Inherited Rolex
A just lately deceased relative left me their Rolex. I wish to hold it however wish to have it appraised. Can a good jeweler/watch supplier do that or is there someplace particular I must take it? I don’t reside in a metropolis that has somebody who sells Rolex’s. It’s a “classic” Rolex if that makes a distinction.

A pal simply had the identical expertise and obtained a really excessive appraisal adopted by a loopy city restore estimate. This was for a excessive finish 1920’s mannequin. Shops sellers and many others are one place however I’d go to a Rolex collectors discussion board with some good pics and ask them. In the end the 30k restore price was an excessive amount of for him and I urged promoting as is to a collector / Hobbyist.

Re: Inherited Rolex
I simply put in “Rolex 16710” (my watch) and rapidly noticed what current public sale costs have been. Costs are down fairly a bit from two years in the past for anybody who’s curious.
Additionally there are far more pretend Rolexes that actual ones. I’ve a relative that requested me for assist similar to you’re searching for and all 3 have been pretend. One was a superb pretend, however nonetheless pretend. You positively don’t wish to see a second hand that’s ticking. lol

Re: Inherited Rolex
You’ll possible wish to insure the watch which would require an actual appraisal, not your personal novice web analysis. Any licensed Rolex retailer can and can do that for well-known and comparatively current Rolexes. In the event that they know it is for insurance coverage functions they’re more likely to appraise on the excessive finish of the vary of potential values, which is what you need. If it is a actually uncommon or tremendous excessive worth piece (say >$50k) I’d take into account going to a significant public sale home or classic supplier for an appraisal, which is likely to be extra correct than a standard retailer who possible not often offers in such items.

Re: Inherited Rolex
I have been just lately inquisitive about simply the way in which sellers work with these watches. Simple sufficient with the web lately. I do not faux to know something about current values. From what I’ve seen, although, fashions go out and in of favor and may accomplish that in a short time. Even model new watches will go above listing value model new. 2 years later, they are often price 1/2 listing value. Variety of hyperlinks within the bracelet is necessary and if yours is lacking any, the worth goes down. The whole lot being authentic brings the very best worth. As talked about already, having papers and the field is price vital cash. The watch alone is known as “bare” and brings much less. Situation is necessary as is any try and over-polish the watch. Watches have been identified to have an actual case and faux motion. Fakes have been round for a very long time. I purchased one in Hong Kong about 30 years in the past and was capable of solely discover one factor totally different from actual apart from the bracelet whose gold flaked off after a month.
