Ladies models are not hard to find like mens. Bachendorf's at Addison Galleria had several about two months back and at Highland Park Village they had one maybe two or three weeks ago.

Appreciate it, nothing at all down here.

Did you try Broadway Watches? It is where I get my Rolex serviced, the owner is a Rolex certified master watchmaker. They had Rolex's in-stock when I was there last Fall. Not sure on their inventory currently, but it would be worth checking out.

I remember dochorton being a big rolex fan. I figured he would chime in but then I realized he hasnt been active in awhile. I always liked him-anybody know how hes doing?

Sure, whatever you say.

I'm looking for someone who is knowledge with Rolex watches. We are trying to determine the fair market value for a Rolex watch that belongs to MIL. My MIL has downsized and moved into a senior living community and as part of her move she is having an estate sale. Her father had a Rolex that she now has but no longer wants and her 3 daughters don't want it either. We know for a fact that it is a Rolex, it's been looked at a certified.

The jeweler that looked at gave my MIL an offer for the watch, but several of us feel that it was a really low ball offer. So, I'm looking for some help to determine the FMV for the watch. Please let me know if you can help or know of anyone that could help.

Thanks

Like someone had posted earlier, if you want to just get a fair price send pics to DavidSw. https://davidsw.com/sell-your-watch/


And yes, depending on reference you will lose a little value with no box or papers, typically $300-$500

Reflected in sales price as well-

Come on…some models are different manuf. dates and scratched,…worn etc. The above cannot be compared as equals.

Either way my whole point is box and papers bring little to no value, ESPECIALLY if you were to sell back to a Gray dealer.

Also chopped the boxes are not model anymore specific (hence no added value), The AD’s will just grab any box from the back when you make your purchase.

But then again I don’t buy fake Sea Dwellers.

Of course it can be used for reference when it is consistent across the board and the condition is listed the same. I used C&C for reference because I know that is where you bought yours from.
And b&p 100% add value back ESPECIALLY when selling to a grey dealer.

C&C is on point. But let’s just agree to disagree on the value added, especially on selling to gray, again unless under warranty then that’s a different ball game. It sure as heck not 10-20 % higher like a member said here.

Wish i could afford a Rolex

Hey, you guys belong in a Louis Vuitton store arguing about your purses....

Seriously, if you own a 15,000 dollar watch and are worried about a box that adds 500 dollars value to it, then I think you missed the boat. The value in owning a Rolex is in the brand recognition and the "I don't care how much it cost me", because it surely isn't in the actual value of the timepiece.

Nickel and diming (its 3% of the value folks) on a 15,000 piece of timekeeping. Talk about some rich stuff in this thread

For everyday or some what regular wearing of a Rolex, a quality fake makes perfect sense.

If only the ins company would pass along some of that profit...
