Thinking of flipping my Rolex 16618

[Cooky]

Hi, as per the title it maybe time to flipp my 16618, have been itching for a blancpain fifty fathoms (for best) and/or a 166610 Deepsea SD (daily beater) and can't justify keeping the 16618 too.

Would i be better to sell the 16618 privately or try a part ex/cashback deal with a dealer against the Blancpain or the SD.

Also can anyone advise where to find a nice Blancpain

Thanks

Just looked Blowers in Hull have a couple and they do reasonable deals to change.

You're always going to be better off selling it privately than p/xing it. Dealers have to make a profit to live and they are not going to give you its retail value or anything like it.

I agree with the above post - an ad. here or in TZ-UK (if you've been a member for a while) or TURF should move it.

Failing which you could try

www.gentlemanwatchcollector.co.uk

I've sold a couple of mine to the site owner who pays a very fair price

Good Luck!

How did you get on with the part ex ? I am looking for a gold Rolex Submariner (16618) if you still want to move it on or if anyone else has a used one

As am I, let me know.


Thanks

Have you tried;

http://www.gentlemanwatchcollector.co.uk/

his surname name is Gill and he's based in London, goes by the username Ggill on Tz.

He lurks around on Pistonheads and subtley directs people to his website.

Hang on. Look above this post

Anything wrong with this? I have the same username on both fora, not hiding anything and there are plenty of Pistonheads/TZ users who will vouch for me being a good person to deal with in their experience. These days price transparency is very evident, sellers send details of what they have for sale to many people and procure all the prices. I think this works in their favour and achieves the best price for the seller which is great.
