Greetings everyone!
So glad I found this forum!
I am searching for a Blue Face SUB. I currently have a SS Date Just I have had since new in 1986 - and just love it. Also have a Silver Tiffany Classic style that I hardly wear and a Gold Hamilton I inherited but do not know much about them. It sits in the safe.
I found the forum when I googled Bernard Watches and saw reviews on them. I have looked at their inventory since a friend bought from them. I looked a wallachs watches - but they do not answer phones, or reply to email so I assume stay away! My question is should I search for a mint blue face sub used - or buy new? I can honestly go either way - but need advice. Am I corrdct that the prices are not that far apart? Can I find a "new" sub for 8K ? Sorry to ramble - I type like I talk. Any help would be great! Thanks and keep up the great site!
-Bill

Welcome! Check the classified For Sale section here, and you'll get a good idea of pricing for new and pre-owned.

Good luck in your search!

I got my Bluesy from bodybump here on TRF and saved a chunk of change, you should have the same luck. Good luck finding yours!

Welcome. You can find a brand new sub c for under 8k but it won't be blue. The only new blue face and dial sub is the white gold model for $15k or so and up, preowned. (you can get a two tone sub for around 8 or 9k with a blue dial and bezel)
Welcome to the forum, any points Im wrong on will be corrected shortly.

Thanks guys! I will definitely check out the sellers on here, as reading the posts it sure seems like I will not have any problems. I am itching to find one!!! I wish it was the one for 15K that Mjclark32 mentioned - but maybe another time after I hit the mega..... LOL

Have you considered a TT? I got a beautiful one for under $5k on here. True, it was 20 years old and not minty, but in excellent condition after a few weeks you'll have scratches and wear on it anyway.
