The price is due to resale value. They are the global standard in watches. I aggree on the simplicity of the watch they are nothing special. I wanted to ask you guys on a price that was offered to me on a Submarniner with 18k band. All stamps and weights are correct. It does not have papers unfortunately nor box etc. The quoted price is 3k. Is that a fair price?

Is it all 18k gold or is it 2 tone?
at that price its gotta be a 2 tone
post the pics of the watch on some legit forums before buying
2 tone. The middle part is18k.

post pics on here, i can give you a realistic idea of what it should bring in…
I am the buyer not a reseller for this watch. I would like to take to Reeds to make sure it is authentic and not a well done copy.

$3k for an authentic piece is a solid price even with b/p. What serial?
Took a quick look at the bezel near the band pins it is there. The clasp is stamped an not scribed. This purchase is more of a diversifaction in investments than a timepiece that will be worn. I will let you guys
know how it works out in the next couple of weeks.

Post pics of it. I wanna see it!
Got a couple good deals recently. Nothing too fancy considering i’m no watch connoisseur, but i liked the looks/styling of both of these:
Mine’s stainless with Rose Gold…couldn’t get a pic to work on my computer here at work though of the one with Rose Gold…but you get the idea:
And i needed something with diamonds…love my ice 
The next on my list will be a Movado…then i think i’ll be satisfied for a while. But these things are a damn addiction…i never saw myself into them, but then i got a good deal on the Invicta i originally posted…and now i want more.
I have a a few citizens, an invicta, boluva, and seiko. I want to get into something swiss at this point but not sure if i want to drop the $ right now, but got the itch. When i drop the $ i am looking into oris or ball watch, but i am wondering how tissot’s are to cure my itch for a new one? Anyone rock a tissot?
retail isnt a function of residual value, residual value is a loose function of retail.
i get the concept of brand equity, i just don’t see alot of value in the Rolex brand other than the actual brand.
Accuracy is not a value point on autos. obviously a 18k watch has higher value, i just cant get around double the price for a Rolex Sub (non-gold) vs. an Omega Seamaster since they are very similar pieces… except that the Omega has more dial arrangement options.
My dad has a collection of some watches…I’ll try and snap some photos.
3g is a steal for an authentic 18k/ss sub. i doubt it got sapphire,original band or newer than 85.
Just bought an Oris this morning.
More pictures when it arrives:
You guys don’t have to drop a mint to get something unique and stylish.
My Aristo. Swiss made manual wind.
My Archimede. German manufacturer, Swiss movement. Automatic Flieger.
first one looks russian.
Aristo is a German company. The watch was manufactured in Switzerland with a Russian movement (Molnija 3603).
The Archimede is a German co. German manufactured piece with a Swiss ETA2824-2 movement. This is the same movement in many Omega watches.
^ There are worse out there…
