Soooo...I bought this watch...you should look :))

I hesitated a loooong time before buying this watch because i did not know much about them. I researched and researched some more and came to the conclusion that I wanted it. Finally, after much back and forth negotiating we agreed on a price which made both the AD, the owner, and myself happy. Watch was on consignment hence the AD.

The goods:

A 3xxxxxx serial Red Sub. Open sixes
Watch is in top notch condition. No signs of over polishing.
Correct bracelet
From what I was told and what I can tell it's all original. The only thing that I could not confirm original is the crystal.
AD has allowed 120 Days for me to send it in to Rolex for authentication if I wish.

Includes:

All papers including original matching certificate
Original Sales receipt
Original Canadian watch (i'm in Canada)
Steel anchor
Serial matching tag
booklet
Service receipts
Even the green plastic folder has a matching serial (not sure if this is important)

not the best pics...

If it's not bad form would you mind saying what you paid for the watch. It would help those of us looking to purchase a pre-owned Rolex.

Not sure if it's bad form but i don't mind because i think i did pretty good. Watch was originally priced at 14k which was way to high. Out the door at 9.9k

If it's 100% straight, it's a great deal. I think you can even make a profit putting it in auction. Wear it in good health.
