Rolex Explorer II Please take a look…

Hey guys,
Can get this older 2012 for a fairly good price. It’s has box and card. Thoughts on condition?





Thanks in advance
Steve

Looks good to me. Why is the toilet paper in pic 1?

Looks fine to me as well judging from pictures alone. I would need to lay hands on it to give a 100% opinion.

Watch looks good but what a neat ring! Is that a custom piece?

Is the bezel ok between 22 and 24? Might just be the light or a reflection but the bezel is the only tricky bit to sort on these if it’s damaged. Watch looks fine if that’s just a reflection and not a gouge.

Looks pretty good for a 13 year old watch. The bezel could do with a light radial brush if you're fussy.

A really mint almost new pre owned would run 12.-13K. Only you can decide if the savings warrants going with the watch in the pic. I love the watch and if the price is right , go for it !

Depends on price and whether or not you want one that’s polished like that and of course whether or not it has been serviced which it will likely need after 10+ years.

I am pretty hard on my watches, so I don't care if they're dinged up with patina when I get them. As long as they run right and the price is right, I'd be in.

I always look at the clasp--which looks like it is in great shape. Wonderful watch!
