I want to buy a Rolex explorer 1. Should I buy it used for around $9,500? Or someone try to wait for the AD which who knows when it’ll be. I’m a bit hesitant to buy a used Rolex. Is buying used from a reputable source risky?

For $9500 im assuming it’s the 124270. As long as it was originally purchased from an ad, and comes with papers then Rolex will honor the factory warranty.

That being said the Explorer is one of the easier models to get so you might put your name down on the waiting list. They also show up used on the forums for under $8500 from time to time so a bit of patience might save you some dough.

Looking for an explorer myself but the 1016.

By definition if it’s from a reputable source then it’s not risky (or low level of risk).

Chrono24 is fine, but buy the seller. there’s a ton of sketchy sellers, but also a lot of ADs list their preowned inventory on chrono.

I put a deposit down on a Rolex for my wife last November with my local dealer. Nice guy and no reason to doubt it as I underwent here were a lot of delays with Rolex. He initially said they’d expect it in 3-4 months and has since said they’re working to fulfill all orders by end of June. Is this ridiculous or sound about right?
