If I could flip it to make a profit,sure. But it would have to be at least $1k under priced.

SohAIS · 6 June 2013, 06:32 AM

buy it. Its a very good deal to pass up.

shoppy · 6 June 2013, 06:38 AM

Yes many a time, nothing like grabbing a bargain. It's the thrill of the chase, but I always make sure it's something I like.

If you read the thread you'll find he did.

AK797 · 6 June 2013, 08:45 AM

Id get the mvmnt checked just to be sure its not too good of a deal.

threemonkeys · 6 June 2013, 08:48 AM

Yes. I knew I could re-sell that same day and make a nice profit. Still have the watch, though.

zak98 · 6 June 2013, 08:53 AM

A friend of mine is offering $100 bills for $75 and I think I'll go for it.

LMAO!!!!

Definitely get it!

kngzfrd · 6 June 2013, 09:35 AM

Btw: congrats!!

Lucky777 · 6 June 2013, 09:39 AM

Bought my AK for that reason. I would buy no questions asked

Nycturbovr6 · 6 June 2013, 09:43 AM

Go for it!

Doctorsti · 6 June 2013, 09:44 AM

I bought a milguass black dial version one time because it was like 5 grand or something in 2010. I ended up loving it but from pics thought I would love the GV more. I flipped the black dial for my price plus paypal fees or so and bought a GV which I didn't care for and flipped it immediately and think I may have lost money.

I also bought a A serial sub in perfect condition for like 3.5K because it was a good deal. I ended up absolutely loving it on a nato but flipped it for a small profit but anytime I can buy a watch, wear it for a few months, appreciate it and determine how it fits in with my collection and rotation and then sell it for either a small profit or break even after all the fees it's a huge WIN for me. Like renting some luxury item and being paid to rent it.

Good move. Congrats!

Does a new in box Daytona 116520 steel with white face at $10,800 USD including tax fall in to the must buy it category?

crowncollection · 7 June 2013, 03:07 PM

yes many, those are the best kind of buys, if you can flip it and have the funds available to buy a vastly underpriced original rolex, why would you not.

jgoodm · 7 June 2013, 03:12 PM

Well, this one became more of a... 'Gee my current daytona is worth $8600 if I sold it now. It also needs an $800 service. So in theory I'm in to it for $9,400. Do I spend an extra $1,400 and get a brand new one instead and not do the service.' ;-)

RolexDivers · 7 June 2013, 03:23 PM

Yes, 4yrs ago... got an opportunity to buy literally brand new SD16600, with full paperwork and imaculate shape for $4500 each ... so I bought two wthin 4 months...

vintagewaferthin · 7 June 2013, 09:02 PM

3k is a great deal!

double post sorry

jenniferjanef · 8 June 2013, 03:42 AM

Bought a TT GMTIIC for my FIL and shortly after, the AD called me to ask if I am interested in buying one more TT GMTIIC but with a twist, this particular watch was a gift and never used, its less than 2 months old and still with all stickers attached... Come with all boxes and card and manual ala the full set.. For the asking price of slightly below USD7K.. I CANNOT resist! I bought it immediately on the spot.. I was however disappointed to find that the date wheel stuck on certain days of the month, so I send the watch back to RSC, within an hour, all fixed with the assurance from RSC that the watch is in perfect condition.

Below, I share a photo of the above mentioned GMTIIC with casual NATO strap. Didnt want to post a pic with the OEM bracelet since it is very common here.

Cheers and HAGWE!!

redmess · 8 June 2013, 11:48 AM

Yes. That's why the wife was three Rolex watches.

landroverking · 8 June 2013, 10:36 PM

Yes

Sherwooddavid · 8 June 2013, 10:59 PM

Yup ! The Tudor Chrono sport I just bought.
I got a call from my local AD that they were starting renovations and everything had to go and they were offering 40% off selected Tudors. I had just bought an Omega that week and had no intention of buying another watch for a while but this was just too good of a deal to turn down.
The Tudor Chrono sport was on my wish list so my wife bought it for me as a Father's Day gift !

Z-Sub · 9 June 2013, 01:48 AM

as long as you know it's legit then

watchf · 9 June 2013, 03:22 PM

Why is the seller selling it for that price?
