What is the Value of a Pre-Owned Rolex?

There are a number of different factors that affect how much your Rolex will sell for. Before you sell a Rolex watch, make sure to look for its 5-8 digit engraved serial number. This helps to determine the value of your watch by knowing the approximate date or year that it was produced.

The serial numbers on your Rolex are machine engraved on the watch case side between the strap lugs at 6 o’clock. However, from 2005 onward, Rolex started inscribing serial numbers onto the inside rim of the watch, or the ‘rehaut’, for styling reasons.

Another thing to look for is your Rolex watch model number, which is located on the side of the case at 12 o’clock. To see it, you must detach the strap from the case. These 2 numbers will help the buyers evaluate the worth of your watch.

Other watch characteristics that could boost the value of a Rolex are the type of finish, such as damaskeene plates (also known as pearlage or Cotes de Geneve), blue colored screws, diamonds or other gemstones set at the hour marks. Within the watch itself, moto-barrels, rounded spokes, and escaped wheels with chiseled teeth affect the total watch value.
