New to the Forum, just wanted to say Hi!

Hi-
I just found this forum and wanted to say hello. I have been a member of various other watch forums for a few years and have bought and sold TOO MANY watches on the Net! I have made the decision that I would like to buy my first Rolex Submariner/Sea Dweller. Any reccommendations on the "most affordable" second hand models? Also, any information on the best ways not to buy replicas or fakes, and think it is the real thing? I look forward to learning more about this wonderful watch brand and to meeting some new people as well!
Thanks!
Ron

Welcome to TRF Ron..

You know, it seems that most used Rolex models hover around the 3500 to 4000 mark for a 10 year old model.. Daytonas are more, DJ's are less..

Newer ones start creeping up towards the MSRP... Personally I don't see enough off on a model within 5 years to justify not buying new..

Hello and welcome to TRF.........

I have not been here that long myself but I think that the sellers here seem very genuine and I would have no problem buying a watch on this forum.

I look through the sale boards often and the prices seem ok



Regards Mike.
