I want to get this watch today from a seller... how does it look..
A series.. do you see something weird or strange... thanks for the comments...

TimeToGo · 16 September 2009, 01:31 AM

The watch looks good to me. Looks like an almost complete package with the most of the green sticker on the back. Band appears in great shape also. MAY need a service, but take that into consideration with your purchase.

Have you matched the serial number on the tag to the watch? Are the papers missing, outter box?

Good luck!

I have not asked.. the asking price is 2450 usd... anyone thinks I should try to get it a little lower.?

Idle Swede · 16 September 2009, 01:35 AM

I see something very weird.............................it looks like a SS watch.

I thought you only bought complete sets Eduardo, I don't see any paperwork?

vitix · 16 September 2009, 01:37 AM

x2, try to see if you can see at least that it has the serial number, is very difficult to buy such a timepieace using ebay or some web pages like that, i rather do it personal where i can touch and feel, even take it to a watchmaker (together with the seller)

but wait for more comments here in the forum are lots of people with lots of knowlege

It appears ok, but heck, it culd be a PATPONG special. Zoom in a bit closer - at least a couple of cm's...

moviefreak · 16 September 2009, 01:39 AM

Tools · 16 September 2009, 03:28 AM

Don't look at it as bad luck. If it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. Something better always comes along anyway...

not bad luck for you but for the seller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very low price
He might be desperate for some cash.

x2 agreed if it's legit that was a steal

On the bright side there are thousands of SS Submariners out there so be patient and you will find 1.

Lug holes on a Sub date????

ghostrider · 16 September 2009, 11:33 AM

Yes lug holes on a date sub were standard until a few years ago. Also from a few years ago is the anchor in the picture. Both were standard until a few years ago. Hard to see but it looks like "Swiss Made" which means sometime around 2000 on until they went to no holes case.

springer · 16 September 2009, 11:37 AM

Wow, that was a great price. It looked complete except for the warranty paper. If it's under $3000, pull the trigger, you can't go wrong for that price...on a genuine one anyway.
