Rolex Watch - advice required

JF123

I know from reading previous posts that a lot of you guys know your watches and I'm looking to see if anyone can offer me some advice about selling a Rolex.

I have a Rolex Daytona for sale and not sure that Ebay is my best option.

It is the new model, stainless steel with white dial in really good condition (full papers and still in warranty)

Look forward to hearing thoughts or suggestions.

Cheers

Take it to a reputable highstreet establishment with a suitable clientel and ask them to sell it for you on commision. No fuss, no freudulent claims of it being a fake after sending it (this is huge now on ebay - people buy the watch, send the money, complain to ebay/paypal and show a fake that they say you sent them. Ebay/paypal cancel the transaction, and you've gained a fake and lost an original). I own a submariner, and would never have bought it over the internet.

I like the idea of taking it in to somewhere reputable - unfortunately, the place I should take it too is the place that I bought it and they did me a huge favour in allowing me to jump the waiting list to get it in the first place!!!

I take on board what you're saying about Ebay - I hadn't heard about the scenario that you describe but knew that I didn't want to go down that route hence why I thought people here may have some experience of selling and buying.

I recently upgraded my submariner to a sea dweller & the jewellers I mentioned above didn't make a great offer as part of the upgrade - they suggested Ebay would get me a better price but fortunately I was able to find a friend of a friend and sold it privately.
