I was looking at Rolexs today in Annapolis and found this beautiful Submariner. of Course i know very little about this one in general but i do know its beautiful and they were asking $9,500 for it.

Not sure if thats a good deal or not but i just wanted to share the picture with you guys and maybe get some info on it....Thanks

End links look wrong
Looks over polished
Bezel looks to be replaced thin font and banged up teeth
Feet first dial later dial. Do you know serial
9500 is too much based on one off angle photo

Need more photos and details

You'll have Better luck on the vintage side tho :)

im not interested in buying. i just thought it was cool looking.

Vincent65 · 3 August 2013, 06:25 PM

it is 'cool-looking'

end-links and bracelet are virtually irrelevant. Insert is a later one, bezel teeth are not 'banged up'. This thing is over 40 years old. Nothing wrong with a feet-first dial either.
Price is about the going rate, IMHO.

I feel for what it is, of course I am speaking on behalf of one picture that is not very clear... But I would suggest a price of no more than $8,000.00 USD for that particular piece.

Judging from what I see with the end pieces, the bracelet is wrong, insert is a modern service insert, all of this can be corrected for a price.
In the end, you will save money and trouble by finding a watch that doesn't need work. unless you can except it for what it is.

When I look at a watch like this, I price it as if i'm purchasing the head only. From what I can tell as long as there is no paint missing on the dial, the hands and dial match and the patina is very nice.

Looks nice!

Robbyvm · 4 August 2013, 05:49 AM

Could it be rust i see just right of the 6 marker and at the 9 marker ?
Not realy the best picture to judge a Red....

$9,500 is too high and that watch needs a complete and through examination before even considering it.

and, it does look like rust is inside the crystal.

scottb2 · 5 August 2013, 06:45 AM

you definately have some corrosion there

Cc1966 · 7 August 2013, 05:19 AM

As you know rust=bad, so I would pass on this one at that price.

esspee1200 · 7 August 2013, 05:44 AM

a bit on the high end. $8500 ish sounds better.
