What do you make of this statement?

A few days ago I packed up my Explorer I and went down to a jeweler that buys, sells, and trades Rolex watches.

Not really sure that I even wanted to sell as I knew that I would never get the best possible price for the watch but I thought that I might be inclined to sell or trade if we could work out a deal that I could live with. I figured that the loss if not substantial it could balance itself against trying to sell it online and dealing people (not my strong suit).

After a few questions from the salesman he saw that I was not desperate. It was not a matter of needing the cash now so he says:

“These are very hard to sell without a date, in fact, I would pass on this anyway I can’t sell it.”

I was stunned and not looking for an argument I just thanked him and left. Seriously, its an Explorer I considered by many to be a timeless classic. I am not calling him a liar perhaps he is correct but somehow I am doubtful that it would be a dust collector for his case.

Anyway, I am over it now I'm keeping my baby in fact I wore it to work today!
