Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

The Explorer II 226570 at a glance

The 226570 is an Explorer II that our catalog records as in production since 2021. It has a 42 mm Oystersteel case, a fixed brushed steel bezel with an engraved, black-filled 24-hour scale, a black or white lacquer dial and the calibre 3285.

We don't list a nickname for the 226570; buyers and dealers identify it by reference number and dial colour.

Where the 226570 price stands right now:

  • Fair value now: $8,250–$13,800.
  • Midpoint of recent market prices: $11,000.
  • Newest observation: October 17, 2026.
  • Observations behind the estimate: 577.

What affects the price

Dial. Black and white dials share this reference, and buyers often prefer one. A listing should state the dial colour.

Bracelet. Check that the bracelet is complete with all links.

Condition. Ranges by condition (a condition shows a range only once it has enough results of its own):

  • Unworn: $10,100–$13,700.
  • Excellent: $9,350–$12,600.
  • Good: $8,950–$12,100.
  • Fair: not enough market data yet.

Box and papers. A watch sold with its box, papers and service records is easier to sell and to verify than a watch on its own.

Recent movement. Change over the past year: +3.8% over 12 months.

Tips for buyers

  • Check the dial colour you want against the listing photos.
  • Check the card date.
  • Compare the asking price with our fair-value range, and with the range for its condition where one is shown.

Tips for sellers

  • State the dial colour, and include box, card and receipt.
  • Don't polish the case or bezel.
  • Photograph the dial, bezel and caseback in daylight.
  • Use the published price data on this page as a starting point, and get more than one offer.
