Rolex watches are not just timepieces; they are symbols of prestige and sophistication. However, purchasing a brand-new Rolex can be a significant investment. That’s where pre-owned Rolex watches come into play, offering a blend of luxury and value.
Why Choose A Pre-Owned Rolex?
Firstly, It Avoids The Wait!
Your chance of getting to the top of the dealerships little black book to receive a call from a main dealer is massively reduced if you do not have a history of already buying Rolex or luxury watches from them. Many gents sports models are simply hard to find and the lead time can be over a year or more as demand outstrips supply.
Cost-Effectiveness:
Many pre-owned Rolex watches are often priced considerably lower than their brand-new counterparts. This allows you to own a high-quality timepiece without breaking the bank. Rolex watches have a reputation for maintaining or even increasing in value over time. By investing in a pre-owned model, you’re not only acquiring a luxurious watch but also a potentially valuable asset. Watches like the Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master II often retain or increase in value and can sometimes shoot up in price when a model becomes discontinued or rare. Rolex have increased their prices twice this year in relation to the rising gold prices. You may also be lucky enough to buy a unique find which offers the chance to own rare or discontinued models that may no longer be available at retail stores. In years to come you may be sitting on a small fortune.
How To Buy Wisely:
The most important part of buying a Rolex is to buy wisely. Verify its authenticity by buying from a trusted retailer. At Christopher Brown Jewellers all our luxury watches have been fully serviced, authenticated, and renovated by expert Rolex engineers so you can be sure you are buying from a trusted retailer. Just because a watch looks good value on the internet does not mean it’s a good buy. All our watches have had a full expert service and restoration prior to reaching our shops so you can be sure you are buying a time piece that will not cost you a small fortune in repair bills just a few months down the line or worse still, be fitted with the wrong or counterfeit parts that could render your timepiece worthless.
Inspect its condition. Check for signs of wear and tear and handle the watch to assess its condition. Always buy a watch with a warranty or guarantee to safeguard your investment. All our watches carry a full 2 year warranty from date of purchase that gives you peace of mind you will often not get if buying online.
Whether you’re looking for an everyday watch or something more suited to formal occasions, your lifestyle should dictate your choice and that your Rolex matches your style and preferences, whether it’s for investment or just for personal enjoyment.
