First Rolex

Guys. New to forum. I want to pull trigger on sub. I just left Aw spot on 42 and 6 Ave in NYC . I saw cyclops and can own it for just shy of 9k. It's the only one they "said " they will have for several weeks. I want to go tomorrow and buy it. Wise choice ? Right ?!!

Ps. It's for my 40 bday. May of 2018

May seems like a very long time to wait for something that you deserve now. Do it.

I know that place, I work at 1166 and see the shop most days. Have you looked elsewhere, is there an AD near your home? I'm not saying don't buy it, just asking what other options you have.

Yeah....$9K seems a touch high.

Did you consider buying from a seller here on TRF? Just saying.....

i've been keeping an eye on the sub prices on the forum.. 9k seems a bit high! better off buying on here and having it overnighted.. then again you haven't specified which sub..

Personally I would go with a "Trusted Seller" DavidSW is one of many good choices. Here is an example of lightly used with Box warranty card etc. Just my opinion..
