Rolex Submariner 16803

Good afternoon everyone, I am on the search for purchasing my first Rolex. I have been primarily looking at submariners, particularly pre-owned, excellent condition, and from several decades ago. I have came across reference 16803 with the black on black bezel and dial. The watch is in Excellent condition and comes with original box and papers. I would be paying around $7,000 USD. As a 20 year old I’m not as experienced, so I would love to get your opinions on the price and anything specific I should look out for on the watch. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Jrod!

Welcome to the club!

I am not very experienced either, but I have learned to look for box and papers and always “buy the seller.”

Welcome, have you googled the seller? Is this person listed in our "Who's Who section" Is this a full set (box, papers, hangtags, etc..) I would recommend reading and learning more before buying. Not saying it is a bad deal but you can here and asked questions. Deals can always be had. Just my .02

Box and papers are included and the seller is 100% trusted and I know the watch is authentic. The price is mainly what I’m wondering about.
