New to this forum
Just signed up today, a big Rolex fan looking to purchase one in the next month or so. I like the submariner 116613lb 2015 blue and gold a lot of you are probably familiar with. I'm looking at the best prices brand new and dream watches do it for £7399.00. Is this a good deal. Any one feel free to share your views and experiences. Thanks... Oh my name is James name would help lol haha.

£7400 is not a bad price but certainly no bargain.

First welcome to TRF why would you think anyone want to get a lot of attention by wearing a Rolex.Most of Joe public would not even look or care if you was wearing any watch.Now if you are only buying a Rolex to seek attention then do not buy one, as that's for the wrong reason.Buy a Rolex because you want to own and wear one of the finest mechanical watches made today.If you want attention then stick a sign on your forehead look I am wearing a Rolex.Then you might get some attention but for the wrong reasons.With all most all things we buy Insurance may be a good idea,but I think we all pay Insurance but deep down just hope we will never need to use it.

Price sounds about right. I would go with Iconic unless Dreamwatches are local to you.
