··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Value is jewel based not watch based. No way to tell unless you find something identical at auction.

··Oooo subtitles!Don’t think the aftermarket diamonds add value. Quite the opposite really. There might be $200-300 worth of stones there but that value and more is knocked off the watch.

This watch is not a collector's item, and it will certainly be worth more to the general public in its current state than it was in its factory state.

··Oooo subtitles!Then selling it in LA sounds like the best plan. I can tell you from my jewellery trade experience that elsewhere people are rather more discerning. Once you modify a Rolex you are subtracting not adding value. The only exception maybe would be with the likes of Bamford creations but even those are tricky to resell. These middle eastern modded watches are elsewhere usually put back to std before resale at considerable expense.

·It’s a certain type of buyer that buys those horrible franken’d diamond DJ’s. If they come to sell they’re going to find the spread on them is huge and they’ll lose a lot compared to a standard DJ.
I agree it’s a hard sell as a private seller.

·Gold ladies DJ with aftermarket diamond dial and bezel. Well worn condition.
People do buy and sell watches like this one. But the people on this forum … not so much. I’d suggest starting with a pawn shop.
