Green Sub Retail Question

Hi all,

Once again, it's Joey from Australia, and i have a question pertaining more to local ie Aussie or Kiwi residents. But of course any advice is appreciated.

We have in Sydney a pretty cool watchmaker and jeweller who services and sells high-end Swiss watches - Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Panerai, IWC, Zenith, Breitling.

Now, this piece of advice i need i blame on JJ (remember last week's Good 'ole Greens thread?)!
Anyway, I'm saving my biscuits now for a Green Sub. I just purchased a GMT II Red/blue, but would love a green Sub (thanks again JJ) as a second and final Rolex in my collection.

Can i send you a link to ask you to determine whether the pricing is ok or overboard via this guy. I know it may be a big ask, but he does have a good rep, with most of his pieces in the 9.9/10 or 10/10 category, and i guess also if anyone knows of any other local sellers, it would be appreciated. Sorry, big ask, but if you can help, that'd be great.

Thanks.

Sorry to reply with a counter-question, but what is the name of that watch maker?

If the advertised price is AUD$7799 it is way too much.
Go elsewhere
Try
http://www.masterwatchmaking.com.au/
or try Monards in Pitt Street, they would probably sell you a brand new Green Sub for less than $7,799.

Besides other reasons, the price is too high.

Hey guys,

Thanks so much for that. If i'm allowed to post this link, its:

http://www. clockmaker.com.au/w/wfs1.html

Prices seem pretty good for the quality you get. I've had a look at this watches and they're great specimens, all used, but nearly all close to unworn. The Swiss Repairer is bought my GMT from said he's pretty good.

But i thought i'd get you guys to check it out first and/or give me some sites - thanks for the ones you posted.
