I brought my beloved Day-Date after seeing the brochure.

I've known about Jewel Cafe for a while, but this is my first time using their service. I received a brochure from Jewel Cafe a few days ago. My wife saw it and asked me to sell my Day-Date since I don't use it. Since I'd never thought about selling it, I brought my Day-Date just to see what it cost. Since I barely wear it, it rarely needs repairs, but I was surprised to find a pretty good deal. They told me they were running a 20,000 yen cashback campaign. I was hesitant to sell it since I worked so hard to afford it, but considering the future maintenance costs, I decided to sell it in the end. I'll use their services again if needed.

I sold the first Day-Date I ever bought

My father is a watch enthusiast and collects many brands. He has so many that he has more unused watches than worn ones. He's more interested in watches, so I've been checking out his watches since I was a kid, and I fell in love with them. The first watch I ever bought was a Day-Date. When I bought one, I wanted another. I think I inherited this trait from my father. I just realized I have quite a few watches. However, I had to move abroad for work, so I was thinking about selling some of my watches. My friend told me that Jewel Café could buy my unwanted watches. I've had a long history with specialty stores, but I had a very bad experience with someone who didn't even know my Day-Date. He appraised my watch and treated my precious watch very rudely! When I told my friend about this, he said that wouldn't happen at Jewel Café, so I decided to just appraise my watch. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the Day-Date, which impressed me as a watch enthusiast. I have no complaints, even with the price they offered. I'll definitely be bringing my other watches, too.

They bought my broken Day-Date

A few months ago, I accidentally dropped and broke a Day-Date I'd purchased several years earlier. I felt attached to it because it was the first watch I'd ever bought myself, and I was thinking about getting it repaired. However, I learned about Jewel Café from a flyer that mentioned high-value Rolex purchases, and the Day-Date was one of the items listed, so I decided to have my Day-Date appraised. When I entered the store, the atmosphere was different than I'd expected, and the staff was very cheerful and friendly. I was thrilled when she told me my broken Day-Date was being "valued," and she was very kind to me. I was offered a higher price than I expected for my Day-Date, so I decided to sell it! Now I can think about what kind of new watch to buy thanks to their buying service. I'll use their service again when I have something to sell.

I sold my Day-Date for a higher price than a few years ago.

I heard Rolex prices were skyrocketing, so I took my Day-Date to Jewel Café. A few years ago, I had my Day-Date appraised by another store, so this was my second time. I was thrilled with the price, and I got a price that exceeded my expectations! The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made me feel at ease during the appraisal. I'm glad I didn't sell my Day-Date a few years ago.

I went to sell my Day-Date

Thank you for your help in selling my Day-Date. I'm selling two of my Day-Dates because I really want the newer models with diamond buckets on the meteorite dial. I inherited one of the Day-Dates from my father, but even though the bracelet was in poor condition, I was still able to sell it for a price that exceeded my expectations. The other is a pink gold Day-Date that I bought 3 years ago, because it was so popular that the staff worked very hard during the appraisal. Their prices and service are excellent. I will visit them again when I need to sell it. Thank you very much.

I sold the Day-Date my dad gave me.

I've been studying for a certain certification, and I finally passed recently! As a gift, my dad gave me his Day-Date. I've always wanted a Rolex, but the Day-Date was too big for me and too simple in design. So, I asked my dad, and he said I could sell it to buy a Rolex I liked, so I took it to Jewel Café, where I'd sold my bag before. Since it was a watch, it took a little longer to appraise it, but like last time, they appraised it favorably. Not only was I happy that they listened to my story about this precious Day-Date from my dad and my certification, I was also satisfied with the appraisal value and was able to use it as part of my fund for a new watch. I'll visit again if there are other items for sale.

I'm selling a Day-Date that I bought a long time ago

I was considering giving the Day-Date I bought 20 years ago to my son while I was packing up, but he wasn't interested in watches, so I asked the kind staff member what to do with it and decided to give it to him. Luckily, gold prices were skyrocketing, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a better price than I expected for the Day-Date! It was a pleasure talking to him during the appraisal, and I was very satisfied with their service. Thank you very much, and I will use their services again.

I am selling my husband's favorite Day-Date

My late husband loved watches, and while I was sorting through his belongings, I came across several designer watches. I saw a poster at the Jewel Café in a nearby shopping mall offering to buy watches, so I decided to take them. When I had the watches appraised, one of them was a Rolex Day-Date, and I was shocked at how expensive it was. Now I know why my husband loved it and wore it for so many years. I feel much better that they were able to purchase this Day-Date. I'm sure my husband is happy to know his Day-Date is worth so much. Thank you for your service.

Ways to sell Rolex Day-Date
at a higher price

How to Sell Rolex Day-Date 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 Day-Date 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.

About Day-Date Purchases

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 Swiss Official 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 case to protect the movement from dust and moisture. In 1926, with the help of the Oyster Company, he developed and patented a case made of a hollow metal block with a screw-down crown. Thus was born the Oyster Case, synonymous with Rolex mechanics that has survived to this day. The Oyster Case's capabilities became known worldwide through a soon-to-be-legendary event: Miss Mercedes Gleitz, a London stenographer, crossed the Strait of Dover in 1927.

She achieved this feat with a time of 15 hours and 15 minutes, wearing a Rolex Oyster on her wrist. The Rolex's continued performance under these harsh conditions demonstrated the Oyster Case's water-resistant capabilities, and this sparked a 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, it became the first watch in the world to achieve a full 360-degree self-winding mechanism, successfully overcoming the previously problematic inefficiencies of automatic winding. This marked a major leap forward in winding efficiency and further enhanced Rolex's competence.

Rolex's famous Oyster case, fitted with this 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 swelled 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 at midnight, a groundbreaking mechanism at the time. Three major Rolex 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.
