What's it worth ? Rolex Yachtmaster - y serial

[Wish]

Evening Gents.

I have a 2003 Y serial full size mans Rolex Yachtmaster.
I've owned the watch from new and purchased from an authorised dealer in the UK.
The watch was serviced around 4 years ago by Rolex Service Centre Bexley.

I've just replaced it with a new Rolex and am in two minds about keeping it or selling it.
However I've got no real idea of its worth.

It's in good condition with a small mark around the 40 on the dial.

All boxes and paperwork.

What is it worth ?

Get some pictures up, that will help determine the value.

Will get some up tonight.

All the documents with my name on, including the rolex service documents.
Even got the original purchase invoice from when I purchased it from my local Rolex dealer in Canterbury.

[Quinny]

£3750...ish

[recordman]

May I ask what you replaced it with?

[Wish]

The new Rolex Yachtmaster 2 SS

What's it worth to who?

You, a dealer, a private buyer, eBay?

Quinny is near the mark. I'd give you 3500 for it right now!

I'm not a dealer. I was hoping for £4k
Thanks for your offer though

Wasn't suggesting you were a dealer, just what's it worth to a dealer; they'd likely offer you three..? An eBay auction might get you 3.5-4 etc.

I think 4k is a fair price for a Yachtie, but it is then one of many, many watches at 4k. Depends if you need money quickly, if not, hold out for what you want!

I agree with below. OP I have exactly the same watch as yours (same year), and I have often thought at moving it on, but in reality, I think in order for it to sell it would have to be around the £3500-£3750 mark. However I do believe the Y/master is gaining in popularity and combine this with the ever increasing new list price I don't think it will be long before they are going for nearer the £5k mark. So I'm holding onto mine.

Thanks guys. I didn't plan to sell it but I've not taken the new one off since I got it.

Thanks for the heads up yeti. I miss read your message about being in the trade. That's what happens when trying to read a forum on an iPhone.
