RB, I'll break out the digicam and do you a couple of pix on the morrow.
I know some chaps who have the sea dweller, it looks a nice piece. I have eyed up some Omega's in the past but a couple of years ago I was given a TAG Targa Florio by the Wife for my birthday......an attempt to present me in a more civil manner, I think.
A friend used to deal in Rolex as a hobby and he always used to say that the best place to go was the auctions or private purchase.........but make sure the anchor, box and all the paperwork is included. Here's a tip for you, he told me that dealers have to buy a pack from Rolex and they only get one Sub or GMT in it if they are lucky, but they always get a solid gold whatever in the pack. Now apparently £10-12,000.00 watches are hard to shift so they will do upto 50% discount on one just to clear it out of the display.........preferably a provincial jeweller, you don't see many farmers wearing solid gold Rolex.
I swear by Rolex, I used to destroy Army G10 watches and I went thru 5 Seiko Chrono's by the time I was 25.....the Sub just keeps ticking, well, sweeping.
cost 1986: £700.00
