Good deal? Would you buy it?

[broham]

Adding to this sort of question/thread as well.

I have an opportunity to buy the following. They are asking 3500 obo.

I'll need to get pics but it is very nice and was infrequently worn.

Year: 1990
Oyster Perpetual Datejust is stainless steel / 18k gold, with white "repetitive Rolex logo" dial. Comes with original box, papers/certificate, manuals, original tags, etc. Serial puts it at a 1990 production year. They purchased it from the original owner sometime last year.

#51814 - Rolex Oyster Perpetual (QuickSet) 18K/SS DateJust With White 'Jubilee' Dial & Matching 18K/SS Jubilee Bracelet

You all are so knowledgeable i would like your thoughts.

thanks

It seems fair...

Any pics?

Advice I've read on here many times is "buy the seller". The price certainly seems reasonable but it's very important to have confidence in who the seller is. The reason I'm not a fan of places like EBay is that you can't see the watch in person first. What I like about buying a watch from a trusted seller here on TRF is that you are geneally given a few days to review the watch and return it if it's not as was described. Good luck with your Rolex quest and please post pics when you pull the trigger. Welcome to TRF!

i will be able to meet at a rolex jeweler to be assured it is valid.

Impossible to answer the question without actual pictures of the actual watch, specs are meaningless.

I think it's a "Jubilee" dial, maybe?

[broham]

i'll try to get pics today. The info i gave in the post is what i've been told. The link is for reference to the same watch. It looks new and hasn't been worn but sat in a safe. I'm just trying to see if i'm on the right track.

i understand pics are important

With all due respect, this is just my .02.

You are really excited about buying a watch you have never seen.

Slow down.

i've seen it, in person, you have not, hence i'll get the pics soon.

[TimeToGo]

probably means one of these type dials...

I can almost guarantee you that Brian was not trying to be disrespectful when he said to slow down. We've seen plenty of people get burned. He was trying to help. Just my .02 cents.

sorry man, just re read what i posted, sounded like a dick. Wasn't mean that way but sure does come off that way. apologies.

Meant that i've seen it in person / pics and you guys haven't seen the pics yet since i have to get back to the guy to snap them...

if you can refer to the link i posted that is the exact watch and i'll hopefully have pics soon for you all to review.

I think it's overpriced by at least $500

Depending on condition, I would say about $1K...
