myaz 3 Posted June 7, 2012 Also does any one ever buy boxes or is there no real point ??? A few, very few like boxes but there's no point to them. A nice box and impressive papers is what ADs give you to help justify the price. if you still like boxes, consider a display case that can house multiple watches as your collection is likelty to grow.

UmpaHimself 222 Posted June 7, 2012 Ayo! Mary & Rochest have this Submariner for $98 in the specials section. It would be a good starter watch. Are you in fact looking for the Sub or the Deepsea Sea-Dweller? Theres a difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conx 0 Posted June 7, 2012 Hi Franki - you want a Sub ? You are in the right place. What makes you say that Because every TD will be able to get you a sub - and they will have various options in different price bands and different colours, different versions, ceramic, vintage.......

Theres a difference would you say there was much difference between that and http://www.trustytim...roducts_id=9252 i do keep coming back to this !!! I would say the main difference is they are different watches - one a Submariner, the other a SeaDweller ! The sea dweller does not have a cyclops over the date window. The Submariner in question has a ceramic bezel. Strap is different etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
