Looking to buy for Christmas. Need help on price.

I am looking to purchase a 31mm date just with a mother of pearl diamond dial and factory diamond bezel on jubillee. I was just quoted 16,500 for this watch. Is this a good price?

Given that he's seeking a diamond dial and bezel, he probably knows that.

Is this a full YG piece? New? Used? Pics?

Is 16,500 a decent price for this, or am I being ripped? Any help is appreciated.

Check chrono24 for prices, to get a feel for what they are going for on the grey market.

Seems a bit high. You can get a 31mm SS Datejust in good condition (granted, no diamonds) for under 4k. DavidSW has a 31mm SS Datejust with diamonds for sale for under 10k right now, but it's probably not the same diamond bezel. Plus govberg jewelers has this one for less than half the price you mentioned:

So this is the exact watch I'm looking at. The price was also quoted from an authorized dealer.

Suggest you contact one of the more well known sellers on TRF. I'm sure they can get you a better price. And yeah...16.5K seems high.

16.5k is after taxes and etc?
It's pretty high for a SS
I thought that was the TT range on a bigger size
