I want to sell my Rolex: Where do I start? Anyone I can talk to?

[HumbleEinstein]

I have a Rolex from 1980 (I believe) that I want to sell. I don't know too much about it, but of course, I want to get a fair price for it. Does anyone know someone in the area I can talk to that is trustworthy on this issue?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

rolexforums.com is an incredible source of info if you can stand the Cork-sniffing-WIS's

There used to be a guy on conneticut ave, a block or 2 down from the hinkley hilton. I stopped in there once a few years ago looking for a vintage one for my father. Not looked to see if he is still there. Good luck.

My co-worker is a Rolex owner that has lived in Kensington his whole life, he knows the good shops in the area, I'll post up when i get a chance to talk to him later

Try the rolex forums, going to a rolex store, or head to a tourneau store (http://www.tourneau.com/) and have them appraise it and then look into pricing it for sale. I recommend you get it serviced too (goes for about $500 now at the rolex store in NYC).

Agreed, this will significantly increase the value of the watch

There is also a very well known guy (in TX i think??) that does excellent work, i will get this info also

I was just quoted $600 to get my Submariner serviced. The guy said it would come back looking brand new. It is probably well worth it. It is likely you will get AT LEAST that much more out of it, and you can advertise it as "just serviced by the factory".

Didn't you recenlty get a Porsche? Henceforth, you will also be known as Doctor Conspicuous Consumption.

And I'm not talkin' T. B.

I did. If it makes you feel better, I only wear my Rolex when I drive my BMW. I never wear it when I drive my Porsche because I don't want to be too pretentious.

If you're interested in getting your Rolex serviced, there's a guy in Annapolis that does quality work. He's a factory trained/certified in Rolex repair. He'd also be a good person to ask for an appraisal. Here's the URL for his shop:

I have a 50 year old Oyster that was valued at 3k about 10 years ago. I was not involved In the appraisal.

Go to a Rolex dealer and ask them to appraise the watch.

I just had the battery changed in my Gucci. 6 bucks at Michaels in the old GB Mall.

Set a price and list it in the classifieds.

 

[Slowhand]

I'll bid $100 and two boxes of 5.56...
