I'm in a similar situation with my explorer 2 226570. Originally I loved it and now I just don't wear it. Waiting for the right time to trade it in for something else I think.

That’s not a “hit”, that is a love tap. Move on and get the watch you really want.

That’s a great deal from an AD and the value will only keep going down. Selling privately and only getting another 1k is silly with all the risk involved.

You might be better off doing a trade for something you like and will wear more. Bestof luck.

Again thanks for the comments. MPK’s picture is the same model I’m posting about. It is a great watch. My friend is delighted to buy it, and I’d rather sell it to him instead of the dealer knowing it will have a good home.
Frankly I was surprised that two dealers were willing to pay $7,000 for the watch in today’s market. I had expected offers closer to $6,000. The watch retails for just over $8k, and was nearer $7k before recent price increases. So my friend gets a good deal - he’s happy; I take a “love tap” (love that term - thank you Mystro) instead of a hit on resale, and I’m happy as well. As someone noted I am more of a one watch guy, and after buying the DJ TT in 1981 it was my only watch worn everyday for over 20 years. It had a Rolex service last year and wasn’t polished, keeping the original patina, dial and hands. The bracelet was lightly retouched, but barely noticeable. Paring down my collection to one dress/nostalgia watch (81 DJ) and an everyday do it all (BB58) makes life simple, which I appreciate more and more as the years roll by. |

Personally…I’d take the hit and trade for something I’d wear

Paralysis by analysis. Sell it. A watch not worn is a truly useless item.

Of note, you have taken the "hit" whether you keep it or not.

That actually looks really great on you. You might want to just put it in the rotation. It will make you look forward to wearing the others, when their turn.

Wow
I literally just traded in a Datejust that I also impulse purchased last year. I realized that I only wore it a handful of times, and I could probably calculate the price per day I wore it ! Email Takuya or DavidSW. I just did and got a super fair offer from Takuya. I’ve never dealt with an online / out of state “trusted seller” before - but everyone’s comments were right. Immediate answer - and super easy and safe process to sell / trade. Sent me an insured label for overnight delivery etc. I’d check with the above two, and take the highest offer between them or your local dealer. For 1k or less in difference, just go with the safest option. I would never sell privately - too risky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You may or may not have gotten caught up in the “AD games,” now come the consequences. If you don’t wear it, sell it. Very simple. |

Moda dealers have very thin margins. I’ve sold to them for substantially more than brick and mortar dealers.
Sold one that I just didn’t bond with to one of their big name dealers. He sold the watch without the box the day after he received it for the same price he’d just paid me. Then turned around and sold the box for $200 which was his profit on the deal |
