What do you think of this Sub?

Listed and ending soon. Does a current Sub has the holes in the case still. Here is the link on eBay.

Item # 300167979452

I have just bought a steel sub today and looking at the detailed pics and comparing with my watch it looks genuine right down to the number of holes on the clasp and where the joins are.

the papers and box all look like mine also.

Please do not take my opinion as gospel, I am just commenting from my limited experience.

Good luck!

Thanks. We will see where it goes. I need a fourth to keep my other company and I always wanted a stainless sub.

Looks authentic/legit to me. I believe the non-date sub is/was one of the last models of modern sport rolexs to still have lug holes. The listed sub is a z series which should place it around 2006, so apparently the 14060 still had lug holes in that time frame. not sure if the 14060 still has lug holes or has migtrated to the SEL yet. Most of the other sport models migrated in ~2001/2 to the SEL Solid End Link bracelets.

Correct It's the only sport watch left with Non-SEL bracelet, thus the lug holes.

Missed it by $50! I am still in the market. This one sold for $3250. I was out at dinner and I couldn't bid fast enough on my phone.

You may have gotten lucky, Jim.

Golden rule: Buy the seller, not the watch. This seller has lots of sales, but nothing over $200 - all low end junk. I wouldn't trust this one.
