My friend’s parent’s jewelry store has a Bluesy (ref 16613) in “like new” condition + box from 2008 for 10k. I had been contemplating buying a Rolex, but wasn’t super set on it. Is this a solid deal? Chrono24 seems to have couple years older ones for around 8-10k in very good/with papers, so not sure if I should keep shopping around

Let your friends parents know what you saw and see if you can get a friends and family discount for $8K

Buy the watch cuz you want it though, not just cuz they have it

Not a bad deal IMO but it probably won’t appreciate being a non SS model.

I don’t know, but that sure is a beauty!

How old are you, PO? This is generally not viewed as a young man’s watch.

What Rolex were YOU thinking about buying? Or did you just want a “Rolex”?

If it’s the latter, then this is actually a pretty good option if you can get the “friends and family” discount. 2008 was the last year they made this version before switching to the modern ceramic style Sub.

I like the Bluesy the most, since it’s not as overwhelmingly blue as the smurf. I think the Kermit looks a bit better with a black rubber B band than the Bluesy with a rubber B, since it doesn’t have as many contrasting colors, but bezel wise Bluesy is my favorite
