Hello, new and looking for my first purchase
Hi I have been lurking around the fourm and really have my heart set on a 14060. However, I am getting married in 6 months and cannot currently justify the outlay of cash so am looking for something in the mean time.
Can anyone offer some advide on this watch, see attached pictures. The story is they won it and have never worn it. Comes with box, papers etc. Is this a fake? I see some online in the same colour combination. Last question, what would be a fair price to pay for this watch in unworn condition? Thanks everyone and I hope to contribute! |

Welcome. The watch looks OK but I'm no expert. Are you buying it from ebay? One rule to remember is to buy the buyer not the watch. Check references & feedback. There are plenty of watches out there, I would wait & save for the one that you want. Don't settle.

Welcoem to TRF.
You would probably tend to get more response on this watch of you posted the same question in the Rolex general discussion portion of the forum.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome.
I did post in the general discussion and surprisingly enough this is where I am getting the most replies. Maybe it is worth holding out for the 14060... that is what I really want. |

Welcome.
My suggestion is to just buy the 14060, you will not regret it. Current prices range from low $3000 for the watch only to $4500 LNIB for pre-owned to $5500 BNIB on TRF. Current MSRP at AD is $6300 plus tax. If you dont care about accessories, you can get a nice gently used Sub for about $3500 |
