New or Slightly Used
About to pull the trigger on a GMT IIC to replace my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, this will join my 16030, for which I am trying to locate a super jubilee bracelet for (any advice here is appreciated).
Sorry for being long winded but here are my two questions: For the GMTIIC should I go new or mint condition used, the difference in price is about $500 The second question is can anybody point me in the right direction for a new super jubilee bracelet for my SS 16030. Thanks in advance for your help! |

You should be able to do about $750-$1,000 better used if with an M serial. I got mine close to mint, and within a month put more marks on it than what it came with. I used to see these going for $5250 or so fairly often.

Both the new and used are random serial numbers, I do know the used one was sold new in September 2010. Thanks. Going new I think

In the, US you will have a hard time finding a dealer who will sell you a super jubilee. Cost is about $1400 if you can.

For expensive watches, I would always buy 2nd Hand. Every penny counts!

Don't know why it is just $500 difference but I have not been looking either. But it seems to me for just this amount Brand Spankin New.
