I am selling my old Rolex Datejust.

I found a DateJust at a house sale that my father had bought 40 years ago. Since I'd never seen him wear it, I asked him about it, and he told me that he only wore it when he first bought it, but hadn't used it since then for decades. I checked it out and found that it was an older model. I was wondering if I could sell something I didn't even know was usable, so I went to Jewel Café, which I'd learned about from a passerby. The staff was very nice and made me feel comfortable. They also explained everything to me, even though it was an older DateJust. I was originally going to have it appraised just to see if I could sell it, but I got a great price and decided to sell it right away! I'll definitely use their services again!

My Datejust was just purchased.

I bought a DateJust a few decades ago and had been storing it since I hadn't used it lately. When I took it out for the first time in a while, the glass on the case cracked. I loved my DateJust so much I considered sending it in for repair, but since it was expensive, I decided to find a place that would buy it. I searched online for "buy DateJust," and that's when I found Jewel Cafe. I was initially hesitant about buying a "broken Rolex," but the staff was very knowledgeable about DateJusts and gave me a thorough assessment. I was very happy because I got a price that exceeded my expectations. They also seem to buy watches other than DateJusts, so I would definitely recommend Jewel Cafe to any friends who are looking to sell their watches.

I request my Datejust purchase!

I requested a price quote for my Rolex DateJust. Since I have several other watches, I don't wear it as often as I used to. It was the first watch I bought myself, and I have some fond memories of it. So, I came to the store just to get an appraisal to see how much it would cost. However, the staff served me well without any unpleasant expressions. While waiting for the appraisal, I was able to pass the time reading a magazine and enjoying the drinks they prepared. I also chatted with them about my memories of buying the DateJust. We had such a great time that it felt like time had flown by. Although it wasn't repaired, since I still had the box, bracelet parts, and warranty card, I still got a pretty good deal. I didn't expect to get such a good deal, but on the staff's advice, I decided to sell it. I'm thinking of buying a new one with the money I got from this DateJust sale. I'll definitely visit again if I have anything else, thank you very much!

I'm selling my grandfather's Datejust

Since my grandfather, who lives with me, asked me to sell his beloved DateJust, I called a few shops and decided to visit Jewel Café because of their kind gesture. They offered me a drink while I waited for the appraisal, which I appreciated because I was thirsty. Honestly, when I asked a few other shops, many of them were quite dismissive. Jewel Café, on the other hand, was so enthusiastic in their approach that I decided to bring my watch here. They also thoroughly explained the condition of my DateJust to me, which put me at ease. I consulted with my grandfather after they negotiated a price, and he was very satisfied with it, so I sold it right away. I'm glad I went because the staff was great, and most importantly, my grandfather was happy.

I'm selling my broken Datejust

About 30 years ago, I was a sailor and traveled extensively, so I saved up and bought a Rolex Datejust. Unfortunately, I dropped it recently and the glass shattered. It was time to get it repaired, so I considered taking it to a repair shop. But I decided I wanted to buy a new watch with the money I earned from selling it, so I took it to Jewel Café to have it appraised. Although the appraisal took some time, the price they offered was higher than I expected. I was a bit worried because it was an old Datejust, but now I can add it to my new watch purchase. Thank you so much!

They bought my Datejust without the belt

I found a Rolex DateJust without a strap while cleaning the house the other day. I wasn't sure how to dispose of it since it was useless, so I consulted a friend, who told me they had sold their watch for a good price at Jewel Café before. I went straight to their store when they told me they accepted DateJusts without straps when I asked. My DateJust was offered at a higher price than I expected, and I was very satisfied. I was a little nervous about buying a watch in a store, but the staff were very friendly and the overall atmosphere was quite comfortable. I would definitely use their services again.

Selling my unused Datejust and buying an Apple Watch!

When I was a Rolex enthusiast, I always collected them at every opportunity and bought Datejust, Yacht-Master, GMT-Master, etc. But because I'm a person who only has three minutes of passion (lol), I've lost interest in Rolex lately, so I decided to sell my DateJust that I kept without repairing it. The box was lost because I moved a lot, so when I asked if the price would be much higher if the box was still there, I was relieved when they said the price wouldn't change much. The appraisal process took about 15 minutes, I sold it for about the same price as I bought it, and got 3 Apple Watches for me, my wife, and my son. Now my family is very happy, Thank you very much!

Broken Datejust

I brought a DateJust I'd bought with my savings from my office job. I wasn't sure if they would buy it because it was 20 years old and quite worn. The staff was very knowledgeable about watches and said that even a broken DateJust could fetch a good price, so I decided to sell it. Not only did I get a pretty good price, but the store was also very pleasant to visit because of the friendly staff. I'd recommend it to my wife, too.

Ways to sell Rolex DateJust
at a higher price

How to Sell Rolex DateJust 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 DateJust 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 DateJust's trivia
of the week

The Datejust is the best-selling watch with the highest ownership rate.

The history of Rolex begins in London. Today, there are around 600 watchmakers in Switzerland, many of which have been around for over 100 years. However, only a handful have continued to produce uninterrupted work. One of them is Rolex. In 1881, Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf was born in Bavaria, Germany. After losing his parents at the age of 12, he worked at Clio Conten in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, after graduating. He then found a job exporting watches to England, where he developed his business acumen and gained experience at a young age. Then, in 1903, at the age of 22, he moved to London, where two years later, in 1905, he founded Wilsdorf & Davis, the predecessor to Rolex. Five years later, in search of a "creative and easily pronounceable word for everyone in the world," the brand we all know and love today, Rolex, was named.

The company then signed a supply contract with Egler, a Swiss firm specializing in precision instrument manufacturing, to supply watch movements. In 1910, the company was awarded the highest grade in the Official Swiss Accuracy Test, and in 1914, it was awarded the highest prize at the Kew Observatory. Hans Wilsdorf's next goal was to develop a robust casing to protect the movement from dust and moisture. In 1926, with the help of the Oyster Company, he developed and patented a casing made of a hollow metal block with a screw-down crown. Thus was born the Oyster Case, synonymous with Rolex mechanics that continues to this day. The Oyster Case's capabilities became known worldwide through this soon-to-be-legendary event.

Namely, the crossing of the Strait of Dover by Miss Mercedes Gleitz, a London stenographer, in 1927. She accomplished this feat in a record time of 15 hours and 15 minutes, wearing a Rolex Oyster on her wrist. The Rolex's continued functioning under these harsh conditions demonstrated the Oyster's water-resistant properties, and this sparked the rapid development of waterproof watches throughout the watchmaking industry. With the success of the Oyster case, Rolex made its technology known worldwide, but their next step was to create a self-winding mechanism, a development of the so-called perpetual. In 1931, this watch became the first in the world to achieve a full 360-degree self-winding mechanism, successfully overcoming the previously problematic inefficiencies of automatic winding.

This watch made a significant leap in winding efficiency and further enhanced Rolex's competence. Rolex's famous Oyster case, fitted with a perpetual movement, gave birth to the Oyster Perpetual, known as the "Bubbleneck" in today's antiques market. The rotor used to wind the mainspring was mounted so that it encloses the movement, making it thicker than before. To accommodate this, the caseback bulged like a bubble, hence the name. In 1945, the Oyster Perpetual was equipped with a revolutionary new invention that gave birth to another new model, the DateJust. As its name suggests, the calendar date would change immediately when the clock struck midnight, a groundbreaking mechanism at the time. Rolex's three major inventions, the Oyster case in 1926, the Perpetual movement in 1931, and the Datejust movement in 1945, marked the completion of Rolex's vision of the practical watch.
