Needs must with buying a house and paying for a wedding I am looking to sell my beloved 2008 Rolex Daytona SS Black face.

Comes with all orginal boxes, receipts, warranty card, booklet, cloth and spare link - as new condition.

Watch was serviced by rolex with receipt £1060.80 from Rolex Bond Street dated 250813 - every recommendation by Rolex was taken - watch not worn so is immaculate. Also comes with a 2 year Rolex warranty.

Can anyone recommend the best place to sell or PM me if interested yourself?

I think the best place to sell it is in the classifieds!

Have been offered £6,700 by a trader - is this good? What do you think I should look to sell it for privately?

If by a fair price you mean approx 60-70% of its value then I'd agree. Maybe you've had a different selling experience though?

I achieved 50% more on Ebay than through offers from watch dealers on a Breitling I recently sold. Having said that, Blowers offered considerably more than Hackett Watches.

Not an attack on Dom at all by the way, I know how revered he is on here. Just putting a slightly different view across.

Certainly not a dig at Dom but I've always wondered about all the folk giving him a good recommendation , how many have actually dealt with him ?

I've always had this feeling that some join in with the crowd.

Might just be me mind...

...and Blowers did with me too, until I tried to confirm the deal...then the backtracking, excuses and price dropping began. Dom H stuck by his word.

If you're not having a dig at him, certainly comes across like you are.

I have dealt with him. He's scrupulously honest, really knows his stuff and is a great asset to this forum and his trade.

So he didn't offer the best price on a Breitling he didn't want to stock? So what??

Anyone would be foolish not to make at least a couple of phone calls. Hackett, Blowers and watches.co.uk would be where I'd call.

Dom has sourced 2 brand new JLCs for me, and as and when I'm looking for something else, would not hesitate to speak to him again.

Just had a very fast reply from Dom saying thanks for offering him the watch, but it isn't of interest to him at this time. He came across very professionally in the mail.

Anyone dealt with Armour Winston ltd? Thx B

Why did a five-year-old watch need a grand's worth of work?

For my part I was purely countering RSoov's definitive post and was absolutely not questioning Dom's integrity - merely pointing out the significant margin you can lose by not selling yourself.

Fair enough - and I will wind my neck in, with apologies smile
