Sub-date no box or papers.

[docmarioce]

I have been a member of this community for several years now and consider myself to have some knowledge about watches. I mostly buy them for me but unfortunately always end up flipping them. Currently own a 2-tone Datejust II cream dial with diamonds but I miss my sub-date. I recently sold for a low price my Sub-date C that I wasn't wearing and as expected the itch is back to get the Sub-date again. I realized I like the old style sub. The classic and I have been looking around. I want to expend no more than 5500 and the ones that I have found to be adequate don't have papers. I pretty know the answer about the resale value but I'd like to know your input.

What do you think about getting a Rolex Sub-date with no papers or box from a "reputable dealer" here in the sales forum?. I am planning to keep the watch this time and for all...
