Trouble - Trying to buy

[brigadoonb]

Long time reader here....

Trying to find another Rolex...preferably a used Explorer II polar (16570) or a used platinum 40mm Yatchmaster. Trouble is...my local ADs (Denver) rarely have the Yatchmaster in stock to try and local second hand stores have yet to call me to let me know a polar is in. Local ADs want 20% deposit to bring into store just to try the Yatchmaster on. I don't want to buy a watch without trying it on first. Actually thinking about printing out actual sized images and see how it would look on my wrist first for starters.....just because I can't get my hands on the real deal.

Any tips from people who ran into the same problem?

Both of those references can be bought with a good discount from bigger ADs.

Sounds like a good weekend away to me....

i ended up using a trusted seller on the forums. I saw the watch in a second hand shop earlier this year and used to think id never buy a rolex. but the explorer 2, 16570 caught my eye and I couldnt let go. I even went ebay the first time, but sent it back. there is a mint 16570 on the for sale atm, but no B&P....

Trusted forum seller is likely the best way to proceed. I love my 16570 fwiw. Good luck in securing yours!!!
