Experts New Poster Needs help with first watch!!

Hey Guys,

I need your help, I am looking for my first real watch and of course I like the Black No Date Submariner. I found a preowned Z serial number pre COSC complete with box, tags etc in excellent condition for a price of $3000. It sounds like a great deal to me, this is my first watch and I was actually looking at Omegas because the subs were a little to expensive for me, but at this price I am ready to take the plunge, what do you think? any input would be appreciated, thanks!!!

I recently got a used no-date in great shape for about $3,000. Your deal sounds solid, as long as you have no authenticity questions.

If it's legit, sounds like a good deal to me!
Just remember, buy the seller, not the watch!

Wow. Great deal....

Have you seen the watch in the flesh?

Sellers "ratings" are all over the map. I have seen photos of watches online for watches a seller claims are LNIB - like new in box - but you can CLEARLY see the dings!!

You can also ask the seller to send you photos of the sides of a watch etc.

Now all this presupposes the innards are in good shape. A Z series is recent so if all is genuine, you should be OK.

As Mark suggests, know your Seller
