Gen Submariner Z model help

[terry72]

I have found a 2006 Z model SS /date submariner for $3000.00 I'm going to buy it sunday I was going to meet the seller at a rolex to verify it but there are closed easter sunday. I dont want it to be sold out from under me he has all boxes and paper work and org receit. So my question is this a good price and can some one give me pointer in what to look for so I can make sure its gen..

Thanks

Without seeing good, clear macro pics of the entire watch, I can only recommend that you remove the caseback to be sure that it at least contains a gen Rolex 3135 movement. If you are unfamiliar with what they look like, check google.

He won't wait until Monday?

WEDS is my next day off. He said that would wait till then but if he got a better pice he would sell it. I can't blame him I just dont want to loose it. I read about REPs alot and ordered a WM9 SS From BK so I kind of know what to look for does a "Z" model have the etched crown on the crystal, Holo sticker, and engraving on the rehault. Thanks for the help.

Well, its $1200 less than I sold a Z serial unworn 16610 for 6 months ago.YES, $3k is a great price... almost TOO GOOD of a price.

I just checked some of the forums and it appears that with box and papers and near new condition is still fetching $4000-$4200.

Do you have pictures to share? I still have the pictures of mine if you would like to compare.

Thanks for the pics. I do not have any pics of this watch. I have not seen it I have just e-mailed him . I talked to him on the phone I he told me what it came with and was will for me to come to his house or meet me at a Rolex dealer. I did do some pricing on the bay and saw that thay where going in the low 4's figure I could make 1000 - 1200

That is correct, if the package is complete you can easily get $4000-$4200.

To answer your questions I missed before.

Rehaut engraving = YES

Hologram sticker = NO, the sticker should be clear with 16610 on it.

If he hasnt removed it, there should be protective stickers all over the damn place and the bar code on the 9 oclock side of the case.

If you meet at an AD, dont just let them take off the band and verify the serial number and reference numbers are present. I just spoke to an AD two days ago who did a verification for someone and found a 2892-2 shoved in the case of a gen 16600 just last week. I would have loved to see how they managed to secure that movement in the case.
