Exp II (216570) on eBay authentic?

I'm trying to figure out if ~$7k for a new unworn Exp II is the right price (on eBay). Almost all the sellers have 100% ratings (with some obvious fake reviews). The listings include the warranty card and papers...is that usually good enough to believe it is authentic?

A new unworn explorer II should be around $6500 from a grey market seller. Your paying his fees. The price itself doesn't justify it as real, but if there's any problem with it between eBay and PayPal your protected. Have it checked right away. But at $7000, you could do better here on the forum for sure!

better still, why risk buying from ebay when there are enough Trusted Sellers here? Then you would/should not to be asking if the watch you are buying is authentic.

No, thats not good enough.

You have to give it to a watchmaker to check authenticity.

If you cant do that. Then buy from a reputable dealer.

Do more research your not ready to buy a Rolex. If you can't buy from a authorized dealer Best option is buy from a seller in these forums. For example someone like OCRolexguy or DavidSW.

Many trusted sellers here but I buy off of ebay/paypal so we both are protected. You never have to worry about it being authentic because you are protected. I never have problems. Speaking for myself though.
