Can I have some opinions on this sub?

This picture was sent to a friend who is looking to buy a 16613. This is the only photo that was sent which raises a red flag for obvious reasons. Perhaps some of the other experts can chime in with their opinions about this watch.

Thanks,

Robbie

I agree which is why the watch raises red flags. My friend asked me about this watch because I own a 16613. He asked the seller for better pictures and the seller gave him a story about the watch being locked in a safe deposit box. The seller says that it will be difficult to get to the watch and only prefers to go to the trouble if the watch sells.

That is good enough for me to walk away from the deal. But my friend thought he would ask. I personally don't like the looks of the cyclops or the font on the dial. But we all know that dials can be refinished. And I am no expert on the sub. I spend most of my money on day dates and datejusts.

Anyway, thanks for taking a look.

I don't like the cyclops either. I posted a reply on the other comment made about the watch. You can read it which will save me the time from having to retype everything again.

Thanks for taking a look.

I agree more pictures are in order, but I donīt dislike this one in my first impression as much as you seem to.

yes always follow your gut feeling, your first intuition is always correct imo.
