Local Pawn Shop that I frequent called me and said they just took in a W series Sea Dweller with box, papers, polishing cloth, anchor, etc and service from November 2011 from a local watchmaker here in town. Not an AD service or RSC service.

Give me some idea what this watch is worth, they offered it to me for $4,500

good deal

The price sounds good, although I don't like the bit about the non-Rolex watchmaker conducting the service. I might try to knock the price down a couple of more hundred and opt to pay for service on my own by someone who has access to Rolex Parts.

sounds like a fair price depending on condition...

if the service was done from a local watchmaker it is likely to be at least partially incomplete: its unlikely that the local watchmaker had the necessary device to properly test the SD depth rating.

i would look for a receipt for the service or consider it not serviced?

Sounds pretty tempting to me!

What's their phone number?
Never mind there can't be THAT many Pawn Shops in AZ...

If anyone is interested PM me and I'll give you their information. Since I have a Sub, GMT II, Omega SMP and Breitling Evolution I really don't need another diver.

Next on my list is a TT Datejust on a jubilee with a gold tapestry dial and a fluted bezel

$4500 is a great deal if everything checks out properly. If you don't get it, I will. Where in town is this place again?!
