Serial L80XXXX Watch Sold Date: May 1991 (Sao Paoulo-Brazil) Price: 12.000 Euros + Shipping. Payment by Wire Transfer to my Wise Account. If you are in the UK I am more than happy to travel to London and meet F2F. Watch is located in Spain and you are more than welcome to come here for a F2F deal.

One from here in the forum and also from TRF. This watch was sold to me by Mentawatches in Miami and I will happily include the invoice from the sale. I am selling it because I am in the hunt of a Daytona and need some $$ LOL Any questions please feel free to DM.
This listing has a lot of eyes on it from the usual suspects. For any new-comers who have wanted a classic tritium Sub and are waiting to see where this listing goes- this is a war of attrition among the heavy hitters, don’t wait long.
We can only edit the posts we make in the sales forum. We can edit/delete them in the general forum. Very nice and detailed pics!
Thanks for all the bumps. Made me laugh a lot the other day but I have seen some have been deleted. There has been some questioning about the legitimacy of the papers of this watch. Please fell free to visit this threads if you want to know more. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/vintagerolexforum/16610-with-handwritten-papers-t268295.html https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=11773953#post11773953 I will bump this with a side by side comparison for those that doubt the oldness of the paper and ink on the paper. I will try contact Smithsonian for a carbon 14 dating to see if something can be arranged. The other paper in the photo comes from this set I bought. http://www.db1983.com/our-archive/rolex-datejust-16030-white-buckley-bp-1985?imageID=0 Happy weekend bump.
Initially, I was not going to comment on the papers, but since you have graciously acknowledged some chatter on other forums, I will say that hand written papers really don’t add any value to the watch. The watch by itself should be the focal point of this sale. It’s a gorgeous neo-vintage in fantastic condition. For me, the papers create unnecessary noise. GLWS
great example. Have the exact same year 16610 (1989) Lovely case and one of the last of hole date subs. 14060M was, believe the last pin hole sub. GLWS
