youpmelone Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 My wife recently inherited some money from her grandfather, it was almost enough to buy a used submariner. Grandpa used to work on a submarine, we thought it would be a good idea to honor him this way. Just closed the deal, 2400 Euro. Sorry for the lousy pics, don't have the watch yet. Was it a good deal? (very trustworthy seller, all papers, recently checked by biggest jeweler chain in the country. no service required) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second i love the idea what a nice gesture im sure he will be thrilled Regard Laz Thx Laz!! Am not that sure that he will be thrilled, died about 8 months ago, but he always said that he was a simple guy, solid but simple. Hence the Submariner with no date. Solid and simple. PM me regarding purchase of a gen online, might be able to help. You can share that info with the rest of the board if it helps.

Stephane Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 2400 doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. Of course it depends on the actual state of the watch but why bother as the seller is reputable. Good choice in my opinion.

Stephane Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 will post pics this week, was described as near mint.. well, near mint and hairline scratches are always an area for debate.. No debate here No watch can stay as clean and polished as in a box... A watch must have an history and a watch history is the hairline scratches My first gen Rolie was polished before I got it...now it shows signs of wear which means we share time toghether Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
