I sold the Air-King to help pay for my house

When I was in my twenties, a senior coworker at work told me, "Rolexes are great!" So when I got a bonus, I went out and bought an Air-King. I really liked the simple design of the Air-King, but now that I'd bought my own house, I decided to sell the watch to help pay for the down payment because I'd heard that Rolexes could fetch very high prices. I'd lost the box and warranty card on the Air-King, and I'd barely had it repaired, but it turned out to be worth more than I expected. I was impressed with the price a Rolex could fetch. The store staff gave me a lot of trivia about the Air-King and a detailed explanation of the appraisal value, which really put me at ease with the whole process.

I am selling a Rolex Air-King

I'm selling my Rolex Air-King. I've had it for a long time, but I've been wearing it less and less, and it's been sitting in its box for the past few years. I had no intention of selling something so precious to me, but when I saw the buy-back price for the Rolex Air-King in the flyer, I decided to have it appraised just to see how much it was worth. Although I told them I just wanted an appraisal, I was pleased to find that they were very receptive to my request and conducted a very thorough appraisal. The price they offered for the Rolex Air-King was higher than I expected, so I agreed to sell it.

I can sell my Air-King for a high price

I searched online for a place to sell my Air King and found Jewel Cafe, the closest store to my house. I had thrown away the box, so I was worried about whether they would accept the watch without any accessories. However, this didn't seem to be a problem, and I was pleasantly surprised by the higher price I'd expected. I was even offered drinks and snacks while the Air King was being appraised, so I could relax and wait without getting bored. The buyback price was great, of course, but the extremely knowledgeable staff and the courteous manner in which they treated me were also the reasons I decided to sell at Jewel Cafe.

I went to have my Rolex Air-King appraised!

I've always wanted to buy and wear a Rolex at least once, so I chose the Air-King because it was simple and easy to wear. I wore it for quite a while before it broke. Then I received a promotional postcard from Jewel Cafe saying they accept broken Rolexes. Curious about the price of a used and broken Air-King, I took it in to get it appraised. Based on the price, I was considering buying a new watch instead of repairing my current one. I'd been to the store a few times, but I was completely refreshed by the pleasant atmosphere, the brightly lit store, and the friendly female staff! They graciously listened to me talk about various things while I waited. They carefully explained my Air-King in an easy-to-understand manner, and the price was reasonable, so I decided not to repair it but to sell it and buy a new one. Thank you very much. I'll come back if I have the chance.

I'm selling my Rolex Air-King!

I bought my Rolex Air-King when I was young, and it had been sitting in storage for decades. While renovating my house, I thought it was time to sell it, so I searched online for "Rolex buybacks" and "Air-King buybacks." Jewel Cafe had excellent reviews, so I decided to take my watch there. I was treated very well, and offered a drink and a magazine to keep me occupied while I waited for the appraisal to be completed. They explained everything to me in detail, and I felt the price was so good that I decided to sell it. Even though my Rolex Air-King had never been serviced, they offered me a good price and I was satisfied. I would definitely use their services again.

The Rolex Air-King I bought 20 years ago…

This was my first time going to Jewel Cafe for an appraisal. My Air-King is the oldest model of all Rolex watches currently available. When I first entered society, I wanted to buy a nice watch at least once. But after I bought it, I was so afraid of scratching it that I didn't really wear it and just kept it. A large newspaper advertisement offering a 20,000 yen cash discount on a Rolex caught my eye. I knew from TV and online that Rolex prices were rising, and I was curious about the cash discount, so I contacted the store. They invited me to come in whenever I had time, so I went in another time and, to my relief, was greeted cheerfully by the staff. Since my watch was an older model and had never been serviced, I was prepared for it not to be worth much. Nevertheless, they did a detailed appraisal, and when I told them about the newspaper advertisement, they also offered me a cash discount. I'm happy because I got an appraisal for my underused Rolex Air-King and I managed to sell it for a great price!

I am delighted to be selling an Air-King that was passed down to me from my grandfather's generation!

I had an Air-King that had been passed down to me from my grandfather's generation, but it was so worn that the strap was almost broken, so I decided to sell it after considering buying a new watch. I felt really sorry because I had so many memories with that watch, but Jewel Cafe listened to my story better than ever, so I was able to sell it with peace of mind. They even served drinks like a real cafe, so I could relax while waiting for the appraisal. I hope to come back again in the future.

I sold the Air King that my father gave me

I sold the Air King I'd been given by my father. While shopping over the holidays, I learned about Jewel Cafe, which was willing to buy back Air Kings. Feeling like it was time for a new watch, I asked for an estimate. The staff explained the buyback process so kindly and carefully that I felt confident selling my Air King. I was thrilled to get a better price than I expected, as I'd maintained it and kept all of its accessories. Thank you so much!

