I am sure you guys get sick of reading all of the "is this a good deal" threads...so I thought maybe I would switch it up.

What would you pay for an absolute flawless Submariner F serial (2004 I think), no boxes or papers, warranty'd with local jeweler for 1 year?

Rockrolex · 17 April 2014, 05:50 AM

Nothing. While it's a nice looking watch, the Sub may be my least favorite Rolex. I take it back; the SD is my least favorite; the Sub is my second least favorite.

JP Chestnut · 17 April 2014, 05:51 AM

I can't see the case well enough, but there's a world of difference between a "flawless" watch that has had its chamfers polished off and one that's flawless and 100% correct/original. Take a look at the for sale forum and see what people are asking for watches of similar age.

Flying Cat · 17 April 2014, 06:01 AM

I would look for information on how to spot a fake Rolex, memorize all these clues, and go to jewlery store with a loupe and inspect the watch VERY carefully.

Sage advice that I second.

Casey VP-26 · 17 April 2014, 07:37 AM

If all original, About $4,000. Good Luck.

Even an over polished F serial, watch only, isn't going for $4,000 - not at a dealer, and not on this forum.

What do you mean?

Of course an over polished, watch only, F serial isn't going for $4k. But an all original, unpolished in excellent shape could bring that kind of money

landroverking · 17 April 2014, 08:07 AM

Not on my list of must have....so it would have to be in the 90s DJ range.

gwozhog · 17 April 2014, 08:11 AM

4.8 and IBTL

Flstfirider · 17 April 2014, 08:38 AM

Since it's a dealer, I would think $4800 to $5000 is fair. I'm sure they are asking in the high $5k range

Private party, $4500 to $4800 would be fair.

mjclark32 · 17 April 2014, 08:52 AM

$4,500ish

An over polished example would bring more than that amount... An original unpolished actually nice example would be a lot more.

Jack T · 17 April 2014, 11:01 AM

$4,500 for a ten year old Sub Date? A close look at those lugs suggests the watch may not be flawless.

Old Expat Beast · 17 April 2014, 11:10 AM

About 4.5k, although I saw a U-serial the other day with 2011 RSC papers for just under 4.2k.

sea-dweller · 17 April 2014, 11:19 AM

Around $4,600 USD - $5,000 USD.

77T · 17 April 2014, 11:25 AM

It really doesn't matter what we'd pay...many here have access to Subs of that type and condition for $4K or less.

But I think you are already in love with getting one. So I'd twist your question around to ask, "Why would you settle for that one when better ones are right here?"

lmcgbaj · 17 April 2014, 11:43 AM

4k would be a very good price, 4.5k would be a fair price, 5k would be a dealer price.

I think he meant the opposite. A 16610 below 4k is very, very rare in the recent years, even one over polished. Even beat up.

Lgear080 · 17 April 2014, 12:13 PM

I'd buy at $4k and not a dollar more.

At this point ceramics will be $6k in the next 12 mos.

Jack - please explain your comment concerning the lugs. I am interested in your analysis of how they may be flawed. Thanks.
