Would this be classed as a vintage?

It's the second one down, Dated 1985

Also why is this relatively cheap considering it has all papers and original box? Compared to the others on the list.

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum!

It is the oldest in the bunch. Condition is not discussed. I would be curious to see the sagging of the bracelet.

The first is a 1991sh. THe others are mid to late 2000ish.

My first concern would be the bracelet and the hour markers look like they have been re-lumed poorly.....

Naw that's not a re-lume. I've seen this before. Rolex used a paint on the dial which reacted to the tritium and caused it to flake off in later years.

It's a flaw in the production. Usually seen on AirKings, Dates, and DJs

Box and papers are not worth a lot with modern and relatively common watches.. It becomes more a selling point than a contributory factor in pricing.. Condition is paramount..

You should not by a marginal watch because it has "box and papers" if it is being compared to an excellent example without..

Guys thanks for the info.

I'll just stick with going through Mike Wood then! Bought my first from him and it's absolutely stunning.

I hate this Rolex bug.
