I can purchase this watch for $3800 - would this be a good buy? 8.2mil serial . . . '84 ish?

Based on a quick look at the photos, I'd say yes.

Any accessories? Service history? Credible seller? ...I'd take it.

No accessories, unknown service history and seller is a buddy of mine. he will refund me 100% should there be any authenticity issues or any other issues for that matter

Looking to own or flip? Cash burning a hole in your pocket? I'd buy it, wear it and enjoy it... Just my opinion

just to wear. i am lucky to have a great career and would not spend the time or effort to make a few hundred bucks honestly. just wondering if it makes sense given the year and pics. i could use a daily beater and if i'm in one good, even better.

hahahaha, nevermind. he just texted me that he sold it this afternoon. lol that's what you get for being indecisive.

I'd hit chrono24 to make sure it's in the ball park, then do my buddy a favor and take it. If it's going to be a daily beater I wouldn't be too worried about stretchy bracelet as long as it's all authentic.

Bummer. That was a great deal. You definitely have to move quick on these.

boring_sandwich · 3 September 2016, 04:18 PM

Its nice, I have one very similar and love it.

go!

Ouch, the one that got away.
Yes, that 1984 Ref. 16800 for $3800 was a terrific buy price. Even at $4800 and without box/papers and needing a service, it's a pretty solid deal.
The good thing is, there's always another one to find.

Don't look at it as a missed opportunity. Every time you come across one and eval the condition and price you learn. You will be better able to decide correctly in the future

A buddy sold it out from you that quick

That would have been a great price for a nice daily beater, I guess oh, well

It was offered a few days before I posted this. Been a busy week. I dragged my feet too long.

Might want to review his 'buddy status' after this one...
