Hi guys I am looking to buy an UNWORN 16618 Rolex Submariner.

Do you think that these websites/watches are legitimate ? Thanks

Looks legit... Do they come with Appraisal papers and original papers?

[Bisquitlips]

I would Google the heck out of them and see if you find them mentioned on the net or on other forums.

Also do a search here on TRF. This site is a great reference.

Here is one I turned up on a simple Google search! DOES NOT look good!

And another I just turned up.

Dream watches are perfectly legitimate.
Dane was a great Guy to deal with in my experience.

Watchfinder are also a legitimate watch dealer, but I have personally not dealt with them.

For a watch like those you mention so will I only buy from a AD or from a guy that I know.

Never forget there is a lot of very close fakes and if you buy without see the watch
it's very easy to find pics of genuine watches out there.

And not forget we have a financial crisis and that made people do stupid things.

So think twice before you deal and if it's to good to be true, it's not.

Good luck.

Don't just go on my quick findings. Research it through and see what you come up with. It could be that the two links I gave you were just a couple bad apples in the bunch and not a true representation of these companies. However they were on the first page of my Google search.

[Bisquitlips]

I would agree also that you should purchase from either a local AD or local grey dealer. Someone you can go back to if you should have issues.

Yes very true ! We have had someone else on the forum who have delt with 'Dane' from one of the companies mentioned. Hmmm.. 'googling' now and trying to find out results ! Thanks I will keep you informed

Could anyone post pictures of their 16618 Submariners ?
Many thanks

Did my findings and still am !
The bottom line is :
I will go to an AD as you and another member stated ! paying £13,000 ($18,000) is not worth it for both companies having some good and some bad, although I would like to think that I would be in the good section when buying as it were, I can't help but to think that there is a possibility that the watch will go wrong or the process will go wrong and I will loose out etc...
Thanks
Still if there are any sites/places in the UK that have one please can anyone let me know !
Many thanks

I agree. AlanFurman.com has a very good reputation although I have not dealt with them myself, I would not hesitate to do so.
