Just wondering if there are any rolex watches that may appreciate in value and are currently £4-6k, new or second hand?

Have been offer a SS white face Daytona (d series) without b&p but in good condition with owners history. £6k / 9000 USD.

Does this seem a fair price?

Seems a reasonable price, retails currently a bit over £7k, but for that money I'd be wanting a mint watch with b & p.

There are a few on Chrono24.com at the moment, some for less than yours, some for more, but the majority have a box and papers with the watch.

You also mention a price in USD? If you're buying from the States, then expect to pay a fair bit of duty when it enters the UK. I've been stung this way on more than one occasion... Apologies if you are actually in America. smile

ETA: Forget about making money on watches (unless you're a dealer). I just buy mine to wear and enjoy and, on the odd occasion I do reluctantly sell something, it's a bonus to me if I don't actually make a loss. biggrin

Hmm, the one I've been offered isn't mint. I think it'll at least need a polish. Buying from a trusted source so confident it's mechanically sound.

My concern with Chrono24 is buying from someone trustworthy/legit. Have heard horror stories and understand a lot of due diligence required. I'm busy these days so don't have enough time for that, otherwise I'd be buying from there.

Not buying from the US. It's just the price quoted to me was in USD.

I don't intend on selling it but if bought at the right price, I should not be out of pocket too much if I ever have to sell.

Sea Dweller 16660 or 16600 or Sub 5513 will all look after your money if bought well.
