I am considering a used Rolex from a gentleman and he asked me to make him an offer. The watch is a current year model, AD purchased, has been worn with some light scratches on the buckle typical of light wear.

I thought an offer of 65% of retail is a fair starting point, or am I way off?

I think it depends on what model.

If it's a DD you're paying too much and if it's a Daytona too little.

What model is it????????????????????

MarJnK · 15 September 2009, 07:47 AM

GV Milgauss.

Good deal! I doubt you will get it that cheap.

They are worth at least 5K Id say from what I have seen.

I want a GV!!!!

Yes thats a fair offer.

Good luck.

You can make any offer you want.......

If he knows what he has though, it doesn't mean the offer will be accepted......

You need to know what the most that you want to pay for the watch is...

5k would be a fair offer.
Depends on condition of course

greekbum · 15 September 2009, 11:55 AM

Look at it this way if he doesnt accept you can find 1 for around the same price give or take $200

You're right about market price for a less than BNIB model. Could have sworn I've seen one in mint condition for $500 more.
