*Newbie alert* Looking for my first Rolex

[Mancs80]

Hi All,

Firstly, I'll introduce myself....

My name is Mike and I live in the NW of the U.K. I've always had a thing for nice watches, my first was a Seamaster Quartz mid-size when I got my first 'proper' job back in 2000. My current watch is a 2016 Omega Seamster 300m co-axial in black which is my daily wearer.

I love the Omega but I've always wanted a Rolex Sub , it's hard to explain the reason, just always admired the classic look, quality and longevity of the brand I guess! It sounds very materialistic, but it's an aspirational thing.

I've been looking around for a few weeks, and have today seen a 2002 14060M online from what I understand to be a reputable website with a 'proper' shop. It has the Rolex green box but no papers other than a Rolex invoice for a new bezel insert this year. The watch is up for £4K and comes with a year of warranty.

Does this price sound about right? This is a major purchase for me, and represents a lot of saving! Naturally I'm wary, are there any particular questions I should be asking?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
