16750 worth this price?

[starass]

Hi all,

my relative is selling me his rolex 16750 gmt master for S$4000. There are a few scratches here and there.
I was told the watch is year 1990. I saw an old post whereby forumer posted this link

What are the things i should look out for before committing?

[Watcha]

It's your relative.

So long its moving, no devastating damages. Just buy.

Check the service history. if never service for 11 years, do a servicing.
If have box/papers then

my 2 cents.

[chershen]

agree. relative then just take. the price is reasonable, very reasonable.

[psee]

Agree with bro Watcha and chershen ... Since seller is your relative, he should be reliable. Price sounds reasonable.

Whoo, you can call Antiquorum, Christie or Sotheby. I bet they give you a goods price consider that it a more than two decade watch..

I think i need to bring the watch to RSC for authentication before committing.
But just in case if any of the parts or not original, can they be replaced to original 1? Will it be costly to do so?

[Watcha]

if you send to RSC, chances is they will recommend a expensive overhaul.

chances of non original movement parts is very low IMO.

my 2 cents

Hi all, I decided not to go for the 16750, but got the 15210 instead for 4k. I tried checking the forum and found that many people are actually selling this at 3k++ for a white dial. Mine is a blue dial.

Anyone care to explain the difference in the dial colour? Do you guys think the watch is too expensive at 4k? Am I being carrot?

Hi all, eventually I settled for a date 15210 at 4k. I did a search in the forum and found many are selling 15210 white dial at 3k++

Mine is a blue dial, is there any difference? Am I being carrot buying at 4k?

May i know why u pass the 16750?
Yes, BIG carrot.

[starass]

LOL, wrong info. He was actually offering 5.5k, thats Why i decided to pass it.

[Heng Tin Hong]

If you buy 16750 at 4k,than the seller is a carrot.

If you buy 15210 at 4k,than you are not carrot but carrot juice.

Cause instead of take the knife & cut you,he put you inside the brander.
