Not really wanting to bundle my s/s Rolex Sub Date on ebay with all the trash so going to place a private add on here. Just unsure about price.

Any thoughts on where these are right now?

Mine is a 2010, complete with all papers and is in very good condition.

£500 cheaper than one on watch finder.

Depends what you call mint, when I was looking for a sub, most were well off what I would class as mint.

People say you can get them for 3k on here but that's way off the price for a nice one.

So yes prices are all over the shop.

Last of the line, 2010 dated random serial 'full set' 16610 Subs are on sale at specialist dealers for around the £4750-4850 region, so private sale I think you'd be looking at somewhere around the £4000-4250 mark.

Watching (if you will pardon the pun) this thread and the classifieds with interest.

sold mine a few months ago - 2010 model with the rolexrolexrolexserialno bezel (whatever that is called) for £4100 to a fellow member on here.

Did a case&bracelet polish before sale so was mint - and seemed to be a fair price.

eta: Correction, mine was a 2008 - time flies!

Jon, it was I who bought your Sub. It's a fantastic watch in great condition but I just haven't "gelled" with it in the way I hoped that I would...

Onwards and Upwards!

Ah, of course, sorry Mark - didn't remember the username.

Shame, lovely watch. I have moved into a Tag Grand Carrera RS2 Calibre 17 (CAV518K) but still miss the Sub!

There is a not-much frequented area on here, tz UK is not available to you for 6 months after joining, unless you farm it out to Watchfinder, Dom H or Blowers, it's eBay for you.

Chrono24 costs you money and unless yours is the cheapest on there, it won't sell. Plus why buy privately when there's always a dealer who'll do it for less.

eBay is fine, sold tens of thousands of pounds of watches on there with zero hassle.

Check the completed listings...

List on the bay with a good high buy it now and invite offers. Set to auto-reject offers which are silly. Make sure in the text you INSIST that people contact you, that you will only do a face to face and cash on collection is the only way it's going to happen. Weeds out the chaff and leaves the scamers nowhere to go. Just make sure you get the wording right or the advert will be rejected.

Anyone with 3k+ to spend on a sub will meet you face to face. If they won't wait, wait for someone who will. Meet in a bank, coffee shop, somewhere very public and there's no risk at all to either party.

I prefer to regard mine as a savings account on my wrist paying 8 per cent.
