01 / CONDITION LADDER

Four bands.
Evidence decides.

The condition ladder is a decision model, not an automated appraisal. A physical problem can outweigh every accessory; strong provenance cannot repair a weak watch.

01 / EXCEPTIONAL / DOCUMENTEDC$8,750–C$11,000PROOF MUST EARN THE PREMIUM

Sharp case, correct configuration, complete links or accessories and recent credible service where relevant.

02 / STRONG MARKET EXAMPLEC$8,400–C$9,800THE LEDGER GUIDE RANGE

The normal decision band for an honest, correctly described example with no material ownership surprise.

03 / HONEST / WATCH-ONLYC$7,050–C$9,200DISCOUNT WITH A REASON

Visible wear, incomplete set or weaker transaction terms can be acceptable when the price absorbs the friction.

04 / SERVICE-RISK / ISSUEC$5,550–C$8,050INSPECT BEFORE PRICE

Deferred service, damage, parts uncertainty or weak seller evidence require manual review rather than blind discounting.

02 / MARKET CROSS-CHECK
EXTERNAL SOURCEWatchCharts CA / Rolex Explorer 114270

The current market clusters around the low-C$9,000s. Case geometry, bracelet condition, full links, service history and dial or hand replacement status decide whether an example belongs above or below the guide centre.

The editorial range is deliberately narrower than the entire listing universe. It aims to frame an ordinary informed transaction, not every optimistic ask or distressed sale.

MODEL-SPECIFIC RISKVERIFY THE EXAMPLE

Polishing, bracelet condition, missing links and service replacement parts create most of the spread. Confirm dial and hand configuration, serial context and whether the full bracelet is present.

03 / ACT ON THE RANGE

Price context.
Then a real decision.

Use the same range differently depending on whether you are waiting to buy, judging a live listing or preparing a watch to exit.
