Why Choose Us to Sell Rolex Explorer II Watches
A lot of our clients are caught off-guard by our levels of service, which is important when parting with a high-value item. We get so many positive reviews, see what one person has to say below:
“I sold my Rolex White Gold Daytona to Daniel. Best price, came to my house to collect, no fuss even though the watch had some scratches (didn’t reduce his offer price) immediate payment. Overall extremely fair and professional. Highly recommend him.”
– Steve Currie


How Much Will I Get for My Rolex Explorer II?
It is difficult to say precisely how much you will get before you complete your valuation with us. However, we may be able to provide an estimate once you book your appraisal and give us a few key details about the watch.
The value of the Rolex Explorer II, and other watches, will typically depend on the following criteria:
Watch features: There are Explorer IIs with white dials, black dials and variations on the bracelet, such as the Oyster bracelet or a rubber strap. The precise features of your watch will be key to the value, as collectors prize certain characteristics over others.
Make and model: The particular model and mechanism of your watch influences the price. Movements like the Explorer II 16570, which has a polar dial or a black dial, use a 3185 or 3186 calibre that is known for its quality – they are often more valuable because of it.
Condition: Although small scratches are not usually an issue, more extensive damage on older watches might make the amount we can offer a bit lower. However, you should not worry about the condition much as we are still likely to buy it from you.

Excellent service. Fast and efficient.
We met Daniel at our home address, which was a round trip of about 200 miles for him.
Very happy with his expert advice and valuation for the jewellery.
No nonsense and all settled very quickly.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Burlingtons Ltd to anyone looking for a fair deal.

Although they claim on their website to offer better prices than those achievable at auction, I was offered less than half the scrap value for multiple silverware items. I was told that although a 4 piece silver tea set was in good condition, it had no real saleable value as “people don’t really want to buy silver tea sets”. I was also told that I would have to subtract the weight of 3 bakelite handles, and that this would be 500 grams. When I took the handle off a damaged teapot I was sending for scrap, it weighed 48 grams. So a certain amount of inflation was going on there! When I said that I was not prepared to accept the offer, I was asked “Well what are you going to do with it then?” It felt like I was being pressured to sell at the very low offer. I politely declined. Today, I scrapped a damaged silver teapot and 2 small jugs (970g) for more than half the offer made by Burlington’s, and the tea set (2kg) will go to auction.

Craig visited my home a short while ago, to value some jewellery and provided some excellent advice. Craig presented a thorough valuation all while, maintaining a no-pressure approach. The valuation was fair, and Craig came across as a genuinely kind and courteous person. I would thoroughly recommend Burlingtons Ltd, to anyone looking for a professional and a trustworthy valuation.
