Brand new or pre-owned?

[Trinidad]

When i was a Rolex newbie in the late 90s until 2010, i bought 4 brand new Rolexes.

Since the mid 2000s Rolex came up with quite a handful of newer designs.
I grew attached to the older more classic designs and between 2010 to 2015, i bought about 20 preowned Rolexes versus only one brand new full solid gold GMT2

the Rolexes i like today are all discontinued. So i cant buy brand new anymore.
Maybe its a blessing in disguise.

for the piece of mind get it verified at rsc for sure!

If buying brand new Rolex from grey dealer (but no feedback score and dunno if its reputable), is it safe? I am intending to go verify at RSC

Brand new or pre-owned?

In most cases a pre-owned watch offer value for money. Different watches have different depreciation costs and what I notice is that Rolex and Omega watches have the least depreciation costs. What do you guys think?

I try to buy watches which I really like alot and will wear for a long time so I prefer new.

As Long as condition is mint n the price is right,why not a used watch😊

It depend if you intend to wear it for awhile. Like 5 years. If not just go for pre-owned. If you get a Pre-owned, please go verify it at RSC

For something so ex, it is better to get brand new to get lesser headaches unless u want to gamble with your luck.

I would prefer a pre owned model as I won't lose much in future if I trade it away... Usually once u start buying, it won't be your last watch...

I will choose preowned anytime for brands like Rolex and AP. At least when I let go of it, my losses ain't that heavy. Watch dealers normally further undercut about 20% off 2nd hand market resale value. If u like to buy and change watches every now and then, pre owned ones can still get to play around with a few pieces.
