Almost New SS Submariner
I am looking for a first Rolex for my son (who is hopefully graduating college) and narrowed it down either a SS Sub or a GMT.
My AD is telling me that he has a No-Date Submariner that was originally sold in March of 2017 but never picked up from the store. The papers have been executed however. He is asking $6500. What does this fine community think? |

Sounds like BS to me.
A - What kind of idiot AD would fill out paperwork before watch was picked up? Every AD I ever purchased from fills out warranty at time of sale as it takes 2 seconds. B - Rolex policy allows unworn watches to be returned to AD within 30 days. AD's can return those warranty cards to Rolex and Rolex will issue them a fresh warranty card. |

To me, sold means paid for. Who would pay for a watch and not pick it up?

Regardless of what story they’re spinning you have to look at it as buying a used watch. Is $6500 a good price for a used watch? Seems fair if the condition is near mint or better.

Sounds like they're leaving something out, but $6500 for a SS Sub is a good price even if it's been worn for a year.

Almost New SS Submariner
That’s a good price. Bought mine at 6700$. 9 months lost in warranty period is negligible assuming it was activated on March 2017. Still you have a plenty of warranty time.
Take note also that nowadays SS submariner is hard to find. |

I looked though my sources and that is a fair/honest price. I would green light that Rolex purchase.

Sounds good...but as Neil said, put a careful eye upon it before you pull the trigger.

6500.00 on a near new watch seems like a pretty good deal so long as nothing else is wrong with it.

I'd make sure that the recipient really wants that watch. When I graduated, all I wanted was cash, cash, cash. College grad, which means probably buying a new(er) car, finding a place to live, maybe relocating, buying furniture. He needs a couch, not a watch.

OP, bring to AD a timegrapher and, if an accuracy and errors within acceptable limits, buy
I'd be suspicious about movement issue as in the thread below https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=562681 Also bring a loupe to check if all indexes is alligned, no dust on dial etc.
