Might have found my Exp 42mm, fair price?

Hey guys, some of you may know ive been after an Explorer II 42mm 216570 for a few weeks now. A chance has come up to buy one here in Spain, what do you think:

18 months old (6 months warranty) full set; all docs, books, tags, inner/outer boxes, warranty card, etc.

Seller will accept about $5750, what do you think, pull the trigger?

Seems pretty fair to me, most Ive seen are $6500+ region...?

Opinions welcome!

Sounds very reasonable and it looks good IMO. Go for it! Of course, I am a bit biased, I own the same model :-)

Seems very good to me based on the prices I've seen. I'd jump all over that if I was in the market for one.

Wow, didnt think the price was that spectacular myself, but from what you guys are saying I should probably jump on it ASAP!

Seems fair. I did pay like $7100 new if that offers any point of reference. I purchased my Exp II in the fall of 12'

wow, am i right in thinking that is 3800 pounds sterling, or about the same in euros? Sounds really good as long as all ok. If in great condition, sounds brilliant.

That's a great price if the watch is legit. Go for it. You may even make a few bucks if you flip it in a few years.

Very good price but it should make you be very careful. As others have said "buy the seller". In this case I would add "trust but verify".

The only down side Ive found so far is that its had 2 owners before this guy, so 3 in total! Bit weird, would it concern you guys? Ive spoken to the first owner now too, he told me he flipped it as it was just too big. The next guy is also available for contact, so might drop him a msg too. All seems to check out though, all 3 guys have good feedback. Still go for it?

It's been said before, "Buy the seller, not the watch."

That's a good price, significantly cheaper than mine.

Low-mid 6 is a fair price, the price you said is a really good one. You should take it before someone else did. I like the white face. Good luck with your purchase. Show us the wrist shot.
