First luxury watch
Hello, I'm new to the watch game but I have big aspirations (maybe too big). I am looking at buying a G series 14060m sub for about 9500 USD from Watchbox. They say it was serviced in July 2019 and is in "excellent condition". Is that a fair price?
I'm also buying from overseas and the watch would be shipped to someone I trust until I get home in a few months. Should I wait to buy when I'm able to receive the watch and inspect it myself, or is Watchbox reputable enough for me to trust I'm not getting conned? I really appreciate any input! |

Hi Jake, welcome to the forum
I’d check pricing for comparable Subs on Chrono24 just to get a sense. There are also a number of great trusted sellers listed in our forum that you could reach out to. Watchbox is a reputable seller FWIW. Good luck |

Thanks for the response! It seems like a pretty reasonable price for an excellent condition watch with box/papers.

Hi Jake! Check some of the reputable grey dealers here, they're awesome. I would recommend Boris @BTWatches. He'll hook you up!

Welcome to the forums! I think Watchbox is a very good dealer - maybe see if they have any reviews on the Who's Who section for buyers and sellers.
