What Affects Your Rolex's Value
Not sure what your watch is worth? These are the main factors we evaluate:
● Model & Reference — Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master II, and Day-Date typically command the strongest prices
● Condition — Original dials, unpolished cases, and intact bracelet stretching all affect value
● Box & Papers — Complete sets (box + papers) can increase value by 10–30%
● Year & Generation — Certain production years and transitions (Tritium vs. Super-LumiNova, for example) carry collector premiums
● Customization — Aftermarket diamonds or modified dials are evaluated individually and may affect offer value
