2007 TT Blue Face Sub

Just one word.......

MINT.....








$5500 shipped to lower 48.... Best price in USA,, maybe the world.....


My wife purchased this "Z" series for me as a gift.... I purchased the new GMT II the same day without letting he know...

Well, now one has to go... The TT is very nice - but I beat the crap out of my Rolex (boating, diving, working, etc).. The TT is too nice for that..

It was sized, worn once and put back in the box, with all papers, boxes, etc...

Hey, I can help with that. I just learned how so it's still fresh in my mind. If possible, use a PC instead of an Apple laptop. At least, that's been my experience.

1. Set up an account at www.photobucket.com. It's free.
2. Upload the photos of your watch there.
3. Use "New Tab" on your computer (under File near upper left) and log on to TRF. Now you should have your Photo Bucket page on one tab and your TRF page on the other.
4. Start your post on TRF.
5. When you're ready to insert your photos, go to the Photo Bucket tab.
6. Click on "IMG Code" below the photo you want to post. This part is tricky. You literally click on "IMG Code", not the stuff in the box next to it. When you click on "IMG Code" you'll see a small yellow box that says "Copied" appear for just a second.
7. Now click on your TRF tab. Click on the "Insert Image" icon that appears at the top (5th from the right) of the box you're posting in. A box will pop up that says "Please enter the URL of your image" and begins "http://". Delete "http://" so that the line is now empty.
8. Press your "Ctrl" and "V" keys. Why? How the hell do I know? But your photo's url will now appear on that line you just cleared once you do this.
9. The line will start and end with "[/IMG]". Delete both of those. This isn't critical but if you don't then they'll appear next to your photos and everyone will laugh at you.
10. The good news is you're almost through.
11. Now click the "Ok" button and voila! You'll note that the line in your post will both start and end with "[/IMG]". Don't worry about it. They won't appear in the finished post so no one will laugh at you.
12. Check your work by clicking the "Preview" button.
13. Repeat as needed.

Hope this helps.

All of this just goes to show computer programmers still have a ways to go. This is a whole lot more complicated than it should be but not so bad once you get the hang of it.

We all definitely know what Bluey looks like but with the high number of fakes out there (to include the attempted sale of one on this very forum just the other day) most buyers here are just a little more thorough (and justifiably so). Nice price and I'm sure it will move quickly.

Agree - I will do anything with in reason to assure a Buyer that it is real and a it will be safe transaction... Including escrowing funds with my attorney with instructions only to be released upon receipt and inspection of the watch...

When was it purchased and where? What methods of payment are you requesting? Do you have any references on here? You can reply in a PM if you would like.

I'm interested, but a little concern with all these fakes floating around.

We purchased it last month from a dealer on the TimeZone.com forum.. He is located in Tampa... I have purchased 2 watches from the same dealer...

I have no referenced as I am not a dealer - but I will be happy to provide any personal information requested... Method of payment would be wire, cert funds, etc..

The funds can be wired into my attorneys escrow account and I will sign an escrow agreement giving the buyer final approval to disperse funds upon inspection...

And if anyone wants to meet me in Vegas next Friday I will be happy to deliver it...

To my understanding, your wife purchased it from someone selling it on TimeZone.com. And that she did not purchased it at a brick and mortar Rolex authorized dealer.

Do you mind PMing me your username that you use on TimeZone. I came across someone selling a Blue TT sub on there with a similar price and location. I would like to know if it is you or someone else.

Would you be open to a PayPal payment since I prefer to use my credit card for the protection just in case.

Of course if this deal goes through, I'm planning to take it to the Dallas Rolex Service Center for verification on authenticity since they are close to where I work.

I wonder. In the pictures where are the papers? Do you have papers? If so you should include them in a picture.

Did you buy this second hand? Was it not bought from an AD?

Why are the papers in the picture showing the back side of the papers? Not the side with the information on the watch i.e. model #, serial # and x Steel and yellow gold. The hologram other side might be better to show for sale purposes. Maybe some better pictures would help your sale as well.

Looks like its in French - Says "kirk Freeport is the distributor in the Cayman Islands...

I never even looked at it before... The guy I purchased from is a legit long time seller on timezone so I wasnt too concerned... I can take a picture of the front tomorrow... To tired right now to get out the camera

Like I said before, post some decent pics otherwise your just wasting people's time and this thread will turn into something that is unnecessary if simply you would have posted decent pics. Informed you about 2-3 weeks ago that that's what you needed if wanted to sell your watch. Just take 15 min and grab some decent pics, it's as simple as that. At this point you are simply "burning" potential buyers and sooner rather than later there will be no interest at all.

If your saying the guy on TimeZone in Tampa wasnt the original guy - I would say that is correct ..

He purchases top quality LNIB watches and sells them on TimeZone...

I don't think that this will help your sale. A link to the place that the guy that your wife bought it from got it from?

The rolex link on his site takes you to the Rolex website?

I think what people are asking for here is for YOU to take some better pictures of your watch for sale.
