Would you buy a seven year old "new" watch or a four year old excellent condition watch. $300 difference in price.

I've not yet bought a used watch and still a little leery of it. It is a discontinued model.

Jannal · 2 May 2013, 08:14 AM

There's nothing wrong buying used watches, better value for your money.
If money not an issue, buy new.

Thatguy · 2 May 2013, 08:14 AM

Newer one as long as it is truly excellent condition.

SWISSAHOLICS · 2 May 2013, 08:17 AM

For a small difference, I vote for the new old stock

nauticajoe · 2 May 2013, 08:18 AM

With only a $300 spread, I'd go NOS.

beshannon · 2 May 2013, 08:18 AM

Cannot answer the question.

Are they identical models?

Andrés G · 2 May 2013, 08:18 AM

Nos

x2.

If they are identical I would go with the NOS.

Cru Jones · 2 May 2013, 08:24 AM

By NOS, I'm assuming it comes with the 2-year warranty?

If so, no doubt NOS.

Even without the warranty, the price is close enough that I'd go NOS.

Urosfan · 2 May 2013, 08:25 AM

Nos

luvsub · 2 May 2013, 08:31 AM

if only pay 300 dollars more, I will take NOS.

Same model.

Same well respected trusted seller has both.

NOS, as you know the history - none.

RRGHOST1 · 2 May 2013, 09:01 AM

Like anything in life, history is everything. Unless you know about the used one, it could have been spinning on a watch winder for most of its life wearing itself out, it might not be true but it could have been. If its been serviced recently, no problem, so i'm not saying don't ever buy a used watch its just IMO the NOS will be the better buy in this case. I bought the Pepsi in my avatar and it was 6 years old with full stickers on,no problems.

LA_LEC · 2 May 2013, 10:36 AM

New Old Stock

You have no idea of the history of the used watch BUT you KNOW the other watch is new!

A 2 year difference is NOTHING in the life of a Rolex watch!

Lucky777 · 2 May 2013, 10:51 AM

For that little of a savings I'd elect for new

zion_rasta · 2 May 2013, 10:59 AM

New!

buke45 · 2 May 2013, 11:10 AM

rodrob59 · 2 May 2013, 11:42 AM
