Man there are some Sweet Deals out their....

I've seen some great prices on some very nice used Rolexs. As much as I like my Tudor Sub I would also like a nice used Rolex everyday wearer. If my personal economic situation was better I think I would make a trade

I agree, you are seeing nice vintage GMT's & Sub's priced cheaper than newer models! It is certainly a buyers market!

Blasphemous talk. Never trade that beauty unless it's two for one. But, I agree that there are some deals out there right now. Wish I could take advantage but I'm done for a while.

It sure is buyers market. I recently bought a second hand GMT IIc (M Series, 6 months old) with box and all papers for AUD7K (~USD4.5K) via a private sale. The watch is mint, there were no scratches on it whatsoever. I took it to the an AD to get it valued and the valuation for insurance purposes came out at RRP.

Yes Jim,

Great time to buy - unfortunately not for the Aussies at 0.64.

My late father was SAS - they are/were very special people.

I'll bet he had some interesting stories Eddie. A good friend of mine was a Royal Navy diver in the 70's and his name is Eddie

Im not seeing any CRAZY deals on used rolexes right now, but there have been drops in prices for sure. If anyone has the means to pick up a couple of Rolies for an investment now is the time to do it

I am watching some Grey Dealers and pre-loved Rolex sites and their prices are dropping every other day literally.

I think in a couple of months it will be even a better buyers market.

Sorry Steve!
