Guest al12 Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi guys, I am contemplating a Gen purchase of 16800. I know the matte dial are fetching a bit more $. What about the transitional one with the metal surroundings? Should I look for one with box and papers? What do you think about this one? Is it a fair price for one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-Submariner-16800-Transitional-40mm-Wrist-Watch-/130572981303?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item1e66c19437 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispytonyv Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I wouldn't buy off fleabay, especially from someone with such little feedback... check the gen Rolex forums for a trusted seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 I agree about holding off. Maybe you can find something in the $4K range. Vintage Rolex Market, Rolex Forum and Timezone are good places to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsiadeCuba Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 yeah all id go to timezone or rolex forums. Also, id get one with a matte dial so it really looks like a transitional piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest al12 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 So you guys think this one as well too much with box and papers? http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=173866 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiesn089 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 If you go for a 16800, I'd definitely buy a matte version. They are still pretty affordable but if you ever decide to part with it again, there's a far greater demand for them than for those with WG surrounds.
