Sub Mariner 16610

Hi I am looking to upgrade to a Submariner and have been looking at a Website Lux-24, Is anybody aware of this site? are they a trusted seller? I would really appreciate your feedback.

hmmm! saw that but can find nothing more revealing, there seems to be a lot of positive information and customer reviews? I think I need to dig a bit deeper to find out more about these guys. It's an impressive site with good technical.

thanks Happy new year

Ray,

What do you find attractive about this site?

You may want to check into DavidSW, Oscar "bodybump" in the classified section here at TRF as well. Good product / good prices.

Buy it here!!! Less hassle. Try looking at Tony (justrolexes) and David (DavidSW). I dealt with them personally. There are also Greg (mosco) Oscar (bodybump), and many more, just go the"who's who" section.

Site is a scam. You should stick to the classifieds here at TRF. I'm hoping to obtain a 116610 in the next couple months....and if I do my sub 16610 m series will be going up for sale there first! Good luck on getting your new watch!

Ray....Ray....Ray,

Ask TRF members for help. You get good advice and you still want to dig deeper????? Trust the people on this site. I've never seen anyone here call a SCAM if it's not a scam. Don't be mesmerized buy the shinny images. Run or you'll be flushing your money.

Just by looking at the price I already know it's a scam. A brand new Sub. 116610 for $3,320.00? Are you kidding me? I believe that these are Russian Mafia.

It has been documented over and over that this site is a complete scam. The fact that you have already been warned and continue to investigate them as legit, makes me wonder what the heck you are thinking. Buy from a AD or someone from a watch forum that has plenty of referals and don't even risk it.

what is the price difference between your online site of interest and a local AD?

are we dealing with the equivalent of $100-300 dollars?

why not buy from a local AD?

what do you currently own?
