Spotted a used LV in mint condition.

Yes, I spotted the green! It's an F series but the condition is just superb. Comes with Rolex box, original Rolex warranty papers with the date 2005 chopped, owners particulars unfilled. It's got the transparent case side decals still on and the green caseback sticker with the model code 16610 in black not faded (noticed the model code faded from my SD very soon when I removed the green decal protective plastic piece).

Was told that the previous owner only bought it and kept it in the safe.

Only thing I'm not happy about the watch is that the bezel is not 100% aligned and the coronet on the crown is facing DOWN! Any TRF members happen to be in Singapore PM me for details.

They're asking for SG$8500. How much would a used and brand new LV cost in the United States? (exchange rate SG$1.46 = US$1)

Was offered a TT blue sub again today at SG$9500 but hopefully I can reduce the price further on the blue sub.

Great find, Rodday!

I hope you get the price of the TT Blue Sub further down!

Good luck!

I'm just curious, does it really matter if the coronet on the crown is upside down. Do people actually care about this. I never even thought about mine till hanging with ya'll on this forum, now I wonder if I should be bummed mine is horizontal. I'm not bummed but should I be?

Yes, because horizontal coronet is a symbol of a fake Rolex karmatp.





























I don't used to care untill I hang around this forum too!! People here definitely bumpedd up my anal retentiveness a notch or two.

Really, who cares if the crown is facing down.


Wait. Don't answer that. I forgot I am on TRF. Bunch of WIS.

I think MSRP for a new LV in the US is still around $5,500 USD, but I've recently seen them selling for around $6,000 USD from a respected gray dealer (Alan Furman). Once I asked about selling my LV to an online dealer and was offered $4,800 USD. Mine is a Z series and in mint condition. I don't know what they would have turned around and sold it for.
