Icon5 Did I get a deal, pay too much or just about right?

So, I was curious. What amount does the 14203 TT ND sell for on the used market? Curious to as if I got a deal, paid too much, or paid just about right. In good condition...running flawlessly, keeping exact time according to time.gov... all links included, box, no papers.



Thanks!

if you already purchased it and are happy with it, then don't think about it, just enjoy it!

BTW, looks nice!

Oh, I'm in love... - Ready to add more Rolex to the collection... regardless even if I did overpay (which according to Google search, I did not - but this is "online store" pricing...) I'm still happy, but, if I got in on it for a little less than what I should have, that would be the cherry on the sundae.

Best,
Timothy

Good advice!


As long as you didn't pay waaaay too much who cares. I know for a fact that if shopped around I could have gotten a better deal on a couple of my watches but I fell in love and I wanted them right then and there.

There is always a bit of buyers remorse and second guessing but let it go and enjoy your watch.

Yeah Tim, I wouldn't know what you'd pay in the US, but I'd say if you had a good transaction and are happy with it then that's the most important thing.

Don't drive yourself nuts looking on the web for "possible" better deals.

Great looking watch

Thanks for your responses! Yeah, she's a beauty... especially in the right lighting, the sun, etc. I also love when I pull into my garage or enter a dim room, she just glows... Very comfortable, too.

That's a classy looking watch. $$$ comes and goes, but a Rolex will last a lifetime.

Best advice for sure.

Did you pay too much? Probably not, sounds like you did your research and went in as an educated buyer.

When I took it to my local AD to get it fitted, they also did a one-over polish on it. Offered to pay, they declined, gave me a comp soda while I waited and handed me the gold President out of the case to try on, out of all of the watches... offered me a discount before I could get it on.

She could use a full polish (to be absolutely perfect!) but, I don't want to be without for three weeks (they do everything in-house) - Maybe once I get a second Rolex...

Just enjoy it! I understand the "cherry" concept, but to accurately estimate your deal you would need to decide how much the smile you get when you look at it is worth. As the commercial says, priceless!

Oh, I am! I would have gladly paid more than I did, even if it was over the "value" - I've always and forever wanted a black dial/gold Rolex. Even before I got my Cadillac (which the watch matches perfectly, black/gold trim!)

The major problem with owning just one Rolex, is your desire to get another more expensive model.

Once you start collecting Rolex you just cannot stop that fire. I think it is a Rolex virus of some kind.

As long as you are smilling that is all that matters.
