Sell Your Explorer Watch at ALLU Today!

Rolex Explorer

Smaller than other sports models from Rolex, the Explorer is popular in Japan for its simple face that suits both business and casual settings. It has recently been gaining recognition overseas as well. The Explorer I 124270, in particular, is equipped with the latest movement while maintaining a simple exterior. The power reserve and practicality of the watch have also been improved, resulting in soaring purchase prices. Older models such as the 214270 and 216570 are also seeing an accelerated rise in market prices as the number of used watches in circulation declines. Trust our expert value designers, who are equipped with extensive experience in appraisals, to offer the best prices for your valuable and precious Explorer.

PLEASE NOTE: Once a price is agreed between parties, for the final authentication check of Rolex watches, especially more recent models, we may be required to open the case. If the watch is deemed not to be genuine, the item will be returned without the sale proceeding.

The Rolex Explorer was developed for professionals who climb mountains, fly, and explore the deep sea for a living. Its inception was inspired by the first mountain climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. In May 1953, mountain climbers Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay successfully made the first-ever 8,848-metre ascent up Everest. During their climb, the men wore Rolex’s Oyster Perpetual. In celebration of their achievement, Rolex released Explorer in the same year, a brand new model designed for professional explorers and adventurers.

The Explorer quickly established itself as the watch for adventurers, securing its place as yet another iconic symbol of Rolex’s reliability. Explorer’s universal success was born from the multitude of experiences of numerous explorers. Since the 1930s, Rolex has been working with Himalayan explorers, using their feedback to provide them with watches able to withstand the harshest environments, ultimately developing the world’s strongest land-use watch. Explorer’s sophisticated functionality and unparalleled robustness were born, forged and polished by decades of experience of those who had ventured into and overcome Earth’s most unforgiving landscape. True to its name, the versatile Explorer keeps accurate time, never faltering even 8,848 metres above sea level at temperatures of minus 25 degrees. The Explorer and the evolved Explorer II have maintained unwavering popularity throughout the brand’s history.

How to Get the Highest Selling Price for Your Watches!

  • 1 Remember the original box and other accessories! Image of Box and Accessories

    Warranty card, box, bracelet adjustment frame, and more: the more complete the accessories, the higher the purchase price. The purchase price may vary significantly depending on the model and serial number. In addition, novelties (items not for sale) included when purchasing a watch may also have a surprisingly high value. Even if you do not intend to sell them, bring them in with your other items, and we can appraise them.

  • 2 Cleaning can increase the appraisal value! Image of Watch Overhaul and Maintenance

    We recommend that you clean your watch on a regular basis, as a cleaner condition will result in a higher appraisal value. Simply wiping sweat or grease from the watch with a soft cloth can prevent the formation of rust. In addition, if you have the overhaul statement or other documentation, bringing them together may increase the appraisal value.

  • 3 Sell unused watches as soon as possible! Image of Unusued and Old Watch

    Generally, as items age, the selling price drops little by little. If you are not using the item in question, it is better to sell it before the selling price drops significantly.

FAQ: Selling Rolex Explorer Watches

What are the most valuable Explorer I models?

The Explorer is generally very popular, but the 14270—Blackout—is particularly rare and can often be sold at a much higher price than the regular type.

Is the Explorer II more valuable in black or white?

For a same-year 216570 model, the white dial version is more popular and tends to be more valuable than its black dial counterpart.

How much can I expect to get for my Explorer?

The market value of the Explorer is relatively stable. If the model is discontinued or has low distribution, we may be able to offer a high value. Please consult us directly for details.

Are there any particularly rare Explorer models?

One of the rarest and most valuable Explorers is the Blackout mentioned above, which can be found only among the early editions of Ref. 14270 (E and X), manufactured between 1990 and 2001. Normally, the index 369 is white, but the Blackout offers two types of colouring, metal and black, and it is recognised as one of the rarest models among Rolex watches. The Blackout also exists in the successor model, the 2009 Ref. 114270, but only in V and with limited production, making it an extremely rare model. Your Rolex may be a rare and valuable Explorer. To know if your Rolex is a rare Explorer model, please feel free to contact us for more information.

Can I get a higher price after having my Rolex serviced or repaired?

At ALLU, we have watch technicians on staff so that our customers can avoid the hassle of getting their watches looked at before selling them. Feel free to bring your watch in as is, and even if it is broken or damaged, we are confident that we will be able to purchase it at a price higher than other stores.

How can I get the most for my watch?

In order to maximise the value of your Explorer, it is important to have all the accessories and to keep the watch in good condition. At ALLU, however, we have sales channels worldwide and a high-paced changing inventory. So, we actively purchase even items without accessories or not in perfect condition at prices higher than other stores!

Do trends affect the selling price?

The market price may fluctuate depending on the timing of new releases or if a celebrity has worn one recently.

Do you buy older Explorer models as well?

Certainly, discontinued models have a low circulation and can fetch a high price, so we encourage you to contact us if you are in possession of one.

Can I sell just the Explorer without accessories?

The main body of the watch alone is valuable enough, so we also purchase Explorer watches without accessories. *Please note that we may need to keep your item for a period of time to evaluate it.

Do you also buy broken Explorer models?

ALLU has an in-house watch repair workshop, so we are able to evaluate your watch regardless of its condition. Even if other stores refuse to evaluate your watch, please bring it to us!

Do you also buy Explorer watches without all the parts?

We will be able to provide you with a price, as there is demand for parts only. However, in the case of parts-only transactions, it is difficult to offer a pre-assessment, so the evaluation will have to be performed in-store or through our home or delivery service.

How does the Explorer selling process work?

ALLU offers in-store, home, and delivery services. Most customers say that in-store evaluation makes it easier to ask questions and feel at ease about the transaction. Please let us know which method would suit your preferences.

ALLU Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell a watch that is broken or in poor condition?

Yes, you can. Since we can repair watches in-house, you can sell watches in all conditions.

For example:

Watches that have stopped working
Watches that need an overhaul
Watches with a dead battery
Watches that are rusty, scratched, or dirty.
Watches with a broken belt or glass.

If you ever were refused by other stores when trying to sell your item for reasons such as the above, please visit us at ALLU.

Do watches with accessories and warranties sell for more?

Yes. If you still have the box, warranty, and extra links left over from the belt adjustment, you are more likely to be offered a higher price for your watch. If the watch is in good condition, you can still sell your watch for high prices even if the above items are not included.

Can I sell a watch body without a belt or bracelet?

Yes, in most cases, we can make you an offer. We may find some watches difficult to buy, such as those with integrated belts or bracelets.

I received a higher selling price at another store.

We will do our best to meet your expectations, so please let us know how much the other company’s evaluation was.

Do selling prices vary from store to store?

No. All of our stores use the same standards for evaluation.

Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes. We ask that customers make an appointment via WhatsApp first so we can make sure that the appraisal can go smoothly.

How long does it take for an appraisal at the store?

We estimate 10 to 15 minutes for a single item. It depends on the item and the quantity, so please ask our staff when you visit.
