Yep... That's one old Rolex, not that there's anything wrong with that. But the pics you posted show a watch in clear distress.. The Oyster band is showing signs of ware and tbh.. Its got an ugly face!

I'll pass but good luck with the sale.

If the price was right would you buy it? Let's say 4.25btc

I really need btc and the local watch shop offered me 1200$ CAD for it

(I'm hoping someone in the us buys it for btc because btc to cad is 300$ right now while its around 240 for USD)

If i sell the watch to him and then buy btc, I'm gonna end up with around 1100 or less because of the stupid fees btc sellers take

Not really man. I like watches and I love rolies but yours is in bad shape. The offer you got for $1200 is a fair one and if I were you I'd take it. Someone sent me a pm yesterday regarding your watch for sale and asked in my opinion what it was worth.

My reply was "Without any papers or proof that the watch is even legit I'd stay away personally. The watch itself in it's condition assuming its real is worth about $1500- $2500
The band has stretch, just to fix that you'll need to purchase a new band ($500-$900). The watch is old, You're supposed to service a Rolex every 5 years to make sure the seals are good and don't dry out. Servicing the watch alone will cost at least $500. Then you need to take into account the fact that the seller said the crown is busted and it wont set the time or date properly. This could be a $20 pin or a $1000 movement. Your guess is as good as mine."

So its worth $1500-$2500 on the top end if you find a naive buyer.. like I said.. Take the $1200 and run!! At $1200 there's enough on the bone for your local watch shop to fix it up and flip it for 3-4K.

Good luck man.

The one posted on the website on my first post is a secondhand in slight better shape than mine, I still feel like the 1200 is a rip off

I'll dig out the certificate and try ebay, the jewellers I've been to know how to spot fakes and I know mines 100% rolex

This forum was still worth a try, maybe when the btc price hits 100k people on here might possibly consider a rolex :p but thanks guys, always gonna love this community

Just because you "feel" something to be a rip off does not make it so. A Rolex is no different from a Honda or a home when it comes to pricing... These things have a market value and you cant fight that. Dont be mad at the business owner who offered you fair money, who then needs to put more money into the watch to be able to sell it. You're Rolex is Old, beat up and BROKEN.. you think its worth a million?

And the btc price has nothing to do with people not wanting to buy your watch. Its your watch that has prospective buyers at bay.
