Hi, I need your opinion here. I'm planning to buy my next Sub, and I choose BLUESY to be my next.

The problem is my Brother want to sell his Bluesy in around USD 6,350.- D serial with GREAT condition.

Or should I wait for a brand new M serial from my AD in around USD 7,110.-?

But they out of stock for now, they only have 16613 Blacky. I don't how many time I must wait, and my Brother want to sell his Bluesy hurry.

So, should I wait for a brand new 16613 Bluesy, or get that brand new Blacky from my AD or buy my Brother Bluesy? Please really your advice here. Thanks TRFers!!!

Best Regards, TR.

Pre-owned. You will do your brother a favor. Keep the watch in the family and get a great deal on a beautiful watch.

Savings do not hurt either. $800 Is still $800.

karmatp · 8 July 2008, 11:44 PM

Hey TR, I would personally buy you brother's. He needs the money and you want a Bluesy, seems like a perfect situation to me.

walds11 · 8 July 2008, 11:47 PM

I always try to buy pre-owned. Let someone else take the intial depreciation hit.

mfer · 8 July 2008, 11:58 PM

Wow. It is in the family so you know where it has been.
To quote the infamous TR font

astcell · 9 July 2008, 12:32 AM

If you were my brother I'd give you Bluesy for free.

Z-Sub · 9 July 2008, 12:37 AM

especially you know the history of this watch and not having to take chances from people you don't know.

Enjoy it.

I really wish you're my Brother...

jasonbellevue · 9 July 2008, 12:54 AM

Get the pre-LOVED Bluesy, besides it's your brother's, you're helping him out.

I just bought one (my 2nd Bluesy) from Alex (nko51) last Friday, and the anticipation is killing me....

BTW GREAT SHOT Sir!!!

Steven79 · 9 July 2008, 01:07 AM

I would get the new one for not much more.

But thats just me, I only buy new.

sea-dweller · 9 July 2008, 01:10 AM

If your brothers is in good shape, I would buy it. Otherwise, go to an AD and buy a new one. Nothing like the feel of 'unwrapping' a new Rolex, know what I mean ?

Steven79 · 9 July 2008, 01:13 AM

Yea you are only saving $760.00

And you are out of warranty since it's a "D" serial.

Get the "M" all fresh and brand spankin new.

Trurolexer · 9 July 2008, 01:41 AM

Please tell me thats a good deal for pre-owned D serial year purchased 2006?

Because my AD said if the new Bluesy come someday they not guarantee the price is still USD 7,110.-!!!

Maybe can increase, depend the market.

mfer · 9 July 2008, 01:43 AM

Its a good deal b/c it is from your brother.

If you want a cheaper one, deals are out there. I've seen really good (not mint) condition bluesy's go for $5300 or less on TZ.

What series? D?

mfer · 9 July 2008, 01:51 AM

Well here is an F (one letter prior to D in Rolex's alphabet) I did a quick search for.

$5500 in great shape, but I have seen them cheaper.

and I know this guy is a good seller.

If its from your brother and in good condition, then its a no brainer, buy if you can afford it

FrankinCA · 9 July 2008, 02:35 AM

I would buy from my brother:

1. Buying from someone you know. You know the history of the watch.
2. You are helping family, so the watch stays within the family.

good luck

kcmo · 9 July 2008, 02:48 AM

I'm a fan of the black TT sub but it's obvious you are aching for the blue....so I say go ahead and buy your brother's! Makes sense to me!
