Sorry...is this a watch or a car?
OK,
So I'm looking to buy my first Rolex (16610 Sub Date around late 90s early 2000s if anyone's got one out there) and from various email chains and conversations I'm starting to wonder whether I'm buying a watch or a car!  Seriously, I'm asking stuff like... - How old is it? - How many owners has it had? - What service history has it got? - Why are you selling it? ...just as I would with any car - for a watch!  Anyway, I just thought I'd share that with the group. I'm sure you guys have often thought the same when you've been in the market! Chris |

When I buy cars I don't ask that many questions.

Don't forget to ask for proof of ownership, a.k.a., "papers" or we call "pink slip" in car ownership.
