A good friend got one at a pawn broker for $5, true story, I've told it here before, but I wouldn't count on that happening.

Might be able to score this one for under $500:


Other than that, as others have alluded, you're off by one '0', keep saving and good luck (assuming this is on the level).

I just paid 500 for a service on a vintage sub. Save some money and buy a good quality piece.

Well, someone is selling an old 6694 manual winding rolex. Non-working with cracked glass for around $500+ . But it do not have a little gold on it.

Under 500$ is impossible in my opinion but I've seen some Datejusts at very good prices on the net, you just need to make sure you know what you're doing.
