Rolex Gold Sub Evaluation
I'm looking at this watch, gold sub, N serial number, 1990's vintage, no box or papers, recently serviced & polished, priced at 12,500. Looks like a good price.
It would be an online PayPal purchase, can't physically inspect the watch, too far away. Would appreciate your opinions on this watch, experts please chime in. Thanks |

Little bit over polished for my liking (the near non existent crown on the clap kills it for me) but the price is fair at 12.5. If you could live with it go for it.

It's definitely seen some polishing and has service hands. Price isn't horrible though.

You must replace the SS springbars with proper original YG springbars.It looks "dirty" with the SS springbars.

Price doesn't seem out of line for what it is, but it's been polished too hard for my liking.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate your help. Going to pass on this one, but the price really got my attention.
