Does it come complete, ie with original box and papers? Another consideration is the condition of the watch. I'm not too sure if it is worthy a buy but for your benefit, I can share that a 'M' series (will have inner ring engrave+no pinholes), pre-own, local, condition "LNIB" (about 95% new), with full, complete set, costs in the range $6.2k to $6.6k.

Be your own judge. Happy shopping!

Sub 16610 U

Hey there, thanks for the advice. The watch comes complete with anchor tag, box, papers, the works!. Glad you share the gem of an info re M series.. I do hear that without pin holes is 'better'. Will continue to shop around and pass this one given the better choice and narrow price diff. Though it's big on a female wrist but I do like the sub.Thks again.

It's not about w/o pinholes is 'better' la.... It's personal preference and why this is perceived because w/o pinholes means a newer design. Seriously, I think a Submariner looks sexy on any ladies' wrist. Saw a few ladies carrying the watch well on their slim wrists. Never fails to catch my eyes!
