huwp Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Don't suppose it's an LV? Green bezel and dial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark w Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huwp Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I haven't yet. May I ask how much, or what percentage, off their retail did they offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark w Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 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. Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 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.

finmac Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 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 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 £6550 now according to a quick Google .https://www.globalwatchshop.co.uk/blog/features/rolex-prices 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 !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wile7 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
