Hello from Belgium

Hi,

My name is Thomas. I'm an engineer living in Belgium.

I received a Rolex from a family member, and I'm wondering how much is it worth.

Watchsmith confirmed it is authentic. It is a 1018 Rolex, and seems to have a vintage explorer dial (1016). I was told it's valued at 1000-1500 euro, is that correct?

Welcome, I would say that is a fair estimate, maybe a little less given that the dial is not original to the watch and looks like it has seen better days.
