Looking for a Previously Owned Black 216570

[gypsy jim]

I've been absent awhile. I own a Submariner 168000 but have wanted a GMT forever. You gave me great advice back in the day and sent me to Bob Ridley to have my 168000 gone through. I've been thinking about a 42 mm Explorer II in black. I have the local AD, the internet in general, Ebay, Facebook marketplace, Bob's, the local pawn shop, and the guy on the corner in the trench coat selling a genuine Rolex for 300 bucks. I know the smart choice is a trusted seller here on the forum. So, how do I know who's truly trusted? The number of posts? If they have a boutique? Thanks in advance for any advice. No need for PMs with watches for sale, just advise me on the best watch buying experience. Thanks, Jimmy.

Local AD. Assuming you're good with the latest model 226750, it won't be much of a wait and you'll have a 100% peace of mind with the purchase.

In the for sale section the list of sellers within the list boutique sellers like David sw and Takuya have got a good reputation from the positive feedback they get on here,you could try them out if not sellers like oc watch guy or tropical watch maybe worth a look

Takuya is great for a watch at such price.

Any of the guys in the classified section listed under "Rolex Boutiques".

Look at the sponsors of our latest giveaway and you have a good idea who is trusted and has the track record to deliver the watch you want with no issues. DavidSW is my go to seller but I have done business with most of the big Trusted Sellers with no issues. Each of these sellers have a website and a most have a brick and mortar store. Look at the web page, remember asking price and getting price are usually very different. Find the watch you want, get on the phone and have a respectful conversation. Ask for a discount that makes it work for you and buy the watch. You will receive the watch by lunch the day after you pay and start your ownership experience. Good luck.
