Pre-Owned Rolex Watches

Rolex has built its reputation on robust, precise and instantly recognisable sports and dress watches. Founded in London in 1905 and based in Geneva since 1919, the brand introduced the waterproof Oyster case in 1926 and the self-winding Perpetual rotor in 1931 — two ideas that still define every Oyster Perpetual model today. Our pre-owned Rolex selection covers the Submariner, Datejust, Day-Date, GMT-Master II, Explorer, Daytona and Oyster Perpetual, from vintage references to recent production. Because pre-owned Rolex prices vary widely by reference, dial, bracelet and the presence of box and papers, each listing states exactly what is included and shows its own photographs. Every Rolex watch we list is inspected by an independent watchmaker before it ships, graded individually against our published condition scale, and covered by the Lume Wrist Watches 2-year warranty. Orders leave our New York office within 1–3 business days with free Standard Insured shipping in the US, or Express Insured for $50. Lume Wrist Watches is an independent retailer of pre-owned watches and is not affiliated with, or an authorized dealer of, any brand shown.
