Old watch to my collection

Thoughts on adding this older date just to my collection? It’s in excellent condition. Seller is asking 9k box and papers.

Thanks

9k is pretty rich for a preowned 36mm datejust IMO

Agree with the comment above.

A new 36mm silver dial, fluted/jubilee (ref 126234) is $9050 as per the Rolex website. Why not pay 50 bucks more and get a brand new watch with 5 year warranty?

That's what came to my mind initially. I would say 7k is fair.

Great watch. Ask the seller to sharpen their pencil.

The one thing that would tempt me on that particular pre-owned Date Just compared to a new one is the beautiful Super Jubilee bracelet that came with that reference. Should be closer to $8000 though I think.
