There's no difference between the 04 (F serial number) vs an 06 (Z serial number). Mine is an 04 F and it's working just fine

Why doesn't he just go out and buy himself one from an AD?

As soon as you make the transaction he ceases to be a proper friend.

He becomes a sort of friend. The sort of friend that you would make $200 dollars profit off.

Point him in the direction of the AD. Let him have the new Sub with the papers.

Do that and you are a REAL friend.

i already did that , i told him to get a new one from Rolex but he doesn't want to since mine is brand new and he doesn't want to pay the higher price for the 2006 model .. he thinks that there is not point in doing that..

I suppose the thing to consider is going from a watch with no warrenty to one with--just in case.

You might remind him that his new "Z" Sub/Date will drop to about the cost of your watch as soon as he pays for it and walks out of the store. Then it is just a per-owned "Z" serial # 16610 which would sell for about what you can get for yours. JMHO =) maverick
