It shows wear with a minor edge ding on case; all else in order (boxes, paperwork, BOS, etc.). Last maintained in '06. Is $4300 reasonable? Looking at my first Rolex. Interested in opinions towards purchase tomorrow.

Thanks,

Lee

Welcome to the Forum!

All depends on condition, you say its an 04 and serviced in 06 ?!

A picture would go a long way..

Check our for sale section and compare prices / condition.

Yes, the bezel wouldn't rotate so it was sent in for service. Can't really tell much from the pictures but I did look at the watch today. It should polish up nicely. Regardless here are the pictures.

It has a lot of wear.
If you are purchasing at a store, + tax, and considering it will need a polish and most likely an overhaul soon, you are looking at the high $4Ks. Hard to tell where the ding is.
I would say the price is on the high end.

It is a purchase from the origninal owner. Yes, time for a service no doubt. Clean-up is optional. Not tax on this one so the price would be pretty much it plus what I can get it serviced for.

OK, I let it go; wrote the owner this evening. Thanks for the help.

Going back through some of my earliest posts and thinking about how much things have changed; I'd jump on this in less than a heartbeat today!!!

The first Rolex I ever handled was the original Sub LV around 2009 at a Torneau. I had recently purchased my first nice watch, a co-axial "Bond" Seamaster and couldn't believe they wanted $6k for something with a bracelet that felt like it was lifted from a $200 Seiko.

Still my favorite watch of all time though. The new ceramic LV is nice, but I prefer the 5 digit Sub size and the much more saturated green color of the aluminum bezel.

My first post 15 years ago was about Sub (16610) vs. SD (16600). I went with something else to save myself some money. Lord how I wish I'd just bought both (plus a Pepsi GMT).
