    Hi guys,
    Where would be the best place to sell my Rolex Datejust? I have a 16220 in great condition and its a full set but need the funds quite quickly so happy to not get top price. There seems to be a multitude of places online but not sure who is reputable. I’ve had it on ebay but all i get are people trying their luck with ridiculous offers. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

    I would try The Rolex Forum. I'm pretty sure you have to be a pledge member to sell a watch, but it's not that much...$25 I think.

    I’m in the same boat as the OP (selling 16710), and I’m probably going to do as blufinz52 suggests.

    I would try to sell on VRM too. There's a good crowd of people buying and selling rolex related stuff, mostly vintage though.

    TRF/VRM, OF to some extent. Any of those 3 will get you listed on Watch Recon too. :thumbsup:

    Trev is right. Sometimes, its the timing too. Try local gumtree if its applicable. Full sets should be more assuring to potential buyers.

    Read title... not bad just more exposure to people hunting Rolex.

    It's all about the price.
    Doesn't matter where you list but your listed price.
    Those that sit around for a while....well, it's because the price is not right..
    Compare your asking price with sold listing on Ebay and these forums, that should give you an idea.
    Good luck!

    Sometimes on catwiki you can get good results.

    I’ve found Rolex to be by far the easiest and fastest brand to sell, regardless of where it’s posted if priced well.

    Despite loving them, I’ve found the opposite to be true for JLC. Very, very hard to move JLC.
