Pre-Owned Rolex Submariner Watches

The Rolex Submariner was introduced in 1953 as one of the first wristwatches waterproof to 100 metres, and it set the template for the modern dive watch: a rotating timing bezel, luminous hands and markers and a screw-down Oyster case. Over seven decades it has evolved through references such as the 5513, 16610, 116610 and 126610, with options including the no-date version, the green-bezel “Kermit” and “Hulk”, and two-tone and gold models. Our pre-owned Submariner selection lets you compare these generations side by side. Every Rolex Submariner 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.
