Why Choose Us to Sell Rolex Explorer II Watches

A lot of our clients are caught off-guard by our levels of service, which is important when parting with a high-value item. We get so many positive reviews, see what one person has to say below:

“I sold my Rolex White Gold Daytona to Daniel. Best price, came to my house to collect, no fuss even though the watch had some scratches (didn’t reduce his offer price) immediate payment. Overall extremely fair and professional. Highly recommend him.”

– Steve Currie

How Much Will I Get for My Rolex Explorer II?

It is difficult to say precisely how much you will get before you complete your valuation with us. However, we may be able to provide an estimate once you book your appraisal and give us a few key details about the watch.

The value of the Rolex Explorer II, and other watches, will typically depend on the following criteria:

Watch features: There are Explorer IIs with white dials, black dials and variations on the bracelet, such as the Oyster bracelet or a rubber strap. The precise features of your watch will be key to the value, as collectors prize certain characteristics over others.

Make and model: The particular model and mechanism of your watch influences the price. Movements like the Explorer II 16570, which has a polar dial or a black dial, use a 3185 or 3186 calibre that is known for its quality – they are often more valuable because of it.

Condition: Although small scratches are not usually an issue, more extensive damage on older watches might make the amount we can offer a bit lower. However, you should not worry about the condition much as we are still likely to buy it from you.
