which can be found at a better price?

[miataguy]

Both options used:
116618 Yellow Gold Ceramic Submariner (smurf or sunburst)
116689 White Gold with Platinum Bezel Yachtmaster 2

Both don't come up too often on the rolexforums sales page. Would like to spend 20000USD or less, is this realistic?

On PM models, generally how much can i expect to get off the list from our sales page?

Not quite ready to pull the trigger yet but im planning. This would be my one and only watch. Eventually adding a Omega MOTM but that would be a few years down the line.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I can live without box and papers

$20k isn’t enough for any of them (even Pre-Owned)

YG is always cheaper than WG, so you might have more luck with the Sub. But 20k is a formidable goal since most are hovering at 23k-28k. The only 116618 I could find at Chrono24 below 20k was from 1992. At the AD you might be able to negotiate a few % on the PM models, but they will never be as affordable than the online sellers since they have to pay for retail location and staff. Don't expect to be able to negotiate prices in the classifieds forum here unless it is stated in the post by the seller.

I would really like one of these badly. I wonder if i can get more off the price since theyre less in demand.

The "more off" is already priced in. The pre-owned prices are significantly lower than the pre-owned stainless prices as a percentage of MSRP.

If you're seeing one of these around $20k then beware. Deals that are too good to be true usually are.

you are basically asking to buy a Ferrari for 50k. is it possible? sure. but how likely? very rare.

Not even remotely.

[droptopman]

Good luck. Do not think you can find a decent example in that price range. May want to consider a SS YM or a TT Sub.

Well if theyre theyre trending at 23k-24k safe to say i can negotiate 1000$ off the posted price. Am i out to lunch here as well?

TT YM2 would be the alternative. Just a bit concerned about rose gold for some reason.

[Cru Jones]

5-digit Sub yes.
