Tell Me how did I do? Explorer II 40mm
Explorer II 40mm, year 2000. I would put condition at 99.8 percent myself and Jeweler agreed it showed zero signs of wear. I got the box, but no papers, final price after all negotiations was just shy of $4,000 before tax. Closer to 4,300 including tax which is a high rate here in AZ.
Apologize in advance that my camera is not so good. |

Thanks all for the kind replies, I got them down as low as I could, after transaction was over the owner who I knew leveled with me that I was within $200 of the price he sells it to his "rolex dealer" who needs to make 10%. So I knew I got to my striking zone and was confident after the buy. I am known to bust balls, I have bought new cars and had it so close to their price they have to come out and ask politely for them to please get a couple few hundred commission then deal...I am pretty good negotiator and definately have no problem walking away, especially in this economy, you get the point.

If so confident: why ask how you did?

Because I am insecure? No, JK, its because I want to know just how well I did, I mean I know prices I know Rolexes' I get on my smart phone and go to work before i make final offer.....yet still, I yearn confirmation, and what better place to prove that I owned it pretty well than a forum like this, full of people who know. Didn't meen too rub off as cocky in terms of my negotiation skills, but this is my first Rolex, I bought it two days ago, I still feel the need for confirmation I guess. ;)
but good question super dog and I hope you can understand my neuroticism may play some factor, when I spend money I tend to be neurotic about getting the best deal, or else I rather sit on my cash... |

that last one is of me driving my favorite beater truck, the lexus would have been more fitting, 350is, but allas I think the rolex makes everything look more classy
p.s. pics came out better this time! no more pics unless full sunlight until i get a decent camera...... And sorry don't mean to offend anyone, but I am a pretty big dude some want it bigger? To each his own though heck I bought a super avenger at one point so I am not one to judge, or shouldn't judge... |
