Advice on possible Submariner purchase

[d8mok]

I decided I'd buy my first proper watch last year , and have loved wearing it since. However I had a plan that this watch would be my daily wear forever as it was a gift to myself for my upcoming wedding and maybe one day it would be passed down etc.

I've owned a black bay with the new in house movement since October and think it's a great watch. However I can see me in years to come always wishing I'd gone for a non date sub. My wedding is at the end of July so I'd need to act quickly. I couldn't justify 2 watches as I'd end up not using the expensive one.

Shall I go for the sub and cherish it forever, and wear it everyday or stay with the Tudor and hope the itch goes away.

Where best to advertise a watch of this value should I want to sell? eBay with cash on collection ?

What's my chances of walking into a Rolex dealer and getting a non date sub at rrp before July?

Thanks

I have tried a friends sub on yesterday and yes it's a lovely watch.

Any thoughts about buying a sub in Spain? Travel to Madrid a fair amount as my girlfriend is spanish.

I've found a watch in stock. But I need to sell mine first. Nobody fancy a black bay?

I've had a offer on my Tudor. Guys wants to pay by a bank transfer whilst he is collecting in person. Is there any danger from my point of view ? Can it be reversed?

Managed to sell my Tudor last night.

My new problem is sorting that my home insurance (AA) wont cover items over £5k.

I cant under-declare the value as they wont pay any amount without seeing a reciept.

I can cancel my current policy and take a new one at almost double the price with them

Or i can request for it to be excluded from my current policy. But there is no guarantee they will do this. I then would have to buy a stand alone policy. Who is good to use? THmarch quoted £136 which seems loads to me but ive no real idea.

Any advice?

Now sorted regarding insurance. Halifax seem the way to go and cancel my current policy.


Rang about 20 AD's today and not found a non date sub. If anyone see's one out there let me know please.

Sorry it's a new one I'm after. Used ones and ones at a premium are easy to find but not wanting to pay above retail.
