Offered a LNIB SD. "What to do?"
So I looked at a LNIB SD a few months back that was serviced in June and warranty to 2015
Man was it nice. Had the whole package and everything was as close to perfect as a 10 year old SD could possibly be. He was firm on 6500 so I wasn't even going to make an offer. I got an email today offering it to me for 5700 Any advice? Any thoughts? I'm waiting on pics which I will post later

10 year old puts it back to 2003. If serviced by RSC or one if the trusted watch makers here I would buy it

I paid $6,700 for a final series M. I'd say the latest offer is fair, first price too much.

See if you can negotiate a little more and buy it. Its well priced as it is but doesnt 5400 or 5500 sound so much better? I'd probably get it either way.

Go for it, a very good deal. Sea Dwellers retail around Ł4500-5500 here in the UK

Buy if you love it. If the price is right, so much the better.

Congratulations on your 1,000 post.
Great watch. I may have to put mine on in solidarity. I too have an older SD from 2004 and the clasp is still tight when you open it like a new watch.

That's mighty tempting. If the SD floats your boat then I'm not sure if gets too much better?

Get on it!
I think it's a fair price, and you get added piece of mind with the recent service through RSC. |
