100% yes - great deals. I'd go for the black unless you really love green things.

That is easily a £500 saving on the Sub C its a deal and you can always trade it in for a GMTC at some point. I'd say go for it

V. Cheap, but we knew it had to happen. I'm just surprised that the prices are crumbling so soon.

I would guess that you will like the Sub LV and won't have to worry about selling it right away. Because there are plenty of Rolex enthusiasts(like myself)who would buy it from you!!!

honestly: i never sold any of my watches: SS Daytona, GMT"c, Sub old, IWS portuguese, Jajer reverso duoface, Cartier pacha 38 reserve. Don't know why but this last BUY leaves me in doubts... guess it's because i was not really in love for the watch, and i bought it minly because looking at the grey market, i realized that worst case i'll get my £££ back easily...

Will let you know soon what my thoughts are...

One word of advice.

Don't let the prospect of a "bargain" deter you from performing due diligence.
