My AD has a sub no-date, estate watch, for $3,800. I was wanting to wait until next year to buy my next watch. It's been there for a while, no one interested. It has all the boxes and papers. The question is should I buy it, since I wanted a sub at a great value? Or wait and find something else? I was wanting my next to be a birth year watch. Any personal opinions are welcome. Thanks!

Price seems ok...if your not in love with it now you won't be happy.

what reference is it?

Ector495 · 30 November 2013, 11:44 AM

I'm not sure the ref #. I believe it is an early 2000's. Maybe 2001-2003?

CDNWatchNut · 30 November 2013, 11:50 AM

Sounds like a fair deal, but it doesn't sound like you really want it. I'd say pass on it and get what you want.

Psmith · 30 November 2013, 11:53 AM

The watch is more important than the price, so stick to your original plan

sea-dweller · 30 November 2013, 11:53 AM

Sounds reasonable, price wise if the condition is good.

versatile1 · 30 November 2013, 12:33 PM

If you really wanted it your thread title would say
"Look what I just bought!"

polarinda · 30 November 2013, 02:50 PM

yeap, doesn't sound like you want it, even at a reasonable price. Box paper?

mattcantwin · 30 November 2013, 02:52 PM

Can the AD throw in a service, if you buy it?

vitalsignsrn · 30 November 2013, 03:05 PM

Doesn't sound like you are convinced, especially that the piece is still there. For me, if there or not, I would scoop it up if its REALLY what I wanted. ;-)

joe100 · 30 November 2013, 03:18 PM

Just because something is a good deal doesn't mean you should buy it.

1William · 30 November 2013, 11:15 PM

If it was the "watch" you would have already moved on it. Wait and you will know when the right one is available.

Very true, I've been baited into this before and regretted it. You said you want a birth year watch, this isn't it. You will still be empty after the purchase, leave it.

Cc1966 · 1 December 2013, 04:40 AM

I read the OP as asking if it's a good deal more than anything else. It's a good deal, and if that's the watch/look/features you are after...make them an offer.

ARTISAN · 1 December 2013, 06:31 AM

sounds a good deal,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you can afford it ,,,,,,buy it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you don't like it after 6 months ,,,,,,,,,flip it / px.

You say you wanted a Sub at a great value, so the opportunity presents itself earlier than expected. Have the AD service the piece, maybe squeeze a few more bucks, get it.

AK797 · 1 December 2013, 07:27 AM

A birth year watch will mean more to you and will give you a little story you can tell even to people who aren't remotely interested in watches so its worth the wait and a few extra bucks.

Ector495 · 1 December 2013, 07:30 AM

We'll update. Went to the AD and the watch was sold. Oh well. Thanks everyone for weighing in.
