Need Advice: Looking to buy a 18K GMT II-C Rolex

[isolentmink]

Hi, wanted to know if I could get some feedback from fellow Rolex/watch collectors. I am considering buying a GMT II-C Rolex in solid 18K with a black or green face. My two questions are:

1). Am I getting a good deal at $14,800 for a watch with box and papers?

2.) What color is preferred? Is the green "anniversary" edition more desirable and valuable?

Thanks for all your help!

I almost pulled the trigger on one myself a couple of years ago. 14,800 is not a bad price at all if the watch is a Z serial or newer especially. As far as the dial goes, I think it's all preference. Odds are that neither will end up being a collector's item down the road or anything so just get what you personally want.

The serial number would be a "M" year so late 2007 I think, originally purchased in late 2008

Thanks for the advice, please keep it coming!....

Between $14,000 to $15,000 is not bad as long as it is from a reputable dealer. I've seen it as low as $12,800 before shipping and paypal fees but it was from someone that is unknown. Stick with reputable dealers so at least you know what you're getting into.
