Hi Guys,
Long time reader, first time posting.
I am selling my rare Rolex Explorer One Ref 14270 "Blackout" to fund purchase of a "grail" watch. The watch is completely original, verified by Rolex last year as authentic and is still under Rolex service warranty. The watch is unpolished and i have declined any external replacements parts upon servicing (seen in service docs below).
The watch sits on the original oyster bracelet and will come with the following:
-Rolex Exp One "Blackout" Head
-Rolex Oyster Bracelet
-Original Exp Booklet
-Rolex Service Papers dated Nov 11, 2009 (still under warranty!)
-Rolex Service Documentation outlining what was done, and more importantly, what wasn't done
-Credit Card receipt from service
-Rolex polishing cloth
This watch was the inspiration for an article I wrote on WorldTempus.com that can seen here, and in fact is shown in that article (how's that for provenance? :)) : http://www.worldtempus.com/en/news/top-news/detail/article/1256631638-neo-vintage-watches-hard-to-fix-a-price/
I do love this watch and consider it one of the rarest sapphire Rolexes...the only reason I am selling it is to fund a true "grail" purchase. Believe me, don't want to sell it, but must :( The blackout is as special as it gets in the last 25 years for Rolex, and the potential upside on these examples is quite high, especially when you look at what the prices of Double Reds and Reds have done over the last few years - these are far more rare than both of those, simply not understood as well right now.
Looking for $6400 or best offer. Would consider less to an OTD member, because even though I'm not a regular contributor, I feel it is one of the most supportive and friendly forums around.
Most examples are priced around $8500 and mine is still under service warranty. Let me know if you have any questions at all!
Watch is located in NYC.
I am happy to send any further pictures you'd like, and for references, a few of the guys know me around here and i'm sure would be happy to tell you i'm a nice guy :)
Thanks to all,
Ben
