Men’s Pre-Owned Rolex Watches

BUYING A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED ROLEX VS NEW ROLEX

At SwissWatchExpo, we believe that buying a luxury timepiece pre-owned creates the maximum possible value for the customer.

Much like buying a car, watches can only be sold as “brand new” once by an authorized dealer. Once your watch leaves the dealership, it is already considered pre-owned, whether or not it is worn after that. Consequently, there will also be a certain level of depreciation when it moves from “brand new” to “pre-owned”.

By buying a watch pre-owned, you avoid taking this initial depreciation. While this is not always the case – you’ll find that vintage Rolex watches tend to soar in value over the years – the general rule is that a pre-owned Rolex watch is less expensive than a brand new piece.

Buying a pre-owned Rolex also opens up a wider range of models and price points. Buying brand new limits your choices to current models, whereas the pre-owned market can give you a vast array of models, including previous versions of watches, limited editions, and even discontinued styles.

Pre-owned watches can also be bought in mint and excellent condition. At SwissWatchExpo, we are committed to delivering watches in “like new” condition, so every watch that we offer for sale is first inspected, and restored if needed, by our trained watchmakers. Such restorations are standard in the industry, and we often hear from clients that they can’t believe the watch isn’t new! Lastly, if you prefer your watch to be as new as possible, there are watches in the pre-owned market that have been kept unworn.
