Need advice - time is of essence!
Dear all,
I have bugged some of your though pm for your expertise, and now I’m opening the gates to all. I have the following two offers to choose from. Please help me decide. 1. Sub 16610 M Serial engraved rehaut, mint condition, complete set for $6,300. 2. Sub 16610 D Serial, mint condition, complete set for $5,300. Both watches look are from trusted sellers. What do you guys feel is better value for money? Any advice is appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

D-serial doesn't have the engraved rehaut? If not, I will pick the M-serial one. I like the engraving. but $1000.... see if you can negotiate down to $500 difference.

The m has the rehaut and between the lugs engraved, but doubt that adds any real value in the future.
For the $1,000 I'd probably buy the D and send it in for a complete overhaul (~$750)  good luck

Get the D-serial. Not worth the premium for the engraved rehaut, especially when you consider that the non-engraved looks cleaner.

Depends upon the condition - how worn are the bracelets?How polished is the case?
I would personally buy the one in better condition regardless of age or service.

Thank you for your replies guys. I was looking at the M engraved rehaut just because I was being told that it will have great collectible value in the future. But it looks like the D serial will be just fine!
