Saw a really great condition Mini-Sub 73090 in town yesterday and keep thinking I should go and pick it up for the wife (who was with me and liked it).

Does anyone have any wrist shots or other pics, please? Any experiences, info or opinions would also be welcome.

My wife has a nice 73193. She loves it👍 the Mini-Sub makes a great do it all watch for a lady.

Adam,

Go for it they are a great and unique watch, they will never go down in value either so a safe bet. look forward to the incoming it is a black or blue dial?

Black. Really nice condition other than an averagely stretched bracelet. Price is about $900 which seems quite a bargain for an Oyster case with Rolex signed caseback and crown, and 200m/660ft depth rating. Looks really good on the wrist.

The watch is out being properly serviced, so no wrist shots yet. I think it is really pretty. Below compared to a standard size.

What type of bracelet?

Snag it!

Hilly10 · 5 January 2015, 05:16 AM

Go for it. My wifes Mini is her daily beater she never takes it off. Cheap to service I had it done a few months ago £150 She as had it about four years and it still looks great although its 1998 watch

dysondiver · 5 January 2015, 05:19 AM

thats a steal ,,, go for it.

Oyster type. Folded.

Thanks for the photos guys. Very nice.

Lgear080 · 5 January 2015, 08:53 AM

Is it a folded link or solid?

Still either way, grab it. $900 is low. If you can snag it for $750-800 you're likely way ahead.

Folded. Price is fixed firm. It's 925 for cash, 950 credit card. Marked diwn from 1,250.

Lgear080 · 6 January 2015, 12:43 AM

Still a deal

Brushpup · 6 January 2015, 04:55 AM

You will not likely find one at that price again anytime soon. Good but if you think she'd like it.

HogwldFLTR · 6 January 2015, 04:59 AM

Bought last year for my wife for her birthday. She likes the smaller size.

otisc · 6 January 2015, 06:33 AM

If Rolex made a black mini-Sub, my wife would never take it off!

nGage7962 · 6 January 2015, 08:06 AM

I think that TT mini sub looks absolutely gorgeous.

Lgear080 · 6 January 2015, 08:57 AM

here's one I had for a minute...

Old Expat Beast · 6 January 2015, 11:28 AM

Thanks again for input and pics. Will have to wait and see if it's still there Saturday.

skprd13 · 6 January 2015, 01:45 PM

I agree I want to get a mini sub for my wife as well Adam. Fantastic looking watches.

puravida · 6 January 2015, 02:32 PM

I picked this one up from a delaer in HK back in 2009 and paid $800 for this. My daughter love this and is her daily wearer. Refuse to give it back to her mom

Old Expat Beast · 6 January 2015, 02:38 PM

Here's a pic of the actual watch in question. Only one I could get.

JohnAndrew · 6 January 2015, 03:04 PM

Sweetie rarely wears her Rolex, since I got her this blue baby:

She gets more compliments on it, than she ever did on her ladies Rolex.

Old Expat Beast · 7 January 2015, 09:02 PM

... and it's on the wrist. Happy wife. Thanks for the input everyone.

nowzen · 8 January 2015, 10:28 PM

Here's my 73090 on my hairy wrist (hope it doesn't put her off, $900 is a great deal.

ooops, I see she got it! congrats.

Lgear080 · 9 January 2015, 12:07 AM

Looks awesome!
