Well a buddy and I took the trip into NYC today and spent a few hours at tourneau's. The place is amazing they have 4 floors of exquisite time pieces. I've now fallen in love with a panerai lol. Anyway they did have a small used section and they had a Rolex explorer II (circa 2000). So when i saw it stopped over and checked it out. The watch was in great shape with a price tag around $5500 ( it also didnt have the original box or papers). My question is was this a good price? I currently have a Date just II and was looking to add another watch to the collection. To me it seemed ok but just wondering what everyone else thought.

You can get an Exp II used in very good condition for 4300-4500.

I would say 5500 is too much IMO

drtooth73 · 4 November 2011, 08:37 AM

The price for the EXPII is not acceptable.
You can get a nice one from TRF for $4100 with boxes/papers.

Gharddog03 · 4 November 2011, 08:39 AM

To much.

pablofields · 4 November 2011, 08:40 AM

x4

For a 2000 model that is way high.

bayerische · 4 November 2011, 08:41 AM

Too much.

jabis96 · 4 November 2011, 08:44 AM

ok thats what a i thought. they also had a very nice SS daytona with a white dial for 14500

xjeeunitx · 4 November 2011, 08:56 AM

You can find a 2000 model for under $3500.

Check the FS section here, there are a few for $9000 with boxes/papers/
no tax, shipped to you overnight.

Tourneau are notorius for their high prices. Most places in New York City are not usually the best place to get a good deal either.

jabis96 · 4 November 2011, 09:09 AM

yea the prices are defiantly higher and i did not buy anything today because i wanted to come back on here and double check on the price......the daytona was stainless steel...I went to window shop today there was a lot of beautiful pieces there im in love with a bell and ross and a panerai im going to have to do some research. I am looking to add another rolex to my collection first.
While i did feel the prices were high i did find that for a new watch purchase they offered an 18 month payment period as well as 10% of the purchase price towards your watch.

azguy · 4 November 2011, 09:29 AM

Run, do not away

I just bought an A serial, Black Dial, Explorer II with all the boxes, papers, do-dads and manuals for $3,700. It also had been serviced in 2008 and I have that paperwork as well.

Condition, very,very good. It's a great watch for the money. Very stealthy, as I've worn it everyday for two weeks and not one comment on it

Put on my Sub or GMT and you hounded to death

Turd-NO! Always charges 1500 for a used SS Daytona they are completely insane but so are the idiots that walk in and gladly pay 15k for an SS Daytona and then act like they got a deal.

azguy · 4 November 2011, 11:28 AM

Hands down, if I was going to buy a Daytona, it would be here on TRF

superdog · 4 November 2011, 12:40 PM

both a rip off. buy it here. never go to tourneau

masterserg · 4 November 2011, 12:42 PM

I think a 2000 should go for around 3.5K to 4 depending on condition. 5.5 is insane.

z32turbo · 4 November 2011, 12:44 PM

I agree with everyone else. Both are priced way to high.

nch209 · 4 November 2011, 06:24 PM

Toooooo Much!!!! (That said, I am not surprised by the asking price!)

MoBe · 4 November 2011, 10:02 PM

I find hard to believe that anyone would want to pay NY prices for a watch that can be had from a grey dealer right here at a very good discount.

Timber Loftis · 5 November 2011, 12:18 AM

Yeah, what everyone else says. I'd value them at around $4000 with B&P.

Numismatist · 5 November 2011, 12:43 AM

$14000+ for used SS Daytona? Yikes. I don't think so. Maybe if it came from Paul Newmans personal collection

to Tourneau.

horseco · 5 November 2011, 12:56 AM

My experience with Tourneau has been VERY BAD!!!

Like To Watch · 5 November 2011, 01:19 AM

Over priced.

NYC6 · 5 November 2011, 01:27 AM

Say what you will about Tourneau but I got great service and a good deal on a new Submariner.

impalass · 5 November 2011, 01:39 AM

Thats even too much for a Canadian price.
