Subject: Surfing eBay tonight... by bogus on 2008/8/23 6:44:35 As some of you already know, I am the proud owner of a Rolex Explorer II, black face, 1996 vintage. I bought the watch, brand new, in December of 1996 for $2950. Yea, a shit load for a watch... oh, well. Gotta have fun, right? I have worn that piece just about every day since. I don't work on cars with it, but have accidently worn it to the local u-pick-it lot.  And yes, it's insured. Well, every couple of years I get the insurance upped because of the values floating around. It seems to be holding its value rather nicely. It does need serviced, tho, but that's more of preventitive thing. However, the retail of a new Explorer II is now $5750.00. Shit. My watch is an investment! For the most part, they are selling for anywhere between $2500 for a similar aged white face to $12k for a "rare" cream faced. The majority are in the $4k to $5k range. Damn. I think I will go lock it in my gun safe... naa... |
