If you have a white gold, yellow gold or rose gold watch. Its worth more then you paid for it most likely. Rolex is one of the top watches that holds its value. This is fact, not opinion. A friend of mine got an Explorer II I believe when he graduated college. A guy at a watch store in the diamond district would have given him 4k cash or 5k trade for it and his watch is stainless.
