Genuine Yachtmaster, Black MOP 18k

[the_man]

1st off, it's been a while since I've posted on here, but it's good to be back. The are so many knowledgeable people on here. I hope this site never goes away.

This is a genuine Rolex yachtmaster I purchased in 2006. Its two tone ss w/ 18k gold, a rare black mother of pearl face and has only been worn 1 time. It's been sitting in a lock box for two years and I never wear the thing. I'm more comfortable wearing my reps that the real thing, I guess. I paid $11k for it. A consignment watch dealer online said he'd give me $10k for it, but that was sight unseen and its was a "cash 4 gold" kind of thing. You know, where he sends me a "secured" envelop and I'm supposed to send him the watch. Yeah right. .. Anyways you guys think anyone on here would buy it, or any ideas what its worth?

I've no idea as to the value of the watch, but, given the dial is rare, I'd suggest only taking it to someone who deals primarily with Rolexes, so you get the best possible price for it Best of luck with any sales

They go for between $7k and $9k at the very most pre-owned on ebay. Take it to an estate buyer and maybe get $4k to $5k for it. I would buy it for $3,500 if you need cash fast................But only if you upgrade your membership.

Or I can send you an envelope so you can send it to me..

Sounds like it's basically in mint condition, but I think you'd be lucky to get $7K for it in this market. You might try a few dealers and see what they say. Like Jfreeman says, watch ebay and see what's happening there- it's basically a wholesale market, but it will give you a good idea of the value of the watch in this economy.
