Help With Value

I just bought my first Rolex and took it to a local Jewler who told me I got a great deal on it but could not tell me what it was worth. Can someone assist me on this site? Here are the specifics:

Steel Date Watch, silver roman edge dianmond dial on custom setting. Model #1500, Rolex Caliber 1570 I have the serial number but not sure if I should list that. The watch has a new stainless steel custom oyster band.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks,

Sean

If you paid less than a thousand dollars, I would say you got a decent deal! Pics?

WELCOME aboard!!

....now this picture thingy can be quite the CHALLENGE, ESPECIALLY if you are like me and not very computer literate.

....however, some of the mod's will be very helpful in walking you thru it, as they were with me.

You have a Rolex watch and you love wearing it.. You were told that you got a good deal and yet you still want a bunch of Rolex enthusiasts/purists to come up with a dollar value for you....

Are you sure you really want that ????

Some of us can be pretty brutal...especially with watches sporting "custom" dials and "custom" bracelets...

I agree if you like what you bought, then you got a good deal.

For resale, post a pic but if you paid 1500 to 2K for a date diamond dial, then you probably got a fair price.
