I don't know if is a good price..

Today I went to the mall and on one window there were some pre loved watches, I spotted a sub TT, which I believe the ceramic one, on black for 5500 UK sterling, which catch my attention, then I went to the AD and the very same one was for 8450 new. So made me wonder is it a good price? Should I go for it?
I never consider the TT sport Rolex I always been attracted to the SS ones

Hmm let me think, 5,500 versus 8,500 + tax, tough choice.

[B]I was there the other week checked out the AD and across the centre a jewlery store with pre owned Rolex watches in the window

They have just started doing pre owned hoping to take some business off the AD. The watch you saw I also had on my wrist as well :) it is an older model 16613 I think it is a 1991 model with no box & papers scratched bezel and a bit scruffy
The guy was nice enought to talk to and had a good knowlage of watches but prices were mad !! .

Worth a second look for sure. If it is the newer model go for it (if you want/like it)

Anything under £6K is a good price. Id like to get a TT GMTc for under £6K if I can.

New list price is £8,950 so £5,500 is a very fair price for a used one, but only if it is the newer model (116613). If it's a 16613 then that's too much (IMO).

I only caught it by chance after I had finished looking in FH the Mrs popped across the Mall to look at some rings and there was a small selection of pre owned Rolex watches. I spied the TT sub thought it was too dear but maybe worth having a word and introducing myself

Watch was a bit scruffy and was told they are getting them from one of the UK's biggest suppliers of pre owned watches :) I asked about a SS Daytona there was one in the safe pre owned for £8500
