Why Buy a Used Rolex Submariner?
An iconic dive watch, the Submariner has developed into one of the world’s most sought-after high-end sports timepieces.

In order to facilitate a quick, safe, and transactional purchase, our listings emphasise provenance, condition, and service history.

The differences between the references in the Submariner Model Guide
Rolex Submariner 124060 (41mm, No-Date)
Introduced in 2020 with a 41mm case and the Calibre 3230, this modern no-date Submariner has a cleaner dial, a 70-hour power reserve, and updated case proportions that appeal to many consumers looking for a modern yet subtle Submariner.
Rolex Submariner 126610 LN/LV (Date, 41mm)
The Calibre 3235 and 41mm case is used in the current steel Date references; select LV for green bezel versions or LN for classic black. Cerachrom bezels and newer calibres translate into improved longevity and performance.
Classics from the past and present: Rolex Submariner 116610, 114060, 14060, 16610, 5513, and 1680
These references range from classic aluminium bezel pieces (16610, older 14060 series) to transitional pieces (16800/168000) and vintage non-date icons (5513) in terms of bezel material, movement family, case proportions, and collector demand. We label each listing with the movement, production era, and distinctive features to facilitate comparisons.
Important Features & Things to Look for When Purchasing
Check the products we showcase and confirm on each listing to make a confident purchase:
- Reference & Serial/Year: Verifies the original model and manufacturing period.
- Movement and Service History: Look for records of servicing; we provide service dates and notes from the watchmaker.
- Bezel Type: Cerachrom (ceramic) is more resistant to scratches and fading than aluminium.
- Dial & Hands: Replaced dials lower collector value; original dials and hands have a higher value.
- Case and Bracelet Condition: Price and fit are influenced by clasp codes, end-link fit, and bracelet stretch.
- Boxes & Papers: We clearly identify full-set listings because complete sets increase resale value.
- Authentication Report: Our inspection report (photos + condition grade) is shipped with every watch.
Transparency in Condition, Grading, and Pricing
To enable a buyer to quickly make a transactional decision, we employ a consistent grading system:
- Mint/Like New: Very little wear; probably a whole set.
- Excellent: Tested and serviced with normal light wear.
- Good: Clear description of problems; noticeable wear and light refinishing.
- Fair/Project: Priced appropriately for collectors and service providers.
High-quality photos, caseback and clasp codes when visible, a movement photo (if possible), and an honest service/part history are all included in every listing.
Verification and Our Inspection Procedure
Genuineness cannot be compromised. Our procedure consists of:
- Visual inspection by certified watchmakers.
- Movement verification (calibre, serial matching where applicable).
- Case, bezel, dial and bracelet cross-check against factory specs.
- Pressure/waterproof testing for dive-rated pieces.
Each watch ships with a stamped inspection report and, where relevant, a copy of our service receipt.
