I am new to TRF and I'm trying to take the first big leap and buy a TT 16613. Looking for an "R" or earlier series with boxes, papers, and tags. I've been watching them for 2 months now and I know they're not selling for more than $5k give or take. Why are some sellers determined to make $6k on these? Am I crazy or are these being way overpriced? Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably-priced 16613 TT Sub?

Greatly appreciated.

I don't know about prices on that specific watch, but what something is "for sale for" and what it "sells for" are two VERY different things.

I'm into motorcycles too and I see people listing Harley's for $5,000 more than they would ever ever get in the real world....

I agree. I've been watching these Subs being relisted multiple times (with no bidding activity) for $5300-$6k for a "9" series and older as well as newer. And the sellers won't budge at all!! Wonder why there not selling????

You can't tell me a "9" series TT Sub without boxes or papers is worth $5000.

If I saw one for 5K from a seller I trusted I'd buy it in a second, they do sell for 6K and that's what their worth.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I haven't seen any selling for that price. Looks like they're struggling to make $5200-5300. Without boxes or papers.

I didn't say it was an easy sell and to be frank when I had mine on the block a few years back I didn't get my price so I kept it. It's a soft market for two tones. They aren't in as much demand as the SS, but for me the market wasn't going to steal from me. I didn't need the money, i was just going to flip it for something so I decided to keep it and I'm thrilled I did. Now I'd never part with it.

Everyone wants things for cheap or next to nothing. LOL!

Agreed. Plus, when a seller inflates their asking price it gives them room to "negotiate" with you so that you're left feeling like you got a "good" deal.

And sometimes the sellers are simply delusional.

Wontonebad: I've notice that trend in the TT Sub market recently as well. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find one good enough to hang onto as well. I know everyone needs to make a profit, but in these financial times nothing is recession proof. Sometimes you need to hang onto things if the maket isn't favorable, but I don't agree with is taking a hostile approach to buyers making a reasonable offer.

Yeah, some people have thin skin, and everyone has moments where they think people are against them for some unknown reason, people can be strange. Don't take it personally just move on. There are a lot of good sellers here and if you want a 16613 they pop up pretty often. Wait til you get your price!

Sure, instead of saying "I resent that remark" I substituted "resemble" for comic effect since threemonkeys hit pretty close to home. LOL
