Because Subs can be had for around ~3500 for a respectable recent model to 5K for new....
After market bezels and dials do not generally enhance the value of a Sub, especially in the long run.. Paying what I believe is too much for a watch that is not recognized within "usual" Rolex circles is not a good way to start off..... |

It's a 2007 with a "Swiss t<25" tritium dial? Red aftermarket $20 bezel. Scary.
They also have a green one, and the pics look exactly like the red one. Hmm...

Like the restyled (CoughRecycledCough) 10+ year old dials on a "new" 2007 watch.

Welcome to TRF!
It's a socalled "Frankenwatch" ("marriage" of Rolex plus aftermarket parts). I'd pass on it if I were you, since you will not be able to re-sell it easily later on, if at all.
