Rolex Submariner 16610 L Series

Hi everyone,
I wanted to get some input on a Sub that I am thinking about purchasing. One of the concerns that I have is that it is stated in the description that the band is stretched. It also says that the watch was polished. The price is $5,093. It does come with the original box and papers.

Thanks in advance,
AJ

Not sure why this is in the "watchout" section. However, if it was me, I wouldn't pay that's much for that watch. It looks like it's had a 'rough life'. Add another $1500-$2000 and get something newer and in much better condition.

Band, to me, is way too stretched out for this price. Subs are everywhere to be had. Keep shopping OP (and welcome to TRF)

Price is on the high side for the condition. For a little more you can get a better example.
