Price Difference between new and preowned mint condition

Hi all,

Can I check if anyone had a feel how much is the price difference between a new Sub C and a preowned one in mint condition?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forum!

As others have said, the FS Section. Also check the Bay and of course there is always Retail.

You can't post in the FS section. Folks are only suggesting that you look there so you can get an idea of what a mint Subc sells for.

There is no set price on a used watch, so the difference from that and MSRP for a new one can vary quite a bit...

$200 to $600 is a SWAG. It really is all over the map. One factor is when the card is dated. A watch that is mint, but has a year of mileage on it, probably will be lower then one purchased a couple of weeks ago. Mint is subjective, and that is why I appreciated grading standards such as those on TZ. Mint may not be as mint as one expects when they closely examine. With new, well...... its new. Some like that "new watch smell". However, it all depends on what buyer and seller agree to.

I think you have to factor in Date purchased also.

There should be a substantial price difference if you do not get the security of a purchase from an AD. That said, the Trusted TRF sellers are the most secure choice for a non-AD purchase because of their service, expertise and hard won reputation.
