Just wondering if price of about $13K for a James Bond sub without crown gurard is resonable or not, condition is average.

jedly1 · 13 May 2011, 11:48 AM

which model...a james bond sub is a big crown sub ..and 13.5k is very veyr very cheap...lately i notice some sellers using the term when talking about small crown subs ...which do you mean ?

and even then it is almost impossible to say without pictures

gtb5 · 13 May 2011, 11:57 AM

Thanks, supposed to be a big crown without crown guard, and the small crown in my mind not considered to be really Bond. I will have to go and see the watch at the shop so just wondering if price is resonable of course provided it's genuine.

$13.5k for a Big Crown Sub is very very very very cheap as Jed said. Let's see some pics of her.....

YetiBiker · 13 May 2011, 12:20 PM

Pictures please. Would help tremendously. But, 13.5K for a "big crown" is very very very suspect.

gtb5 · 13 May 2011, 12:29 PM

Yeah that's what I thought price is quite low, and not even one being sold on ebay now. So what do you guys think should be a normal price?

hennabav · 13 May 2011, 12:42 PM

Is it a private seller or a dealer? B/c that would be insane pricing if you can get a big crown for that much!!

This guy has a vintage shop and I have bought a $4K 5513 from them before and authenticated from Rolex.

Looking forward to pics!

It might just be a situation of the seller not knowing what he has really. Or, the watch might not be legitimate. Post some pics, and maybe we can help

not a bard price for what i've seen them go for... be great to see some snaps

The last Big Crown I saw sell sold from my friend Ben who many of you know--he sold a 2,line 6538 in very nice condition for $115,000--slight difference in price! That was this past week and watch was posted on TZ and right here on our own TRF!!

Not me!! I have my 4 line 6538--far more rare and in super minty condition! Don't need 2 BC's unless of course the other was a 6200 with 3-6-9 dial!

I figured that you just needed a back-up daily beater.
