"Keep looking" is the best advice you can get.

I bought a real nice 16233 a few years ago for $1000 (L457xxx with lug holes, fluted bezel, 22 link jubilee, goldtone dial), and a friend traded into a tutone 1601 DJ last week with a 'big logo' clasp on a swiss jubilee for around $1000 at a gun show.

Internet prices can be twice what a local price might be.

 

Rolex buying tips:

Dress like a bum, act sorta dumb, and carry a wad of CA$H.  

If you don't know the ropes, you gonna get hung.

The more you know, the less you lose.

Make an offer, haggle a minute, then walk away.

 

Common lies:

"It is one hundred percent genuine".

"It has just been serviced".

"I have more than that in it."

"That IS my best price."

"I bought it to keep."

"It's collectible."

 

Yeah and my cat speaks Chinese.   :chinese:

 

It might take a year to make a rolex but a buyer is born every minute.   :animal_rooster:
