's not up to me. If he likes it he should get it.

I say buy and wear what you like and dont get influenced by what anybody else says. Its your money and your wrist it will be on so...........
Either way enjoy and wear the new watch in good health.

As others have said, it looks to be a good choice; price and condition are acceptable, and it would be a fine acquisition.

I have to admit that I chuckled at his last line of text, the one in bold type-face ...

"I will not be posting the watch out to long-lost relatives in Nigeria ..."

I prefer the pre-ceramic Sub, that would be my choice,or the LV with a black insert. A classic watch.

Go for the pre-ceramic... Vintage style, compared to the newer ones. They are slim, with the same movement: so why getting a bigger case when it is not useful? My 2cents...

Thanks for the comments.

As mentioned above, watch is for my brother not for me.

Was more interested in whether the watch looked legit or not.

The watch looks legit, but the sellers feedback is 97.6%. That would concern me more. Check through the sellers ebay feedback history before pulling the tigger on this one.
