I bought a 114270 from a grey dealer, and am considering selling it to get a SubC.... is it worth less b/c I got it from a grey dealer?

Jase0851 · 4 January 2013, 07:13 AM

I wouldn't say it was worth any less than current market value

No

jolimont · 4 January 2013, 08:04 AM

its worth as much as someone is willing to pay for one

Monte Cristo · 4 January 2013, 08:23 AM

It's worth what its worth based on condition, age, box, papers, etc, IMO, not origin

petesjag · 4 January 2013, 08:37 AM

No, and sometimes the same grey dealer will buy it back from you. I have done this a few times and even made some profit..

nauticajoe · 4 January 2013, 08:43 AM

Or you can try selling it yourself here.

Good luck!

HL65 · 4 January 2013, 08:47 AM

No

As others have said, it doesn't matter where you buy it

I believe this is right. As the worth of any watch will be based on condition,age,etc.. The origin isn't totally hold any importance but some people would want to know where it came from. So,it's a NO.

floater156 · 4 January 2013, 08:54 AM

If you think it's worthless, I'll take it off your hands, but I'll charge you a fee for the hassle!

joe100 · 4 January 2013, 09:10 AM

I'd take a 114270 over a Sub any day, bit that's just me

This is true. So no, to your original question.

Stonedcl · 4 January 2013, 12:10 PM

if i was buying a pre-owned and one came from a ad and one from a gray i dont think i would care. I would pick the one that was newer and in better condition.

Mickey® · 4 January 2013, 12:23 PM

Unless being under Rolex warranty was still a possibility and one had papers and the other one had a nice Grey COA....

Watchdog · 4 January 2013, 12:40 PM

Depends on the source I would imagine

Watchdog · 4 January 2013, 12:45 PM

And mainly what came with the watch. . . Mainly original boxes and papers/card warranty because despite what some will tell you until they die, boxes and papers/card matter to many potential buyers:)

DJJon · 4 January 2013, 01:09 PM

Flipping your watch after short ownership is all about being happy with what you have, not about making a few coins. Win or lose a few bucks, don't fret about it.

Flipping is for the emotional value, not financial.

Good luck whatever you choose to do !
