What do the experts think of this Red Sub full set?
Price is high, but how's it look? No shots of the crown guards head on. Anybody know this seller?

I think it's been discussed on here before too so I'm sure someone will point you the right way. You're right though, price seems a lot but its all there so....? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD |

That's on the steep side regardless of box/papers.

Certainly a nice MK4, but even if it's quite rare to find such a complete set, the price is way to high.
.....on the other hand, it might drive prices up if someone pays the price. |

Does look like a great piece. Better shots of the lugs would be a must for me. I know everyone will say the price looks high but think about how many times a year you see a full set like this. Once... Twice... Maybe. Plus it's open to offers. Just my 2 cents

I think it's too much money. Nice set, but the watch is the important bit. I can see enough of the insert, CGs and case to know it would not be for me, regardless of the other superfluous stuff.

The date wheel has been replaced, I would like better pics of the clasp as well.

Can anyone comment on the polishing on the case i.e if it has good bevel edges and a thick case? I think you will need close up pics. Also sideon pics of the crown guards are quite important I would think just in case they are uneven or polished sharp. Maybe he can send you some more closeup macro pics? Looks like a nice red though!

The stamped fonts on the warranty paper are correct for that vintage warranty paper. I would like to see the inside of the vinyl folio as it looks later, but it is hard to make a call from the photo. I can't see much else with this one.
