Rolex explorer 2 help!

[kevino547]

Hey,
I'm ready to buy my first rolex watch and I'm just wondering If I'm getting a good deal
It's a Rolex explorer 2 mint condition box and papers
2005 F serial number comes with original box and rolex papers.
Thanks!!

Oh and I forgot to mention 4895$

Pics man

[Nycturbovr6]

Yeah you need pics but just from the info you gave it sounds like a Fairly good deal if the watch is pristine

[G-Web]

Congrats on your first.
Sounds a little to high to me.
Have a look in the For Sale section, and search 16570. You should be able to find an F serial full set a little less. If you're okay with the amount mentioned, you should be able to find one a little newer, Z or M.

Please make sure your seller is reputable though, that's the most important thing.

Best,
-GW

Photos? Service history? From what you have said, I'd be looking at 4.5 or less, and thinking sbout an RSC service.

They've been in the business for over 15 years
So pretty much I should ask when it was serviced and service it again?
Thanks guys

Depends if its been serviced in the last 2 or 3 years. But I usually get an RSC service on a new (used) watch right away.

i think thats a decent, go for it........white dial i hpe

[kevino547]

It was just serviced and has a 2 year warranty

Seems reasonable, but before you pull the trigger, check out watchrecon.com for average selling price based on condition and history, and what trusted sellers have for sale here. Best of luck...

[Sunny Arizona]

You can do better.

[watchwatcher]

Lots of variables here..could be a decent price but do your homework first.

[1995akcoop]

that would normally sound like a good price to me but there is a Z serial with engraved rehaut for about that price

Neil (JIZEAL) usually has some nice ones and will be cheaper.

[kevino547]

Just got it reduced to 4700$ does it change anything told the guy I found better he reduced an extra 200$
Any thoughts guys?

[Old Expat Beast]

Ask him if it includes the outer box and the Your Rolex Oyster booklet, so you may get a bit more off for it not quite being a full set, and looks like it may only be 11 bracelet links. Get another thrown in. I still say 4.5k is the right price though.

By the way, the full retail price he quotes is for the 216570 not the 16570. Things like that suggest a shifty dealer to me.

[kevino547]

Thank you.
Now I'm thinking of just buying a brand new 216570 what is a good price to buy at?

[Old Expat Beast]

Take a look in the classifieds here...should be plenty of new ones for sale from trusted sellers. Try one on in a dealer first though. See if you like the size, look and weight.
