Your brothers price on a D isn't great, it's ok but you could do better on a D. The sellers on the New Turfers website and in the market place postings here are trust worthy, for $6300 you could get a newer "Z" or maybe even a slightly used "M". You could probably find a "D" for around $5,500 IMHO. PM ponycar here or on New Turfers

Thanks for info, Pal!!!

Just for the record, Bluesy is hard to find Rolex here in Jakarta.

BTW Thanks Everyone!!!

$5500 in great shape, but I have seen them cheaper.

Take care of your brother.

Frampton · 9 July 2008, 05:18 AM

If it's in really nice shape, buy from your bro. The price is a bit steep but worth it to know the history. You'll also save on sales tax, if any, and the warranty will still be in effect, if it has not yet expired. Plus he'll owe you one, which is always nice.

Enjoy it.

I agree........it's not really pre-owned until it leaves the family...just pre loved......my bluesy is one I bought from a good friend..and every time I look at it...I remember the good times.........

Norm · 9 July 2008, 06:00 AM

Buy your brother's Bluesy. BNIB is always nice and the way I like to buy but in 2 months of ownership, assuming you wear it and don't keep it in a safe, it'll look the same either way.

eyceburg11 · 9 July 2008, 06:30 AM

save yourself some $ and get a pre-owned

SPORTSFAN · 9 July 2008, 06:32 AM

Hi,

I say get it fron your Bro.
.................................................. ..........................But beat him down on the price

Regards Mike.

etp095 · 9 July 2008, 06:34 AM

help your brother out and buy his.

kingcie · 9 July 2008, 08:16 AM

Buy your brother's. Give him a little less $, and maybe he'll want to buy it back off you in a few months once he sees you wearing it all the time? He'll miss it.

blackrhino12 · 9 July 2008, 08:23 AM

Bluesy's are the Debils watch!

Just ask JJ

marshallr47 · 9 July 2008, 09:40 AM

I think you can get Bluesy for less than $6300. I paid $5300 for my D serial. Happy hunting.

toph · 9 July 2008, 09:50 AM

pre owned is what i voted TR

Road Warrior · 9 July 2008, 10:03 AM

See if your brother will take less & try & buy his. I bought mine pre-owned & have never regretted it. Good Luck!

Chozn1 · 9 July 2008, 11:20 AM

Offer your brother $5500. He'll get a quick sell and you'll be well ahead. Business is business and IMO he's going to be sitting on it for a while at that price.

gmtobsessed · 9 July 2008, 11:22 AM

Though decision TR!
But since its from your brother, you can always make better offer rite?

i always rather someone else take the initial "new cost" hit...even when buying cars, etc...

areyes926 · 9 July 2008, 12:05 PM

Buy your brother's and you can have it now besides helping him.

golfball123 · 13 July 2008, 10:57 PM

buy frm yr brother.. you know him well and if he had been taking good care of the watch and furthermore you know for sure you are getting original watch without having it inspected or opened.

Not now,Frostie.

I think I change my derection to other Rolex. I will post my next step soon.

Leighton · 14 July 2008, 01:04 PM

I'd buy from my brother because I couldn't help but remember this great tribute to brothers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3PMy_V-A_o

tubojunk · 14 July 2008, 01:10 PM

Honestly, I would have to go with brand new M serial. Even though he is your brother and you would be doing him a great favor, I don't think that is a very good price. So, M serial with CRB for +$800 is a no brainer to me. Great watch either way. Good luck
