Possible 16750 purchase advice please.

[japenney]

So the owner of my local Rolex AD has a friend who wants him to sell his 16750 for him so he can buy a blnr. The 16750 in question was purchased new by this person in 1988 so it has only a single owner, it is a 9million serial. The watch has been recently serviced by Rolex and I have been assured the dial and hands are original. It comes with full box and papers. Knowing the situation and if everything checks out, do you think $6000usd is a fair price? I will not be able to see it and take pictures until Saturday but I am anxious for input.

Cheers,

Josh

You'd need to post photos of the watch and full set to get informed opinions, but based on your description, yes, I'd say it sounds like a fair deal.

I concur on all accounts. Look on chrono24 and see what they are going for? Is it complete with box and papers?

Yes box and papers with the person's name on papers. I can be assured of accurate history and authenticity as it is coming from a reliable friend of my AD.

The watch would be worth substantially more than $6,000 if it is in good condition and it has the proper accessories and warranty paper included. It's hard to make a completely informed opinion without seeing some photos of the watch.

Good luck!

Complete and documented 16750, pay up if need be. If they need $6000 to put a deal together and you can get it for that take it and run. If you don't DM me and I want a shot at it.

Look forward to the pics.

Man, if you don't buy it.....send it my way. I would 😉. But of course pics are integral, but it's sounds like a very good deal.

A fair deal.
The range imo is $5-6.5. Any more than that, it should be an exceptional piece.
