Once again - virtually useless photos. Dial ain't exactly pretty. And that is close to 9K bucks. Personally, I'd stumble away from it as well.

Ditto. I love patina, but I don't like dirty hour markers. For the money, you can do better. Good luck in your search!

Vincent as usual many thanks!! seems good ones are in high demand!!!
Just called the 'oldwatchshop' in the uk as that was on the threads as a good seller but nothing coming in. Looks like I may be keeping the seadweller longer than I thought!!!

If you hear of any then please let me know!

will do - it takes time, and don't limit yourself to UK dealers, or it may take a very, very long time!

It's the tax implications when buying from the US and also the risk factor from not being able to physically see the watch, but if you can recommend a good dealer than I would be more than happy to have a look!!

Thanks Vincent!!

I work out a lot in Basel so if there are any shops round that way or Zurich I can get to them a bit easier!

Come to Hong Kong, you'll probably save enough money to pay for your ticket and then some. Dozens of used Rolex shops here.
