Icon20 Did I over pay for my Rolex Sub date?

I just bought it a few weeks ago for the SALE PRICE of $4,700 USD. + (sales tax of %8 percent). TOTAL $5,087.75 (it came with a 90 day warranty)

lets just count the sale price of $4,700 usd. since sales tax doesnt count (lol).

the watch does not have box/papers and no rolex service papers either so chances are its never been FULLY serviced...but the watch is in great condition except for a couple of scratches on the bezel...the bracelet is in great condition, overall the watch looks in great condition...and i just noticed that it is + 6 seconds per day so its a little fast, but i can live with it being +6seconds fast.

this pawn shop has the best reputation in town for selling authentic Rolex Watches for over 15 years. so i was afraid to buy from Craigslist.com or ebay.com or anywhere else for that matter.....nowadays its scary how many fake Rolex watches are being sold.

The price tag for the Rolex submariner i got was originally $5,500 and i knocked the price down all the way to $4,700 USD + sales tax so i negotiated with the pawn shop employee. I did not want to shop around too much since i was desperate for the Rolex submariner. The pawn shop told me that they put a lot of work into the watch, i just did not ask what type of work....i think they polished it since it was super clean.

I attached the photos of the watch so you all can see the condition and etc....

I plan to sell the watch in 5-10 years from now so i can get a newer Submariner by then.

i am really enjoying the watch, i wear it everyday and treat it with care. thanks for reading and commenting.

I JUST HATE THE FACT OF PAYING 4 OR 5 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND TRUSTING A COMPANY TO SHIP ME AN AUTHENTIC ROLEX SUB,,,I JUST COULD NOT RISK IT, IMAGINE YOU PAY FOR A ROLEX WATCH AND THEY DO NOT EVEN SHIP YOU ANYTHING, THAT IS SCARY....THIS IS WHY I HAD TO BUY IT AT THE BEST REPUTATION PAWN SHOP IN SOUTH TEXAS. I COULD NOT AFFORD A NEW SUB SO I SETTLED FOR A GREAT CONDITION USED SUB....
