Jeffex · 18 January 2013, 06:55 AM

Very nice! Many congrats, worth the indigestion you'll get from Burger King!!

esm · 18 January 2013, 06:55 AM

oh okay - as long as you are pleased with the result.

the box looks abit too dirty for a 2 months unworn piece though. maybe it just the camera lighting.

Just looks like lint.

I had to laugh, there I was sitting in Burger King feeding my face and holding a loupe up to my eye with one hand and a burger in the other one and the watch on my wrist so I didnt get it greasy and a big silly grin on my face. And you lot wanted me to set up a a photographic studio there and then. They were already giving me strange looks cos i was the only one in there.

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:02 AM

The outer sleeve is not perfect by any means but the box is good, got the original receipt from Ernest Jones and all the rest of the bits in the photo. Does the Rolex guarantee still stand when you buy second hand ?

yep, the remaining Rolex guarantee stands for the new owner here in the UK.

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:14 AM

that's even better, thanks

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:17 AM

The outer sleeve is quite dirty and the litte bit the watch sits on has a mark on it, should I try to clean them or will it just look worse

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:19 AM

The mark on the foam bit just rubbed off, so it's just the outer sleeve that's marked

navydoc · 18 January 2013, 07:25 AM

Congrats on the new friend!

This place is dangerous!!!

Enjoy your new companion.

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:39 AM

Very dangerous and very addictive, but very enjoyable too

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 07:54 AM

Thanks for all the comments from everyone

samuel019 · 18 January 2013, 07:58 AM

Fagin glad you found another Rolex to add to your collection and that this one went alot smoother. My Exp 214270 is my absolute favorite. Gets the most wrist time. Ive got some photos to. Ck mine out

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:05 AM

Thanks Samuel, thanks to the help and advise from the forum members it went really well this time and I'm so happy with it. They are lovely aren't they, yours look great, mine has a 3132 movement, are they all the same?

deanpeterson · 18 January 2013, 08:07 AM

Very Nice - way to hustle!

Hairdude1 · 18 January 2013, 08:09 AM

Congrats

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:13 AM

Just as a matter of interest are new Rolex the same price irrespective of the country they are bought in or are some places cheaper?

On the the 214270 they are all the same and the 214270 has a new caliber 3132 movement versus the caliber 3000 on the 114270. You will absolutely love it and out of my collection the Exp I is the most accurate and comfortable. Congrats again!!!

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:17 AM

It is much more comfortable than the GMTc , don't know if its because its lighter in general or just not so top heavy. I can't stop looking at it, I'm cracking up

joseluu · 18 January 2013, 08:18 AM

Congrats.

I see that since your GMT "brush with fear" you have grown extra-cautious, hahaha. This one looks even better.

samuel019 · 18 January 2013, 08:19 AM

Yeah Ive wondered the same thing. I mean dont get me wrong my Subs and both my Explorers are very comfortable but the 214270 takes first prize.

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:29 AM

Hi Joseluu, ye didn't want to go through that again. This one looks perfect to me, no marks or scratches etc it is dated 25 nov 12 and it shows. And boy did I have a good look at i before paying him, think he thought I was mad, maybe he's right !!

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:30 AM

New price in the UK was listed as £4300 anyone know how that compares elsewhere

Fagin · 18 January 2013, 08:34 AM

Samuel, is your other one a explorer 2 , sorry the model numbers don't mean much to me, but I'm learning slowly
