Submariner no papers
Discussion
Hi
Mrs wants to get me a submariner for a big birthday and we have found a mint unmarked boxed one in our local jewellery shop for £5800 (non date). They are an established firm for generations , known as clock makers and service Rolex (and other premium brands ) unofficially. They will guarantee the watch for a year and seviced prior to sale. The question I ask is do lack of papers make much of a difference to price?

The list price is £5750 for a brand new No Date Ceramic Sub I picked mine up on Friday only 6 weeks after putting a 20% deposit down with my local AD on Bond St.
Why pay over list price for a watch that has no papers?
Personally I would be happy knowing I had a brand new one on order for my birthday rather than having a second hand one with no papers on the day. But each to their own.

I know some people on here will say you are buying the watch not the papers
IMO with a watch like a Sub which has a good resale value / investment side it's worth having papers. You never know if you will have to sell it.
If we were discussing an entry level Tag/Longines I would say papers are not crucial

Box and papers are usually worth around £500. It sounds like they have already built that into the price as mint pre-owned non-Date ceramic Subs are going for a premium over new,
I'd snap it up. This one is a lot more than the one you've spotted.
