Trade In
Details
A Purpose-Built Classic

The Rolex Explorer was engineered for legibility and robustness, famously linked to the 1953 Everest expedition. The reference 14270 updated the model for a new era, blending the classic 36mm proportions with modern features like a sapphire crystal and an improved movement. It offers the original's utility in a package well-suited for daily wear.


A Late Production Example

This P-serial example dates to 2000, near the end of the 14270's production run. It features the model's signature black dial, a layout known for its clarity. The Explorer's design has remained one of the most consistent in the Rolex catalog, a testament to the strength of the original concept.


Overall Good Condition

This watch is in overall good condition. The case appears to be unpolished and shows normal signs of use. The matching Oyster bracelet is in good shape, and the dial and crystal are both perfect. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.


The Versatile Choice

The Explorer is a versatile and understated watch. Its 36mm case is sized to sit flat on the wrist without bulk, making it a comfortable daily wearer. It's a capable and straightforward timepiece that serves as a reliable companion for any occasion.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
