What is an E Serial Submariner in terms of
Year? Found a used rolex at the rolex store online - the one on 5th ave here in NYC. It has an "E" serial number. What year would that make it?

If you go to the main forum you will find a sub forum with reference information. In the sub forum there is a sticky thread with a serial number table. It’s approximate but good enough.

E serials tend to be circa 1990 with some overlap into 1991. 1980s is early for the E serial numbers.

there is no used rolex store on 5th avenue...
This appears to be the diamond district. 0 affiliation with Rolex. |

Looks like a solid 16610 - what are they asking for it?

Not sure how you got that.
"E" prefix serials were first seen in the marketplace in ~1990, and were likely being made into 1992/93. It would be a solid 16610 with the latest 904L Stainless case and a bulletproof 3135 movement. It's a good choice for a Sub Date.

You posted a picture from a diamond district booth. I live here. I know. Bottom line sounds like you're taking a massive risk and are not sure what you're buying. Just buying for the sake of the watch saying "rolex" with no regard for whats inside of it or the year or the full originality of the watch. |

OK, this is just ridiculous. First you're "an avid rolex and zenith collector... I have quite a few vintage rolexes, some solid gold, etc. and a lot of zeniths, including 2 Kennedy watches from the 60s." Then, it appears you don't know much about them at all. Then you want advice about a seller here, then a booth dealer in the Diamond District, then you're at a "used Rolex store" on 5th ave, then you declare that you're absolutely getting a Sub today, which makes it "a good day", then you post a picture of a dubious-looking Daytona which you don't seem to even like.

Trolling is an overused and cliche term on the net. Ppl with real lives dont have time to troll.
No Dan I wasnt trolling, and if you had a submariner, as I inquired over private message, I might have bought it from you. Anyhow, my wife has a black on black rolex and she wants us to match for a NYE party we are going to. The Daytona distracted me but I do now need to get a submariner. A local rolex watch guy, revered in the city, appears to have a great collection of watches. The place where I got the used Daytona recommended him. They gave me his number (dont ask me any questions about him. Hes got a sterling reputation and is about 75 and is a authorized repair person). He has a 1989 Sub and sent me photos. The bezel is scratched but I like it. It has character. What do you think: |

What a joke. I hope you're getting a laugh out of this. Scratch on the bezel, slack in the link. Give me a break.

Ppl assume the worst, behave in an unkind manner, and generally seem to be looking to squabble. Im here asking serious questions expecting an answer. I said I had vintage zeniths an proved it. Im as real as they come, not a troll, as older ppl are so quick to say. If you doubt me, please refrain from responding to me at all. Just ignore me. Thanks |

This "serious questions" nonsense goes both ways. One moment you're dead set on picking up ANY Submariner, then you suddenly buy a Daytona that costs a whole lot more than any Sub you were looking at, yet refuse to reply to any questions about it. Where did the Daytona come from? What model is it? What year? Surely, you know the answers to these since you chose to buy it. How much was it??

Thats not even the guy Im dealing with! Youve gone out of your way dedicate time and research and ASSUME thats the guy Im dealing with, and its not. I have no idea what goes on in ppls lives to make them SO angry and so enticed to conflict. This is ridiculous. As a happy person with a great career, 2 kids and in a happy marriage, I cannot comprehend how ppl just lash out and assume and post things like you just have. Its absolutely astounding. I wont respond again. Thanks for your thoughts. it is what it is |
