The most important benefit of buying a certified second-hand Rolex watch is that it can be immediately available. Whereas with the official Rolex manufacturers, you may have to wait for a couple of years too to wear your favourite model on your wrist. The wait depends on the models too. A few models may take a longer time to be back in the market while a few may take comparatively lesser time. But the scenario is different when the grey market comes into the picture. Here, you have the opportunity to buy and take home whatever you like and the one that is currently available in the market. Interestingly, all the new and recently released models are available here in the grey market because it is so difficult to purchase new ones.

Why miss this wonderful opportunity? When you can buy your dream watch or grab a specific rare model for yourself! It’s just that you have to take regular and proper care of your wristwatch regardless of whether it is brand new or second-hand. You may also find a few watch models that are completely out of production but are easily available there. Thus, the selection is significantly higher in the grey market.

Don’t forget to look at the price of second-hand Rolex models. Rolex, being a top-class brand, cannot lower the prices as you may expect even if the model is second-hand. Buy used Rolex in the UK while keeping an eye on the price trends of a few trendy models and you can decide whether you want to give it shot. It may also be possible that with the noteworthy increase in the prices, you may still want to buy a pre-owned Rolex model at a higher price than the original listed price. After all, using Rolex is everything about enhancing your overall luxurious experience.

Honestly speaking, the price range of a pre-owned Rolex has a wide bracket. So, it is difficult to specify the prices based on few models. However, the vintage Rolex models can be found for less than £1000. The specialty of vintage models is that they are made up of heavy materials. The most popular entry-level Rolex models are available between the price range of £4000 and £5000. On the other hand, newer models that are worn for hardly a few days are available between the price range of £7000 and £12000. From these models onwards, there is no limit on the prices of pre-owned Rolex models.

If you are gazing at the Platinum watches, they may be approximately £50,000. Rare gold models with shimmery gemstones such as the Daytona can be bought at around £230,000. It is always said that the age of a Rolex speaks about the value of the brand rather than anything else. This means that the value of Rolex models is more or less stable. If you are still feeling that the second-hand Rolex is costing you too much, then you need to digest the fact that Rolex is rarely a bargain even if it is available in a used condition. It is always more of an investment and thus will always have a considerable price.

 

What is the Cost of the Cheapest Second-hand Rolex?

While we take a glance at the used market, Oyster Precision Series are the most inexpensive ones. Their case diameter is 34 mm with a steel or leather strap, and a hand-wound calibre. In a slightly worn-out condition, the watch models can be easily found at around £2000. Even though Rolex watches have suffered damages, they are still available above £1000 to the customers. Currently, Oyster Precision is found at less than £3000. Other similar Oyster models such as Oyster Perpetual, Oyster Perpetual Date, and Lady-Oyster Perpetual can be found at similar rates only. Moreover, it is also possible to get a lot of vintage watches with history for small amounts of money.

 

Things to consider while buying a second-hand Rolex?

As we all know that Rolex is the most imitated brand in the world, one should never rely on just the weight and the outer look of the watch. The fake manufacturers are getting better and better at selling, and the experienced and loyal Rolex users are still not able to judge at the first glance whether the masterpiece displayed is a fake or a real one. If the seller is providing a legitimate certificate of authenticity, only then you should buy a second-hand Rolex wristwatch. Not only this, the authenticity should be verified especially by an independent jeweller or a watch selling professional. Last but not least, always pay attention to the watch’s condition and the minor parts to get a better judgment.
