Rolex Submariner or Milgauss - pricing advice wanted !
Discussion
Ok, let me be clear that I don't know much about watches and haven't really ever been that interested in watches to be honest. Hence my request for assistance.
I own a Tag F1 from 1991 (with the rubber strap) and a few years ago I bought a Seamaster via Dominic H in an attempt to prove to myself that I could happily wear a metal bracelet on a watch!
I now find myself looking to "trade up" this year and have been looking at a Submariner Date steel and also a white dial Milgauss - both quite different of course but I like them.
How much should I expect to pay for an "excellent condition" watch that is perhaps only 2-3 years old? I can see how much watches are advertised for but the subsequent sale price isn't clear!
I watched a Dec '09 Submariner Date on Ebay receive no bids at £4k (private). An '05 watch failed to make reserve when bidding finished at £3200.
Can anyone give me any pointers please? Information and advice very much appreciated.

Simkin,
Hello (Frenchy PCGB 944) i have a Sub Annniversary, great watch, but as with cars look at a few different models and try them on, see what suits, go with what you like, generaly you will not lose much money with a Rolex and indeed some will go up in value.
Omega are as god TBH but prices rising, I also have a few Tag, some of the Carrera Auto's are great IMO.
PM me through the forum if you want a crack on watches.
