-Date 2003 - NOS - Value ? Opinions pls

[GeoGio Greece]

Today I was offered a NOS, never worn, Date , with midnight blue dial, polished steel bezel, with Oyster bracelet, Serial F 88xxxx, which places it in Sep 2003, with non stamped yet punched certificates and box, at a price of Euros 2.700.

Its nice and classic, but how does the value sound to you ?

I have to respond by tomorrow.

The AD sells the current model at Euros 5.300.

All opinions accepted. Thank you.

I think the price is appr. the price is the same as in 2003. I bought the same watch in Norway in 2005 and paid appr. 3.300€. I think 2.200€ is a fair price today.

Sorry. I meant 2.700€.

Thank You Bjornar. This is what I also believe. Lets not forget that it is a NOS, never worn.

I hope I get some more opinions.

sound ok for nos

Sounds good but it's not the same watch. The post 2007 Date has a super case and new machined bracelet.

Of course the older version is fine and preferred in a number of ways by some. I just wouldn't compare the two in terms of price.

For true NoS condition, that price is okay for Europe.

Most important question - do you actually love the watch? It is a 34mm right? Once you wear it, it is no longer NOS so the price adjust quickly.

Sounds good to me.

Well seeing its a F serial they ran well into 2005 possibly longer with the slow sellers like the 34mm date just because its a F serial it don't necessarily mean its from Sept 2003.

True, I dislike the new case looks. I prefer the old ones, without PCL.

And the dial, long bars, half seconds, in the midnight blue, is really nice.

Thank you for the input.

I like it, do not love it. I love Subs and GMT's

Second point taken seriously into consideration. Thanks

Peter, I just looked at the posted tables, so you may be true.

On the other had, it is an 888 watch, which means Hong Kong, Greece has 200, so it may have been moved around until it is sold.

This does not affect value or warranty, but still a parameter to consider.

Its not an every day find, a NOS at used watch price, so I was attracted.

I took an option to answer tomorrow, so ..............no sleep tonight
