Need Help From Watch Experts
I have a Rolex Datejust, steel and 18ct yellow gold, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet. Watch is 15 years gold in excellent condition. I'd like to exchange it for another Rolex in steel and/or white gold.
What would be the easiest/best way to do this?

 sounds like it's valuable if it's 15 years old. maybe you can exchange it at a watch shop...or a pawn shop. since you've had it for so long, consider keeping it in you family...start a tradition.

Tough question,
I am much better at buying watches than I am at selling them, lol. Tourneau is one of the few places I know that takes in trades (do they still?) Now normally I would never buy a watch from Tourneau but in a case like yours, I might consider it. There is a good chance they might even give you the MSRP value on your old watch. They did for me on my Breitling. If you choose not to go that route, please let us know what you do with your old one. I am interested to learn what you find out about selling. If and when you are ready to buy a new watch, contact me. I will put you in touch with my people who give VERY good deals.. B

Stay the heck away from Tourneau, they're a rip off and will bottom dollar you every time.
Call a reputable Rolex dealer in your area, have the watch appraised and don't mention that you're looking to trade it in. Once you've done that, you can figure out how to dispose of it.

If you can only get a few hundred dollars for the watch, I would just keep it or pass it along to your son or other family. That's what I'm doing with my 15 yr. old GMT II (my son can hardly wait). Just seems like a waste to sell it too cheaply.

Since I am in no rush, I will take my time until the right opportunity comes along. It looks like the only cost effective way to accomplish my swap would be to sell through one of the recommended services like timezone. I guess my first step is to get an accurate appraisal of my current watch.
