| Buddies relative is moving into assisted living and the family is selling off his Rolex collection . They are asking below market value for the watches . All are complete sets with box, paperwork and hang tags . He has a Sea Dweller 16600 that I was thinking about picking up. But I don't want it , would rather have an Explorer 2 16570 Polar . What's the chance of a straight trade to someone like David SW , Bob's or Takuya ? |

Same as a used car deal. They will pay you less than yours is worth and still ask a premium for theirs. It wont be the huge trade difference, but there will be one. Depending on the condition of the Sea Dweller and the Explorer 2, you should do good on the trade. I would try DavidSW, Bob's, Watchfinder and smaller stores like Watchyourwrist. I agree with the post above. Below market, buy as many as you can afford. |
| 16600 SD is an incredible watch. Below market value? I'd buy that without thinking. |
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand, Paul Bhranfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933, Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics...
