Unless you trust the seller and get proper Providence for any Red sub I would be very careful.If I was going to buy any Red sub it would only be person to person and pre checked by Rolex, to see if it was a genuine Red and not a re-dial..

As mentioned by Padi56, just be very careful, there's been a lot of funny stuff with vintage as of late. Buy the seller.

Good luck.

Easy to get burned. You have to bet on the sellers rep big time. Even then their are no guarantees. Goodluck!

Worldly Watches is also a seller I trust:

Also, in general there's usually a few power sellers on ebay that have Red Subs, with enough creditability they're likely a safe bet. Be weary of clever wording however.

The reason so many of us suggest Steve is his rep is second to non when dealing with vintage watches. Also, he is adept at shipping to foreign countries. And, as all of us here in TX know, if it's north of the Red River or east of the Sabine, the only thing between us and the North Pole is barbed wire.
