tabularasa415 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Alright, so I'm going to buy a gen 16220 Rolex Datejust with silver face, batons and jubilee. Now, this watch is mint. And when I say mint, I mean it has the red sticker inside of the bracelet and came from the case of a man who went out of business in Pittsburgh (where my guy picked it up along with 4 other watches at a show). I'm trading in my TAG Carrera Calibre 5 Auto and after trade in he's offering me the watch at $2500 cash. Now, I know I can buy them used for a little less, but does anyone have an opinion on whether or not this is a good buy? All opinions welcome...

indyberetta Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Best thing to do is she what he will take cash for the watch without the trade involved. In my area I have seen 16220 DJ anywhere from $3500 on the high end and $2100 on the low end. It seems the options you described are the norm and not a special version. The way it looks is he is getting your Tag trade for free. No matter what, the watch is used and not a brand new model. It is not a bargain, but you don't really buy a watch as an investment unless it is vintage. If you like it, buy it. You might want to just do a full cash deal and sell your tag on your own to recoup some of your purchase price. Best wishes on your purchase!

AsiadeCuba Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 i would try to sell the tag. and ask how much he would accept for a straight sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabularasa415 Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah, I was wondering that myself. If it's 3K (which I still think is fair bc it really is brand-new-never-worn) I will sell my TAG outright. Even if I sell it for 700 or 800 it's still a better deal...
