Anyone Want to Weigh in on This Sub?
A friend of mine is interested in selling his TT Sub, so I was looking around ebay to see what they're going for these days.
I found this one that looks a little fishy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ROLEX-SUBMAR...item53f2056f8b

Watch looks fine but I am concerned about sellers lack of knowledge of the watch, newer box and strange warranty card that isn't
p.s a decent one goes fir between 6 and 7.5k pre owned

Date magnification certainly looks off. Could just be the angle of the pic. And shouldn't there be gold on the clasp too??

the clasp is correct for a non solid link band, older 16613 with lug holes no gold is in the centre of the old clasp, bezel insert is aftermarket and crystal is definetely aftermarket with poor magnification. I only believe date magnification to be relevant on new watches that should 100% have an original crystal, i personally can change it myself, so this does not bother me as used watches often have aftermarket glasses, easy to fix fairly cheap and should not be the final call if the price is right imho. i would need to see the clasp and relevant pictures of the movement to be sure on this one as no real points of reference are shown in the photos with enough clarity, box is incorrect for this watch

Gold through the clasp didn't start until the SEL bracelets.
I think the watch itself is genuine but with aftermarket parts. At a minimum, the bezel insert and crystal. Box and accessories do not match the vintage of the watch, of course. |

Pearl surround, date font (date disc), date mag look suspect, IMO.

I say it's as phony as a three dollar bill.

Magnification looks off. Compare to this one.

Okay, this isn't the best picture of the clasp, but it's the best one on the site.
It looks iffy to me, but I don't have my Sub handy to compare the coronet, the scrolling, etc. There's no lettering that I can see. I added another picture and this shot looks even worse.

I know crown knows his stuff, but evidently the watch is not as advertised. These are crown's own words: Quote:
I would also note that the coronet on the crown looks suspicious, as well. So, if for no other reason than the edification of our members, I think the matter deserves another review.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze - eBay won't pull it because of an aftermarket crystal or bezel insert - maybe an email to the seller will get you some movement pics + pics between the lugs.

I really donīt know why this watch is getting so much latitude. Usually, a watch with an "aftermarket" crystal and an "aftermarket" insert would have been called fake. Even more when the seller does not mention it. Plus, the box is from a later period than the watch.
On top of that, the bracelet looks dubious to me. |

I can't believe the discussion has gone on for as long as it already has. Nobody in their right mind is going to pay $11k for it anyway. In good condition and without any questionable parts, I think you'd be looking at roughly half that amount.

at least the movement is likely gen by looking at the hands, dial looks good.
I agree with others, aftermarket bezel insert and cheap crystal at the least. the logo does look wrong on the clasp, but the coronet on the outside looks ok, anyways, modded, who knows whats been done to it inside. would only be worth 3-4k imo. |
