1978 datejust vs 2004 datejust
Ive seen 2 watches, different sellers, both reputable companies:
the 1978 has all papers, 100% original and last 3 rolex services at 3 year intervals, last one was 2015 they want £3,100-00 for it. the other is a 2004, with box and papers but no service history same watch all except this one has a silver tapestry dial £2,600-00 Am i missing something, are the older ones in good order more valuable than the later ones or is it like a vintage car, buy on condition? Help please, I'm close to doing the deal. Thanks, Craig |

$4400 for a 1978 Datejust, complete set, seems rather steep. Photos of the watch and box set would help determine a price.

so is there a reason what a 78 would be priced more than a 2004?

the seller is asking a very high premium for "provenance". On a regular DJ it is not likely worth it..

It's hard to say anything without pics, but from what you've told us, I'd go for 2004. No doubt in my mind. '78 going through so many services might not be such a good thing, they might have butchered the case etc... Like I said, hard to tell without pics.

the seller states that it has papers and a rolex warranty until october 2017?
not sure how that can be though. http://www.officialwatches.com/rolex...-16220-ow41394 what about this one, I know it's not a complete set but he said he will do a deal, I was looking at £2,600? Opinions welcomed:) |
