I am warming up to a Red Sub and have started looking for a birth year model. Does anyone have concerns or critiques of this one listed on Ebay?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It has a service replacement bezel with luminova pearl. Not a big deal, just thought you should know. The experts should be along shortly. Good luck.

dial and hands are nice and even

but reason i'd pass is the case is soft as a mouse's ear and it looks a bit wobbly and uneven, will take a good scraping to restore it to a satisfactory condition (for me anyway, i want a nice package and this one doesn't deliver on all fronts)

6K seems about right for that - the case is much too over-polished for me. The crown guards are eroded to points, which I hate.

should come with a disclaimer

"only handle when wearing leather gloves"

"can also be used as a carving knife"

Thanks guys! I was looking at the lugs, dial, hands and did no really notice the crown guards. I would buy this watch in a second for 6K but I am guessing it will go over 8K.
