NEED Help purchased a new SUB

[jtrader]

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted anything for a while. Been pretty busy. Anyway's my local Ben Bridge dealer called me to let me know they were having their annual used swiss watch sale.The guy called yesterday since he knew I was looking to posiblly buy a used Sub No date. So I went in as soon as I could so that I could get first dibs. The Sub is in good shape, I'm pretty sure it's a 14060..3000 movment..circa1989-1999..1000feet. It doesn't have the COSC on the face Which makes it a bit rare. It's had an overhaul. There's a few small blemishes on the braclet and case, as well as a scratch on the left side of the bezel. So the only thing it may need is a new bezel and maybe a new crystal. The watch was being sold for $3,500. It comes with a one year in house waranty from BB. Which is a pretty good deal for a rolex sports watch. The only thing is for some reason when you buy a used watch from Ben Bridge at one of these events u don't get the box's and papers that would normally come with a watch like that. But since Ben Bridge is a rolex dealer they guarantee the used watches to be authentic. I decided to put a deposit down on the watch and it's mine as long as I want it.

But I also went over to another Jewler who's more of a Grey Dealer. They buy used Rolex's, and Rehaul em. I found a 2005 Sub dweller that's in excellent condition with the boxes and pappers for $4,450.00 with a one year waranty. I've done buisness with them before and they also guarantee their products as well.

So on my way home I realized that If I keep the Sub No Date from BB with out the box and papers. I'll prob wind up pouring another $250 to $500 on this watch sometime in the future (new bezel, crystal, minor over haul on the case and bracelet). Which I'm not sure is actually a good deal in the end.

My main question for those of you who know better than me. Is this a good deal since it's a more saught after timepiece but may need a little work. Especially if I decide to sell it in the future. Or should I get my money back and get the used sea dweller that's a little more expensive and common, but doesn't need any work and also comes with the box's and papers.
