doesnt sound bad but to point out the obvious - is it worth the risk of not knowing what your getting?

OP: You need MUCH better pictures than that garbage that seller posted. How does he expect to sell a $4,600 watch with pictures like that?

Look somewhere else or contact a trusted seller here on the forum so you know EXACTLY what you are getting (serial #, year, date of purchase, BETTER pictures, etc.)

Well, I think he means that you need to further ask for details and specific pictures from the seller !
MY 2 cent opinion.

Don't forget the motto : "buy the seller before buying the watch" !

Don't try and save a couple bucks on the front-end of this purchase. Buy what you want at a reasonable price.......it will be worth it in the long run.

In my experience not to many people would come down over $500 on a SS sub.

Buy here on TRF and save yourself a disappointing experience.

It's not a good deal. Too much for this Rolex without papers.
