| I have owned a previous Rolex (smaller model) and have enjoyed the dual time function on this model. Super quality and dependability. Love the watch! |
If this watch could cook, I'd marry it!

I bought my Rolex Explorer 11 on eBay for $3,000. I like eBay because I can communicate directly with the seller, by email or telephone if I choose. The watch here on Amazon looks good but the price is a bit high compared with other used watches of this type. I would not pay more than $3,500. What year is it? When was it last serviced? Would the seller accept a lower selling price? I would need to know all this before I would buy. Before I bought mine on eBay I looked at several Ex 2's and found a seller that had a very good reputation and we exchanged emails for weeks until I decided to buy from him.
I like the overall look of this watch and the fourth hand for a different time zone is very nice even if you don't travel. This model also comes with a black dial (face) with white hands which is easier to read in dim light and the case measures 39mm not 40mm. The movement is a beauty, a work of art. The movement is the heart and soul, the 'engine' of a watch. Rolex has the best! Whether an entry level Rolex like the Air King or the most expensive Daytona, both movements are of equal quality. On the balance wheel on the balance complete of the movement are 4 little adjusting screws. This is how a competent watch technician would adjust it if the watch runs fast or slow. My watch ran 5 seconds fast a day. A couple of weeks after I bought it I took it to a watch repair shop that I trust - does not need to be a certified Rolex center - and had it adjusted. Now, it runs + or - 1 second a week, too close to call, but I'll update this review later. Some people say that their automatic watch runs fast or slow depending on how they wear it. Well, this Rolex is very stable. By stable I mean if a watch gains 1 second a day or looses 1 second a day, it will keep the same time no matter how it is worn. It will be consistent.
It is rather daunting knowing that this Rolex will most likely live longer than me.
I have purchased many things on both Amazon AND eBay including watches (cheaper ones) and never had a bad transaction. I can't say anything negative about this watch or Amazon. |

I love this watch, but...

| I really love this watch, but I hate the fact this baby retails for $4.450 and can be had for $4.075. A preowned one may cost you around $3.000. Some jewelers tell you that if you invest in this watch, you may get your money back withing 10 years. That never happened to me. If you think about it, it's like buying bonds from corporations and not receiving interest in return, just your money back! Are watch aficionados subsidizing Rolex? Is the cost of wearing a brand, tradition, and history on your wrist really worth that much? I can get an Omega Seamaster 300M GMT with automatic movement Cal. 1128 and COSC Chronometer Certification for $1.630. I would be buying into prestige, tradition, and history for 1/3 of the price. Is the Explorer II water resistant to 300M? I think not. So what's all the fuss? Yes, the Explorer II is a beater and a dressy watch at the same time with an outstanding craftsmanship. I would give it a 5-star rating if ever sold for $1.000. |
