Category 5 Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 The guy tried pushing the Black sub on me for $2400. That seemed way too cheap. Then I noticed the winding crowns didn't look right on these. Rehaut was good though... ...and there next to the Blue sub in the photograph was another that had a distinctly purple dial. I asked the shop owner about it and he tried to tell me that Rolex makes a purple and a blue version. Shady! So do these pics look like Gens? Or is a store in the diamond district of NYC trying to scam some poor souls?
Guest HeWhoIsLikeGod Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 2400 for a gen? Is it in good condition? I am assuming it is used? what year? Please PM me with details.
ubiquitous Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 As BT mentioned... Both are 100%. $2400 is a smokin deal for the 16610...
fanito Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) They look legit to me... maybe a 1998ish model, I can get one of those for around 3100~3200... So it is dirt cheap Edited July 12, 2006 by fanito
docblackrock Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 That 16610 looks F series at least (late 2003+) as it appears in photo that there are no lugholes If so, then 2100USD =
crystalcranium Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 2400 for a gen? Is it in good condition? I am assuming it is used? what year? Please PM me with details. Isn't it amazing??? I'm no expert, but as soon as I looked at the photos, my brain registered the overall quality. I've never seen a rep with the depth and angle of rehaut in the genuines.
V Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Can I guess that Cat_5 is now running to the shop to see if the Subs are still there and not sold???
Category 5 Posted July 12, 2006 Author Report Posted July 12, 2006 47th street, start one block west of Broadway, and it is about the 5-8th store on the North side of the street. You'll recognize it because it is the first or second small shop with a load of watches in the window. I'm still not rushing back. If I spend my bux it will be either an LV or a SS Daytona. Another guy across the street had both, but wanted $6500 for the LV and 13,000 for the Daytona. When i laughed and told him I could get the TT for $12,800 he asked me how much I would like to pay. I told him "list price" and he lauged again, told me to go find one at that price and that he'd give me $10,500 for it when i did. Deals on used Gens can be had in the DD though...those guys will haggle as much as the ones in Chinatown. Too bad I wasn't shopping for a diamond. There were some amazing stones at really great deals there. P.S. Take cash with you for a fat additional discount.
thomasng Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 That's total [censored] if he wants $13,000 for a used TT Daytona. You can easily get them from ADs in Canada with a small discount too. Timezone also has the occasional one which pops up for $8000 or so for a 2 or 3 year old piece, and they are from reputable people too. Even if we're talking about SS Daytona, $9000 will get you one on Timezone easily, for a LNIB or even NIB. Oh, and this is my 666th post by the way.
ubiquitous Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 Glad I didn't pay those prices for my Daytona!
2005SUBMARINER Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) if they are selling ROLEX on 47th st in NYC diamond district , you can be sure that they are 100% gen ! those shops are top notch & not to mention the rolex building is not to far away from the diamond district . i dont think those guys would risk loosing there licencse over selling reps .. 47th st is not canal st ..

gander Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 http://www.newturfers.com/bin/mwf/topic_show.pl?pid=408037 Some blue subs have aged to purple. The link doesn't seem to work properly, but refresh will bring up the post.
ehtolcad Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 first thought in my mind was 'boy do those cgs look good' lol
poopypants Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 there no mention of whether or not they came with papers and box...
robertrinaustin Posted July 12, 2006 Report Posted July 12, 2006 If you want a TT Daytona, you should keep your eyes on the bay. I've seen them from legitimate sellers for under $8k.

Not $13,000 for a used TT Daytona...$13,000 for a NEW SS Daytona. I commented that I could get the TT at Tourneau for $12,800 (Held the very watch hours before) before haggling. List on a SS Daytona is like half that, so I offered him that. That's when he told me he would give me $10,500 for one if I could get it at htat price. Schmuck! If it was a real AD they could lose their dealership license for charging over list.
Category 5 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Posted July 13, 2006 there no mention of whether or not they came with papers and box... No WYSIWYG. The LV and SS Daytona across the street DID come with box, and some papers...but I am sure the way they are price gouging they aren't an AD.
