Am I missing something or is this a good deal?

I just sold a 1991 Submariner 16610 here on the forum for $3200, which was complete to include the warranty paper. The watch was immaculate and was listed here for a couple months before it sold. I guess that we give you something to judge this one by.

I paid 3300 for mine and I thought I got a decent deal.

To bad I got one or I'd make him an offer.

I hope you guys are right--when the bidding starting moving fast I bought it! I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi gentlemen -
My name is Don and I am the seller of the 16610 E. I had forgotten that I am a member here until this thread was pointed out to me by the buyer and I successfully logged in. I spend most of my time on VRF and a little on TimeZone. I just spoke with Dennis (Blue Lantern) on the phone about the transaction. Thank you Dennis for the deal. Also I really appreciate the kind words Michael. Just wanted to introduce myself.
Thank you,
Don

Sold for $2950 plus ebay fees and paypal fees, so he probably netted around $2600.

motomc1 · 26 August 2009, 11:43 AM

off the other forum. He's one of the "good guys".

Yeah, I know I probably could've paid a little less if I made an offer on the other forum, but I didn't come across this thread until the eBay bids were already up to $2,600. Also, this is my first "big" watch purchase online, so I really felt comfortable having the protection of eBay/PayPal/my credit cards.

The seller (Don) called me as soon as I bought it and I found that he's a great guy. I've been a little skittish the past month or so as I've been watching for a deal on these forums and a few others, and he really turned this into an incredibly positive experience.

I also have to thank you guys for pointing out this sale!

in your shoes. Buyer protection on your first purchase is very comforting. The bandits are out in full force this month. Guy tried to scam me on a Daytona. Thank God for Paypal and buyer protection. With ebay purchases anyway.

No problem, glad to help just wish I would have seen this before I bought mine!

Hope you enjoy it and post pics when it arrives.
