Hi all

This is my explorer 2 im debating on whether to sell it to fund a submariner i've been offered

Its never bothered me

Would you guys be put off with this its not noticeable from the side, just from the underside

The guy who I got it off originally caught it falling over

do you think £2800 would be a fair price?

 

not really, consider the flaws to be just some battle scars on a very robust tool watch... I do enjoy mine a lot

 

definitely, i wouldnt even consider making an offer on this

 

Well, it wouldn’t bother me (watches are meant to be worn and I’d call that character) and that’s a fair price and one I’d buy at... so second dibs if watxh3s doesn’t want it..:

 

Forgot to mention it was serviced 2 months ago

 

It bothers me even less now

 

Wouldn’t bother me so long as I knew about it before I bought it. It would make me more likely to wear it too. A great beater.

 

Battle scar that's worth easy a extra £100 more.

 

Scars are not a big factor as long as the pricing is adjusted appropriately.

 

I could care les about a few scratches.

..no, wait, I couldn't care less...

Er..

Yeah, wouldn't bother me.

 

And they are in the back no less...looks alright

 

I'm wearing the same watch right now and, although mine doesn't have a mark anywhere, I paid substantially more than £2800 (does have box and papers too).

 

mabye im too cheap then its got box and 3 service receipts starting from 2003

 

Wouldn't bother me and wear it like a tool watch it is meant to be. And add a few scratches of your own.

 

I wouldn't pay a whole lot for because with the damage, I would only consider it for a "daily beater"

 

Would all be a matter of price... if for the same money another one is on out there without the scars,...i would not mind scars on my watch if they have a cool atory behind it.

 

Well how much did you end up selling it for? I think it looks pretty good from the front, wouldn't bother me much since it would be for everyday wear.

 

Sold to a member £2800

 

Nice got what you thought was a fair price. The front looks flawless so why not.

 

@bags1971
I'm sure the buyer was happy to take it off your hands for $3795 USD. I suspect too, that the buyer felt the damage was hardly significant owing to its location on the underside of the case. It's sounds like both buyer and seller "win" in this transaction...they should all end that manner!
Which Submariner reference are you looking to acquire now?
