FS - Rolex Submariner Date 2011

[huwp]

Ceramic bezel model.

 

Full set.

 

Owned by me from new and purchased from AD Deacons of Swindon.

 

Worn sparingly and mostly on a rubber strap. Very good condition as a result.

 

£6,750 by bank transfer. F2f only. Watch is situated in Wiltshire 10 minutes from J16 M4.

Don't suppose it's an LV? Green bezel and dial?

 

[huwp]

Afraid not. Just an 116610LN.

Have you tried selling to watchfinder? 

They gave me a really good price for a watch i was selling a few months back .

( PS nice watch , but ive got one ) 

[huwp]

I haven't yet. May I ask how much, or what percentage, off their retail did they offer?

[Mark w]

I believe they made about £500 on a watch I sold to them for £4750 .( assuming they sold it for the advertised price ) 

All the other offers I got were around £3500 so it was a significantly better offer than anywhere else .

if you are thinking of part exchanging they will offer you more ..... but in my case I didn’t go through with the purchase but they maintained the higher offer price .

You can get a valuation on line but it’s subject to them seeing the watch ( and they need proof of your purchase ( in case it’s nicked )) . I booked an appointment and went to their Bond Street premises , you can post it .

Very easy to deal with , no trying to knock the price down once they’ve seen it provided you’ve been truthful with the description .

A Sub is a easy buy for anyone , they won’t go down in value . 

[Mike C.]

These watches generally sell quite well - a Rolex Sub doesn't lose money, quite the opposite, especially a 'full set'.

A recent Rolex Service adds value, or needs to be allowed for, if not, as these are c.£550 + and take 2-3 months. 

However, definitely worth getting the Watchfinder quote (they are normally quite good for a trade buyer) and then see if anyone on here wants to outbid them.

Curious as to what's a "full set"?

[ECR]

original box, papers, tags etc ......

[huwp]

Yes, comes complete.

 

Outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, bezel protector, instruction booklet, warranty card and holder, tags and original purchase receipt.

[finmac]

Thanks, as someone with little knowledge I'd kind of have expected that all to be a given at this price point ;-]

I understand that Rolex hold their value quite well, Whats the new price for a similar timepiece (seems to be a confusing array of prices and options)?

[Mark w]

£6550 now according to a quick Google .

BUT 

Its almost impossible to buy a new Rolex sports model without a long wait .Ive had my name down for a Blue /Black GMT for nearly two years now . Currently £6850 new , secondhand £9-11,000 ! The new  Black/ Red GMT is £7150 new , selling for £14,000 plus secondhand .

Buy wisely and you wont loose anything on a sports model Rolex . 

Huw , Your watch is looking like a bargain !! 

[Wile7]

Bizarrely, Rolex at Geneva airport has these models in stock 'to go' but the dealer in town does not have the Black/Red GMT (but has the blue/black version). Academic rally as I was just 'looking' but it certainly seems that the value of these things are going a bit 'ford escort AVO' crazy on the used market. 

I regret not buying a used HULK sub a few years ago for £2.5k.....but thankful that my inherited 1963 sub with original bracelet and dome acrylic is locked away safe and sound.....

I do hanker after a pepsi bezel GMT though....
