Used Rolex Collection.
Bay Area Watch Buyers is the leading online marketplace for buying, selling and trading pre-owned timepieces.
With over 15 years of experience, and thousands of satisfied customers, we carry the world's largest selection of Rolex watches for sale as well as other top brands.
This model features a black dial and a two-colour Cerachrom bezel insert in blue and black ceramic. In addition to conventional hour, minute and seconds hands, the GMT-Master II features an arrow-tipped hand, which circles the dial once every twenty four hours.
The Rolex fluted bezel is a mark of distinction. Originally, the fluting of the Oyster bezel had a functional purpose: it served to screw the bezel onto the case helping to ensure the waterproofness of the watch. It was therefore identical to the fluting on the case.
The Submariner's rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduations allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops. Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic.

We cover all watch news and information but mainly for Rolex watches.

The first step is to check your paperwork. The reference number can be found on the papers, warranty card and occasionally on the case. If you don’t have access to these documents, some brands include the reference number on the caseback engraving. Occasionally there will be two numbers engraved on the caseback, one will be the serial number (the unique identifiable number for your watch) and the other will be the reference number. Still not sure what your reference number is? Include as many pictures as you can, including the caseback and our team will take a look.

When selling your Rolex timepiece, the more information and original items you can provide, the better your chances of receiving top market value.
A great place to start is by locating your watch’s serial and model numbers. These identifiers are essential for buyers and appraisers to accurately assess your watch’s age, authenticity, and current market value.
Additional documents such as:
Original sales receipts
Warranty papers
Service records
...are extremely valuable. They provide a complete ownership history and help verify the authenticity and condition of your watch.
Don’t overlook the original box and papers—these items can significantly increase the resale value. In today’s pre-owned market, many buyers expect them as part of the purchase. They serve as an added assurance that the watch is genuine and well cared for. If you still have them, store them in a safe place and include them when you’re ready to sell.
Lastly, any original parts—such as extra bracelet links, bezels, or dials—are highly desirable to collectors and buyers. Including these components further boosts your chances of a smooth, successful, and high-value sale.
In short, the more complete your Rolex package, the better. Providing full documentation and accessories can significantly improve both the price and speed of your sale.

Rolex watches have been made in Geneva, Switzerland since 1919 when the company’s founders, Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis, relocated the operation from London, England.

Pre-owned and select vintage Rolex watches are very sound investments. In fact, Rolex models over 25 years old have doubled in value. You see, brand awareness is a major factor in increasing resale demand. This is not the case with all luxury watches, but because of its history and sheer buying power in the market, Rolex is an exception to the rule.
Those in the watch industry understand that a Rolex not only holds its value but will also increase in price, thanks to its exceptional quality, appeal and desirability. Add to this the incredible demand sought by Rolex enthusiasts ‘round the world, and it’s easy to see why and how the value of pre-owned Rolex models consistently remain at peak levels.
