hi all seniors,

like to ask a few noob questions on buying BNIB rolex from non-AD/2nd shop/grey market:

1) the rolex watch will surely be from other countries AD? this is how they achieve the lower price?
2) and the warranty surely will be dated few months back? meaning technically this is a 2nd hand watch?
3) how to check if a BNIB is really unworn/new?

So 1 year plus sub no date should sell around which range.

I did abit of research. 114060 2nd hand around 7.5k.

no date have a cleaner dial. prefer ND however not all AD have stocks i think
my AD only had with date and quoted me after discount was 10.5k at THG.

[leslie]

no date is good if you change watches frequently. i just need to set the time and go.

[ianlohkcuk]

Good point about frequency of wearing.

[Railgun]

Sub date is still the classic mariner dive watch...

To my opinion, A no date is a no hassle, and also simpler mechanism that minimises the chance of wear and tear to the crown in the long run.
