Pre-owned Sea Dweller or Sub Anniversary?
3 questions:
1- Pre-owned older Sea Dweller or older Sub Anniversary? 2- Good place to buy pre-owned? 3- Would you prefer to have original box and papers or no box or papers but receive 100% purchase price on a future upgrade? Thanks, AP12 |

1. Pick the watch you want to wear; I don't like green so my choice would be the SD.
2. Who knows ? Price and condition of the watch are the key to a good purchase 3. You can't wear "box and papers", but the chances that your watch will only be worth "100% of purchase price" is slim to none on either a Sub or SD, so that is a non-issue at purchase.

I'm going for the anniversary on this one solely because I'm a big fan of green. It's a very close call though with no bad decision to be made.

I thought I would love the Anniversary but then I found the green just NOT right for most occasions and flipped it right away. SD is a timeless classic you will never get tired of.

1- SD
2- Here? 3- I prefer box/papers... It gives me paper trail to the watch .. I don't care what anyone says, having box / papers reduces the risk of buying a stolen watch and increases your ability to sell it down the road if needed.. Box/papers + watch always sell for more and faster.. Unless the watch is 30+ years old, I don't really see why it would be missing box/papers... Who buys a $4000+ watch and throws away the box and warranty papers? B&P reduces the risk that you're buying a shady watch... This is IMO of course..

Never had an issue with the green bezel looking out of place. The older LV sub was a relatively short production run of 7 years.
Both are great watches, only you can decide. I personally would want box and papers. There are plenty of LV Subs and SD's out there from good sellers that come complete. |

SD with box and papers. Unless you overpay it'll not lose much, if anything, over time.

Thank you all for your advice. I'm not an experienced collector, so I like to hear the opinions of experienced collectors. I appreciate it.

SD; try your local AD for preowned first so you can get a hands on look on the watch. Always opt for the box and paperwork because you never know what you might want to trade it for in the future
