Rolex budget

Right, based from the uk, I've been searching for a Rolex for around £2000 preferably with at least papers, I love every model of Rolex but particularly the explorer or date just, please tell me, is this a useless idea or can anyone help me, I'm not majorly picky on era correct bracelet/service dials and so because I'm willing to slowly buy and replace all incorrect parts, again can anyone help or is it pointless,
As always guys, thanks in advance for any replies

I think at the £2000 mark you would struggle to find anything in reasonable condition with papers.

At £2500 some would be available to you and in good condition, oyster perpetuals, datejusts etc.

However I would save the extra £1000 and be looking to spend around £3000. Datejust are easily had with box, papers, good condition etc. at this mark, explorers are a little harder to come by but achievable.

Great advice good sir, where do you suggest I look for these kind of watches in the uk? Local dealer is overpriced because I live in a small town.
