Sell My Rolex Explorer
The Rolex Explorer is one of the brand's most recognizable professional watches, known for its simple dial, highly legible design, and connection to mountaineering and exploration.
Watch Noble purchases current and discontinued Rolex Explorer watches, including the Explorer 36, Explorer 39, Explorer 40, and select vintage references.
Whether your Explorer has been worn regularly, stored as part of a collection, inherited, or purchased recently, we can evaluate the watch based on its exact reference, age, condition, originality, accessories, and current secondary-market demand.
Sell My Rolex Explorer II
The Rolex Explorer II is a distinctly different watch from the traditional Explorer and has developed its own following among Rolex collectors.
Introduced in 1971, the Explorer II incorporates a 24-hour display and fixed graduated bezel. Modern Explorer II watches continue this design with the additional 24-hour hand and the ability to display a second time zone.
Watch Noble purchases modern, discontinued, and vintage Explorer II watches, including white-dial Polar and black-dial versions.
Popular references we purchase include the 1655, 16550, 16570, 216570, and 226570.
Sell Rolex Explorer II Polar
White-dial Rolex Explorer II watches are commonly referred to by collectors as Polar Explorer II models.
Polar Explorer II watches have become one of the most recognizable configurations within the Explorer family, particularly references such as the 16570, 216570, and current 226570.
Condition, age, reference, bracelet condition, box and papers, and overall originality can all affect the value of a Polar Explorer II.
If you own a white-dial Rolex Explorer II and are considering selling it, send Watch Noble photographs and the reference number if known for a current evaluation.
How Much Is My Rolex Explorer Worth?
The value of a Rolex Explorer depends on the exact reference and several other factors.
Important considerations include:
Reference number
Production period
Overall condition
Dial and hands
Case condition
Bracelet condition
Service history
Originality
Original box and warranty card
Current secondary-market demand
A discontinued Explorer may trade differently from a current-production model, while certain vintage references can have additional collector value based on originality, condition, and rarity.
Watch Noble evaluates each Explorer individually using current market information.
How Much Is My Rolex Explorer II Worth?
Rolex Explorer II values can vary significantly between generations and configurations.
The reference number is particularly important.
For example, vintage Explorer II watches such as the reference 1655 appeal to a different collector market than later 16570, 216570, or 226570 watches.
Dial configuration can also matter. White Polar and black-dial Explorer II watches can experience different levels of secondary-market demand depending on the reference and current market.
We consider:
Exact Explorer II reference
White Polar or black dial
Age
Condition
Originality
Bracelet and number of links
Box and papers
Service history
Current market demand
Send us photographs of your Explorer II for a complimentary evaluation.
How to Sell Your Rolex Explorer
Selling your Explorer or Explorer II to Watch Noble is straightforward.
1. Send Us Your Watch Information
Provide the reference number if known, along with clear photographs of the watch.
Let us know whether you have the original Rolex box, warranty card or papers, booklets, tags, service records, and extra bracelet links.
2. Receive an Evaluation
We review your Explorer based on its reference, age, condition, originality, accessories, and current secondary-market demand.
There is no obligation to sell after receiving an evaluation.
3. Secure Shipping or Private Appointment
Watch Noble purchases watches from sellers throughout the United States.
Secure, fully insured shipping is available for qualifying remote transactions. In-person appointments may also be available by request.
4. Inspection and Payment
After receiving your Explorer, we inspect the watch to confirm its authenticity, reference, condition, and that it matches the information provided.
Once the final value is agreed upon and the transaction is completed, payment is issued promptly by the agreed payment method.
Can I Sell My Rolex Explorer Without Box and Papers?
Yes.
Watch Noble purchases Rolex Explorer and Explorer II watches without their original box or papers.
Having the original Rolex warranty card or papers, box, booklets, tags, service records, and extra bracelet links can increase the desirability and value of certain watches, but they are not required for an evaluation.
If you only have the watch, send us photographs and we can still evaluate it.
Can I Sell a Vintage Rolex Explorer?
Yes.
Watch Noble purchases select vintage Rolex Explorer and Explorer II watches.
Originality can be particularly important when evaluating a vintage Rolex. The dial, hands, bezel, case, bracelet, movement, and other components can affect collector interest and value.
For this reason, if you own an older Explorer or Explorer II, we recommend contacting us before having the watch polished, refinished, or replacing original components solely for the purpose of selling it.
We can evaluate the watch in its current condition first.
Should I Service My Rolex Explorer Before Selling It?
Usually, there is no reason to service your Rolex solely because you intend to sell it.
The cost of a Rolex service does not necessarily increase the selling value by the same amount.
This can be especially important with older or collectible Explorer watches, where originality may influence value.
Contact Watch Noble first and let us evaluate the watch as-is.
