REF 16570 Explorer II "Polar" Advice

HI

Looking at a 16570 Explorer II. Serial puts 2005-2006 period but was a black dial Explorer II from the factory. AD put on a POLAR dial after sold. Hands are correct black as well.

No box no papers... with this in mind what is a fair market valuation?

Cheers,

You can look at chrono24 or other sites to determine fair market value. This one should be less. My advice, walk away and find an original watch. There are many polar and black 16570's on the market. Newer and watches in great condition fetch a premium. You get what you pay for. Good luck.

Cheers,
I wouldn’t buy a watch that has been altered in anyway after leaving the factory

I would personally pass. You ever decide to sell it two things going against you and you will take a bath big time.
