Vintage Rolex or New Rolex?

[ankurmenon]

Hello Everyone,







**i know that this article is a little longer but Im searching for some good advice so I would really appreciate it, if you would read all of it and reply with some advice of yours. Any is welcome, thank you! **







So I want to buy a watch, or to be more precise, I want to buy a Rolex Submariner in Oystersteel with Yellow Gold and a Black Dial so the 16613 if i'm not mistaken.







Now this is quite a big deal for me. I dont have that much money left over and buying it new for around 12 thousand euros is quite a large amount for me.







My initial thought when I searched for a watch was that it should be something anywhere below 10 thousand. However I have really fallen in love with this watch and I am certain that it will be this one and no other.

Welcome to the forum. You can only decide if new or used is the best choice for you. That said, you can save money buying used and with most Rolex stores closed right now and the factory shut down, used will be about your only option. Reputable resellers like DavidSW and Takuya have websites for selling new/used watches and if you contact them, they will find one for you even if they don’t have one in stock.

One of my favorite Submariner models! There seem to be a number available pre owned, that is previous model with the smaller crown guards. Funny, I was just on Crown & Caliber website this week, and was looking around at their various models. I am dealing with them now, on a totally different watch. But I found their prices reasonable, they are very reputable as well. I do know others who have dealt with them as well. They have quite a selection.

Welcome to the forum, and have fun hunting down your Sub.

Cheers,
Carl

Depends on the model I guess. I myself like some of the modern takes on Rolex watches.

Also, depending on where you decide to buy them you could consider getting a second hand watch. There are places (like Relojes la Hora here in Spain) which have good quality watches and it's way cheaper than buying a new one.
