Is it possible to buy a GMT or Sub (under 15yrs old and in resonably good condintion) for around $4000? On ebay, RT, ADs, pawn shops? Anyone have luck doing this?.....Nubie here, thanks for your thoughts.

Sure, that's very possible. However, as the price gets lower you also move further away from safe (or trusted) sellers. This increases your risk in getting a fake. The mantra "buyer be ware" was never more appropriate than when it comes to buying watches.

Welcome to TRF.

I think it is possible, but remember your more than likely going to have to to get it serviced no matter what you pay for it. This will make the overall cost a bit higher. A Sub ND might be your best bet.

Possible if you don't mind hollow end links, but you should budget in a service visit. Starting price tends to be closer to $4300.

Yes you can easily with some work.
In the last 6 months I've bought the following
14060m $3000.Craigslist
14060 $3200 TRF
14060. $3200 eBay
I also got a 16610 for $4200 Local AD
and a 1680 for $2500 Craigslist
I bought a SD 4000 for $3300 here on TRF as well

Deals are out there but you've got to be quick
