Advice needed

What are you thoughts? I can buy a Z, Stainless Sub, in excellent condition from a pawn Shop with no box/papers for $3500.
Thanks!

I would look for a deal here, may cost a little more, but you'd feel better about the transaction and condition/history of the watch

Sounds like a good deal if genuine but try and get the price down a bit say cost of service.As for the box well its just box, and the papers are just that, just a bit of paper.And of no real use as warranty has now expired ,but have it serviced soon then you will have Rolex service papers.,

If a pawn shop is selling it for $3500 they probably have about $750 tied up in it...

Any time that you can get a Z serial Sub 'Date' for 3500, it's a fair deal...

..... If it's the Sub, then you might want to get a few bucks knocked off..
