·“of course if you are offering cash to the seller you can always negotiate…”
Cash talks….don’t be afraid to haggle a little

·It is, indeed, the price after having negotiated if I pay cash. I have added one more picture of a lug. Any thoughts about those and the previous polishing if there was any? (I fully understand that it may be impossible to tell with so little pictures). I will try to take more later if the watch is still available.

·Hello gents,
Just came across an interesting one today, at least in terms of price. I did not have my phone with me to take more pictures unfortunately but the full set is price at USD $12,300
It has some scratches but looks ok and much cheaper than the other that I have seen.
This one looks good at last, in terms of both case conditions and patina.

·Unfortunately I missed it. Someone bought it before I decided to pull the trigger.
At the end of the day I decided that my first purchase is gonna be a 16613 black and gold. But quote hard to find...

·Hello gents,
Since I have narrowed down my selection and now only focusing on a TT 16613 black and gold, I came across these 2 watches to submit to your trained eyes. Both of them are located where I live. I deeply apologies for the quality of the pictures but it is either crappy phone or crappy light....
First one is from 1991 and has been sold in Taiwan in April 1991 (I was born in April 1991). Watch alone with papers. Scratches on the bezel and those weird white stains. History unknown. Polishing looks more or less ok except maybe on one lug (where the spring bar is quite near the hole). 12 links. Priced at USD $11,700.
Second one is from 1997, sold in Hong Kong, from 1997. Set includes watch, papers, booklet, green tag, and box. Booklet and box don't belong to the watch. Bezel in good shape. 11 links (one just has been added prior to the watch put to sell) but looks really polished to me. Can hardly see the original shape of the lugs and the 3 dots on the crown are almost gone. History unknown. Priced at USD $13,400

I personally prefer the 16600 to any 16613, and if I should buy a 16613 I would go fo a blue one.
That said the 1997 is the best one imo.
