Tips on buying first watch (submariner)

[aaron123]

Best advice I received is to buy the seller not the watch. If you do that you are sure to get a quality piece. While the newer SubC watches are great, you might want to look at a D or F serial 16610. All the modern features such as Luminova, SELs, etc. These dates from around 2003-2005 and based on ones that have sold on the board, you can pick them up for a very responsible price. I would also make sure the watch has been properly serviced as directed by Rolex. Trusted sellers are the way to go. With all the high quality counterfeits out there today I would be very leery buying from an unknown seller without a track record. Good luck!