Ways to sell Rolex Air-King
at a higher price

How to Sell Rolex Air-King at a High Price〈 1 〉

Sell your Rolex as soon as possible if you have decided that you won’t be using it

The price of a Rolex varies depending on the model, but it can also fluctuate depending on the production year and reference number. For example, popular models with a relatively newer year and reference number can fetch a higher market price. Also, since demand tends to vary depending on the model, we recommend that you sell your Rolex as soon as you have decided that you will not be using it.

How to Sell Rolex Air-King at a High Price〈 2 〉

Sell your Rolex with its warranty card and accessories for a higher price

Be sure to keep the warranty card, box, spare parts, and instruction manual that came with your Rolex when you purchased it. Without the warranty card, you may not be able to receive an authorized service or repair. Therefore, the purchase price of a Rolex will vary greatly depending on whether it has a warranty card. In addition, if the watch does not come with spare links, this limits its range of adjustable sizes, which may result in a lower price. That’s why it is advisable to keep all accessories carefully without throwing them away.

Remove the dirt from your Rolex and keep it clean to sell it at a higher price

The key to increasing the appraisal value of a Rolex is to clean it as much as possible beforehand. Even a simple cleaning at home, such as wiping the glass surface or removing dirt from the crevices of the strap, can impact the appraisal value. If your Rolex has not been serviced for a long time, it is a good idea to just bring it in as is. Of course, a watch that has been serviced will fetch a higher price, but Rolexes can be expensive to repair and it may take many months. Considering the downsides, it is recommended to bring in the watch without getting it serviced.

Rolex Air-King's trivia
of the week

This Week's Trivia on Air-King Purchases

The history of Rolex began in London. It is said that today there are approximately 600 Swiss watchmaking companies, many of which were founded more than 100 years ago. However, only a handful have managed to maintain their operations uninterrupted to the present day. One such company is Rolex, whose founder, Hans Wilsdorf, was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1881. At the age of 12, he lost both parents, dropped out of school, and began working for Cuno Korten, a Swiss watchmaker in La Chaux-de-Fonds. There, he was tasked with exporting British watches, allowing him to develop his business acumen from a young age. In 1903, at the age of 22, he moved to London, and two years later, in 1905, he founded Wilsdorf & Davis, the predecessor to Rolex.

Five years later, in search of a "creative and easy-to-pronounce word," he renamed the company to the Rolex brand we know today. In 1910, he entered into a partnership involving watch movements with Aegler, a Swiss company specializing in precision instrument manufacturing, and obtained the highest level of certification from the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC). In 1914, Rolex was awarded the highest recognition from the Kew Observatory. Hans Wilsdorf's next goal was to develop a robust case capable of protecting watch movements from dust and moisture. So in 1926, in collaboration with the Oyster Watch Co., he developed and patented a hollow metal case and a screw-down crown.

Thus was born the Rolex Oyster, the signature Rolex movement that endures to this day. A legendary event made the Rolex Oyster famous worldwide: in 1927, a London stenographer named Mercedes Gleitze achieved the astonishing feat of swimming across the Strait of Dover in 15 hours and 15 minutes, all while wearing her Rolex Oyster on her wrist. The fact that Rolex was able to survive such extreme conditions demonstrated the exceptional water resistance of the Oyster case, which ultimately spurred the development of waterproof watches among other manufacturers. The success of the Rolex Oyster made Rolex a worldwide household name for its watchmaking technology, and the company subsequently turned its attention to developing automatic watches.

In 1931, Rolex produced the first watch equipped with a self-winding movement with a full 360-degree rotation, thus overcoming the biggest problem with automatic windings up to that point: the poor efficiency of the winding mechanism. This technology dramatically improved the winding efficiency, further enhancing Rolex's innovative capabilities. The integration of this perpetual movement into the prized Rolex Oyster resulted in the Oyster Perpetual, nicknamed "the Bubbleback" in today's antiques market because the rotor that winds the mainspring is positioned above the movement, resulting in an unusually thick watch due to the rounded back of the watch being bubble-like to accommodate the rotor.

In 1945, another revolutionary invention was added to the Oyster Perpetual: the Datejust. As the name suggests, the date display automatically advanced each day at midnight, a groundbreaking mechanism at the time. These three key inventions—the Oyster case in 1926, the Perpetual mechanism in 1931, and the Datejust mechanism in 1945—marked the perfection of practical Rolex watch design.
