The used SD arrived today...I am very satisfied. It is a 2005 that looks like it has been worn with great care. I can't find an issue with it...flawless. I apprciate all the help from this forum. I think it was a good deal at $4,500. I gues I could consider it "current" until the DSD comes out in August?? Any thoughts? All the best....

When your buying used, what precautions are you taking or recommending and how hard of a bargain can you reasonably negotiate on decent conditioned models?

mingo · 3 July 2008, 04:44 AM

Thank you all for the many welcoming comments. I have posted a picture of the SD while it sits on my desk. Enjoy. I did try to negotiate a lower price, but that was not a possibility. The watch was well worth the asking price of $4,500. The serial # begins with a D. Any thoughts on that? What does the D mean? Thanks in advance....

cmcm3 · 3 July 2008, 04:47 AM

I believe D serial means it was made between Jan 05 and July 06

chadrh · 4 July 2008, 11:29 PM

Great watch, wear it with pride!

Beef · 5 July 2008, 12:22 AM

Congrats, Mingo. It is "current" until the DSSD comes out, then it's "classic." I bought an "S" series used earlier this year. Here's a picture of it with my "classic."
