Rolex Watches Worth Selling

Rolex Date/Datejust

The Rolex Datejust is one of the most iconic and popular Rolex watches. First introduced in 1945, the Datejust has maintained its classic yet modern style over the years. With its versatile 36mm case size, variety of dial colors, and options between different bezel and bracelet types, the Datejust appeals to diverse watch buyers. The date complication is both useful and complements the clean dial design, making it an easy-to-wear everyday luxury watch. Being made by top Swiss watchmaker Rolex, the Datejust retains excellent value - both new and on the second-hand market. Whether one keeps a Datejust for life or sells it down the road, many see the Datejust as a safe investment piece when looking to sell Rolex watches. This winning combination of great looks, usefulness, and comfort is why the Rolex Datejust remains so popular year after year.
 

Rolex Submariner

Introduced in 1953 as a watch built for diving and aquatic activity, the Rolex Submariner has evolved into one of the most iconic and widely recognizable luxury sport watches on the market. With its 40-41mm case size, rotating timing bezel, and solid construction, the Submariner exudes rugged capability and refined style in one striking package. Its water resistance to 300 meters makes it overqualified for nearly every wearer's lifestyle, but its versatility to be dressed up or down and withstand daily abuse continues the Submariner's appeal. Combine its imposing watch face with Rolex's excellent reputation for making precision timepieces, and the Submariner has built a stellar reputation as a key model for Rolex collectors and fans. 


Rolex GMT-Master

Introduced in 1955 for pilots, the Rolex GMT-Master has become an iconic aviation-themed luxury watch. Designed in collaboration with Pan Am Airways, the GMT-Master features a distinctive 24-hour bezel and an additional GMT hand to display a second time zone. Combined with the GMT-Master's storied history and unique color variations over the years, ranging from the ‘Pepsi’ blue & red bezel to the ‘Batman’ black & blue bezel, the GMT-Master has a broad collector appeal amongst Rolex enthusiasts. And much like the Submariner, the GMT-Master holds its value well in the second-hand market due to its steady popularity. Whether selling to fund another watch purchase or make some profit, owners know the GMT-Master can attract high demand when they decide to let go of this iconic aviation watch.
 

Rolex Daytona

The Rolex Daytona is a chronograph model that has become hugely popular to sell due to its prestige, exclusivity, and skyrocketing valuations. As Rolex's only chronograph watch, the Daytona already had an heir of luxury status since its release in 1963. However, over the past few decades, the Daytona has turned into a white-hot commodity watch that sells great on the second-hand market.

Much of this demand stems from extremely long waiting lists and limited supply that has made the Daytona extremely hard to acquire from authorized dealers. The difficulty of getting a brand new Daytona at retail price has given rise to the perception that the watch is a true status symbol and grail timepiece. Both new and pre-owned Daytona command premium resale prices, with sellers often capitalizing on the model's collectibility and the market's unrelenting appetite for one of the most coveted Rolex sports models ever released.
