What do you guys think...?

I'm wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of market value on two watches...


I've got a 2001 Explorer II blackface, TRIPLE mint amazing condition with a full set (box/paper) and some time left on warranty from service.


or a 16660 SD in average/good condition no box/paper.


Reason is I've got a "69 5513 w/ 93150 band...all original except band. In fair condition, no box/paper. I've got a trade offer for the sea-dweller or the Exp II and wondering which would be the best route..

Thanks!

In terms of value, or your preference..? My preference is the SD, I have a big wrist and like a big watch.

I just mean it's near flawless. Don't think the guy wore it very much..Are you guys saying EXPII for value or preference?

Not certain on the value but I always buy what I like not based on value... For me it would be the SD but then I have never been an Explorer fan

That was my thought..I'm leaning towards the SD because its my fav watch, and I've never really liked the Explorer.


I was thinking to maybe trade for the explorer, sell it and buy the SD and make a bit of profit

I would go w/ the Explorer II on this one, it's in better condition and sounds like it comes complete
