Is this watch unused?

I have just worn my Brand new Daytona for three days, I left the plastic covers on and it is starting to wear like those ( I left them on as it's my 50th present and that's not until Feb) so I would say its been worn but not much!

Looks like a very nice 16710 GMT Master II. These were discontinued in 2006, so the latest will be 7-8 years old. This looks like it's probably as good as you'll find. There is some 'lifting' of the clear plastic case stickers, and some dirt under the edges of the caseback sticker. Looks good, at worst it may have been carefully tried on a couple of times. Other than that, find a better one!

Nice find, how much is it?

It's five grand or there abouts. The reason I ask is because I see quite a lot of "unworn" Rolex sports watches with stickers that are ruby or worn through (like this one).

I rightly or wrongly assume that such watches are not unworn but instead worn with stickers still on.

Hi Eleven,

This one's not worn through. The green 'hologram' sticker is covered by the large clear sticker. Which shows signs of dirt around its' edges. Possibly due to poor storage, or being carefully worn once or twice. £5k or thereabouts is the right price. However, its' value is in the fact that it's unworn or as close to as possible.

My 2 cents, it looks a good'n!

Hope this helps...

Thanks Dominic, I am not in the market for one right now but intrigued by the watches that are advertised as unworn. Some clearly are - stickered with clean looking plastic. Others look a bit rough around the edges.

I have a 10 year old 16613 Sub that still has the plastic cover over the green sticker with the model number and it looks like your pic in that it's peeled off slightly and dirt has stuck to the edges. I thought it best to leave it on for as long as possible.
I only wear it on very special occasions as it has tremendous sentimental value, so it's maybe been worn once a year for 10 years.
