hi all,

this price seems to good to be true, especially when the guys is willing to have it authenticated at an AD, and is in mint condition..
what do you guys think?

thanks

When it sounds too good to be true.....Walk away. Better yet, RUN!

watchf · 30 October 2011, 12:00 PM

The price doesn't sound realistic unless the seller knows nothing about Rolex and is selling it to get quick buck. Stolen, found, inherited, gifted....

I bought very nice used one for $4K with ROLEX ROLEX renult writing , it was V serial year ago than I traded it back to original seller for other watches he had after few month.
The used market prices has gone up thanks to newer models, The Submariner with date did not sing to me at all , pretty simple reason to give back to original seller when he made a pretty fair offer at the time of trade. I would have made some extra money if I kept the sub but thats not why I collect watches.

Buy it if it's real and doesn't need a 900 dollar service.

Why would it want a $900 service the poster stated it was a 2010 16610 and agree if it all checks out at AD buy it its that simple.

If the AD provides authentication it would be a great buy imo.

CDNWatchNut · 30 October 2011, 12:27 PM

Sounds like a steal of a deal

Could be legit and the seller just wants to unload it with minimal effort

kyle L · 30 October 2011, 12:34 PM

If he's willing to get it checked out by an AD, then I think you should be fine.

Gerardus · 30 October 2011, 05:41 PM

Take it!

blackmsport · 30 October 2011, 05:46 PM

Buy it

Runnin' Rebel · 30 October 2011, 06:53 PM

3900 is just wow, do it. And if it checks out at the AD it's a score

Feras · 30 October 2011, 06:58 PM

Go for it, if not stolen then its a once in a life time bargain ;)

bayerische · 30 October 2011, 08:07 PM

Take it.

He probably won't rob you at the AD either...

blackmsport · 30 October 2011, 08:26 PM

If not send me contact I buy it

dddrees · 30 October 2011, 08:44 PM

If he is willing to have checked by an AD and everything checks out, Go For It.

humvee · 30 October 2011, 08:49 PM

Yup, go for it -- whether it is stolen or not, you or AD will not be able to tell. But if it is authentic, AD can open the case and let you know there and then. Sometimes there are also deals out there too good to be true and timing is everything.

hng · 30 October 2011, 09:06 PM

If you buy stolen stuff make sure you won't end up with the Police :D

who knows if it is stolen or not but the price the seller is asking, I think most of us would show up if we just knew where the deal was going down

But this is definitely not a police sting, that's for sure because the seller is asking a reasonable amount, and not a quick buck like $800 or something.

xjeeunitx · 30 October 2011, 09:11 PM

Today, I bought a 2001 Airking for $975. The other day, I bought a K serial 16610 for $3650. There are good deals to be found if you stay patient and be cautious.

If seller is willing to go to a AD, you got nothing to lose. I'd jump on it before someone else does. If you don't, I will. That's the truth. Word up.

To the OP: See what a great opportunity you have? People are willing to jump left and right and if you do not take the deal, then we'll all jump on you, and perform our own TRF gang initiation ritual to talk some sense into you

So go for it dude-- Your sub is waiting..otherwise we'll all be waiting in the parking lot!

Gary Busey · 31 October 2011, 01:19 AM

ok will do!

sea-dweller · 31 October 2011, 01:22 AM

If it's legit, that is a great deal.

Rags · 31 October 2011, 01:27 AM

If the seller is willing to go to an AD to have it authenticated & everything checks out you better grab it. An opportunity like that doesn't come around that often.

cgjane · 31 October 2011, 01:38 AM

The economy is still in tatters, I would buy it if an AD authenticates it.

Plus ask if you can draw a Bill of Sale.

BUBBLEMAN · 31 October 2011, 01:39 AM

I would take him up on the offering- but make sure you bring it to an AD of YOUR choice for inspection. Just because the outside of the watch looks legit doesnt mean that the movement is 100%. Have them pop the case back off and inspect the movement to. Ale sure that all components are original or at least OEM replacements. The extra time and or money involved with a good inspection is the best insurance you can buy IMHO....

Good luck!
