Would you consider this 18038 a good deal?

TimeToGo · 21 February 2013, 09:21 AM

Do you know the service history...

Does it just come with the band (shirt not included, I assume)...

goog53 · 21 February 2013, 10:57 AM

Are all lum dots intact?

If we are talking retail, I'd offer $3.5 and settle for $4k IF it was recently fully serviced and comes with at least a 1 year warranty. I would also ask for a more substantial strap that fills the area between the lugs.

I'd need to see the lugs first.

x 2 . . . the strap is to small . . . .

So if that is how the owner is . . . I think there was no service done at all . . .

Service of a DD costs just a few $$$ more than a correct strap . . .

that is alot of watch for about 60% of the retail price of a new SS submariner. if you like the gold action, go for it. looks awesome to me.

BoomerSooner · 21 February 2013, 03:01 PM

Thanks for the great advice and point of 60% of a new sub.

Needing a dress watch and figured this would fit the bill but the entire gold look worried me. So, He put a leather strap so I could see how it looked.

Thanks,

-Steve

Seems okay to me.

i like it

crowncollection · 21 February 2013, 05:23 PM

Love the day dates, 4k is a good price unless its just serviced then 4.5k

MonBK · 21 February 2013, 05:34 PM

You did good.

springer · 21 February 2013, 11:46 PM

$4,500 seems reasonable as the watch appears to be in very nice condition for its age.

gpfps · 21 February 2013, 11:53 PM

Being a DD fan I like it. But like others said look for a better band and get the end links, it will make the watch look 100% better without the gaps.

landroverking · 22 February 2013, 12:17 AM

I feel everyone here is on the mark. Buy and enjoy.

BoomerSooner · 22 February 2013, 01:46 AM

Thank you everyone. I really enjoy your feedback and opinions.

Respectfully,
