I have an uncle who’s set to buy his first Rolex. He wants a 16613 black and gold sub.

Our plan is to meet on Friday and check out some local shops so he can try a few models on in the metal. I’m really excited to teach him about models, condition, box and papers, stretch. His budget is 10k so he should be able to get an nice example.

You know what’s better than becoming a WIS... helping someone become one!

That'll be a lot of fun! Post some pictures from the dealer visit if you can

sounds like fun.

$10k should get a NOS.

It's going to be a great experience, help him get what he really wants!

Enjoy. I agree with your sentiment. Not long after I bought my Air King I helped a friend's wife source his grail for his 40th. I enjoyed that as much if not more than finding my Rolex. Plenty of pics please.

Good for you for helping out. If he's computer savvy make sure he joins here.

At this price limit he's set, he should get to check the 116613LN also. Have fun educating him man.

It should be fun. I agree that he should also try the 116613 LN. For his budget he should be able to get a nice example with the box, papers and a warranty from Rolex.

Sound like fun! Always fun spending someone else's money on a Rolex
