Pre-Owned Rolex Watches

About Pre-Owned Rolex Watches

Rolex is a premier watch brand. Known worldwide for their commitment to quality and craftsmanship, their timepieces are a popular accessory for those who reach for the best. Rolex watches are the most desired and admired watch brand in the world. As known at the moment, the most expensive timepiece purchased was a 1968 Rolex Daytona owned by Paul Newman, bought in 2017 for over $17 million dollars. Not all can access these marvelous watches; some attractive models have since been discontinued. However, there is our pre-owned Rolex selection to fill that void. We only accept high-quality and well-maintained timepieces to ensure that every customer receives a watch they can rely on for years to come.

A Brief History of Rolex

There’s no high-end watch company better known than Rolex. Their story began in 1908 when Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis founded the company in London. The name Rolex was chosen because it can be spoken in any language, all while fitting on a watch case. They initially offered watches created from Swiss-imported movements and in-house designed cases. After World War I, they moved to Switzerland to join the greater luxury watch industry. Finally, they started revolutionizing the horology industry.

In 1926, Rolex released the iconic Oyster line. They used state-of-the-art technology to protect the timepieces. Hermetic sealing ensures peerless durability and water resistance. This line would be renamed the Oyster Perpetual with the inclusion of Rolex’s signature trademarked perpetual rotor which is still offered today. Rolex would continue to innovate horology, introducing the first chronometer with a date in 1945 and the first automatic day/date dial display in 1956.

Popular Rolex Collections

Rolex offers a diverse body of enchanting watches, each sublime and superb. They are divided into classic and professional lines, separated by their inspiration from the old and new. Many of these collections are decades-old and well-established icons amongst watch enthusiasts. Here is an all-too-brief list of some of their classic watch collections.

• Day-Date: a celebration of the company’s distinctive date complication. Sleek and luxurious, they’re available in multiple gorgeous styles. Sometimes called the “President’s Watch,” Day-Date watches are popular accessories for leaders in politics, business, and culture. 
• Datejust and Lady-Datejust: Classic collections for men and women respectively. They sport a timeless aesthetic derived from detailed metalwork, luxurious design, and radiant materials. Diamonds and precious metals are a main draw in this chic line.
• Oyster Perpetual: A marvelous and iconic collection, the aforementioned Oyster Perpetual is legendary. Modern timepieces in this line are minimalist and straightforward, with dark or colorful dials matched by contrasting bracelets.
• Sky-Dweller: Travel and time-keeping oriented, these stylish watches feature calendar and GMT complications to ensure a practical advantage. Luxe black and gold is the defining color scheme of this extravagant collection.
• Cellini: This timepiece is a reimagining of antique timepieces. A rich leather strap, rose gold case, white dial, and an ornate moonphase complication impart a chic elegance to the watch.
• Daytona: While iconic, Daytona timepieces are challenging to find. They were produced in low quantities but exhibit luxurious materials like colorful gemstones. We’re always excited to offer a Rolex Daytona.

Rolex is always producing and designing state-of-the-art timepieces with advanced technology, creative artistry, and distinctive glamor. They have a wide variety of complications, each sure to make life a little easier. Some professional, contemporary collections are:

• Air-King: These watches verge the Oyster’s design approach with aviation-oriented timepiece design. They exhibit quick-to-read Arabic numerals on the indices and unique minute readings.
• GMT-Master: A watch line committed to displaying a marvelous GMT, these timepieces are excellent professional companions. They tell the time in multiple time zones, perfect for remote and bicoastal workers. GMT-Master watches have a distinctive color contrast on the crown and bracelet.
• Yacht-Master: Made to be water-resistant and nautical-appropriate, these timepieces use Rolex-signature elements like an Oysterflex bracelet and a Cerachrom case. They showcase glow-in-the-dark hands to allow for time-telling on a midnight sail.
• Submarine: These exceptional pieces are a reimagining of dive watchers. Highly water-resistant and air-tight, they pair elegance and sporty style.

Benefits of Shopping Pre-Owned Rolex Watches

So long as it’s with a reputable dealer like Brockhaus Jewelry, investing in a pre-owned Rolex can be an excellent option for many reasons.

For starters, one of these watches will cost you less money. This can be a revelation for first-time owners nervous about buying a remarkable accessory. Unlike most watch brands, Rolex timepieces retain their value for decades. Pre-owned watches also depreciate in value slower over time. This is because a watch instantly switches from “new" to “pre-owned” if worn but doesn’t transition from “pre-owned” to “more pre-owned” once you wear it.

Another benefit is that some pre-owned Rolex watches are discontinued. This ensures that you can wear a piece of history without necessarily being a part of it, allowing you to wear a unique and distinct accessory. It imparts an exhilarating exclusivity that cannot be found in brand-new varieties.

Drawbacks of Buying a Pre-Owned Rolex

Purchasing a pre-owned Rolex can be risky, especially if you know little about watches. Rolexes are among the most desirable and counterfeited designer brands. While immediately visible by an expert, this is not the case with newcomers. This is why it’s always essential to buy pre-owned watches from reputable sources like Official Authorized Jewelers, such as Brockhaus Jewelry.

Another drawback is the unpredictable selection of pre-owned timepieces. Our inventory is always fluctuating as we buy and sell watches. This can be thrilling but can necessitate waiting if you seek one specific model. Stay in contact with our professional team as we help you find the Rolex watch of your dreams.
