I was told it was a high value model and to sell it!

I brought my Rolex Submariner. Perhaps because it's located in a commercial building, their store is clean and has proper Covid-19 SOPs. When I told the staff that I'd just seen on TV that the Submariner is one of the most expensive Rolexes on the market, they told me about popular Submariner models and other items that were worth buying. They told me that my Submariner is also a high-value model, so they also thoroughly explained the Rolex market. They also served me a drink while I waited, and the price they offered was very satisfactory, so I was very happy to sell it here. Thank you for your service.

I sold my Submariner for more than I bought it for!

I heard from a friend that the Submariner I bought 20 years ago was now being sold for a very high price, so I took it in for an inspection. They handled my beloved Submarine with great care and quickly assessed the price. I decided to sell it because of the excellent service from the female staff. I will definitely use their services again with the special offer they gave me. Their refer-a-friend program is also excellent, so I will definitely recommend them to any friends who need their services. Thank you very much.

I am selling my Rolex Submariner which I received from my brother.

A few years ago, my brother told me he was going to switch to a smartwatch, so he was going to give me his Submariner, which I had been wanting for a long time. At first, I couldn't tell him I wanted one, so when I told him he was switching to a smartwatch, I casually asked him what his plans were for the Submariner, and he told me he wasn't sure about it and would probably wear it occasionally, so I gave in. Since the day he suddenly gave it to me, I've been using it ever since, but recently my coworker suggested I sell my Submariner and use the money to buy a new smartwatch. Honestly, I also wanted to switch to a smartwatch that I could check out right away during internal meetings, so I thought if only I could sell it for a high price, and had my Submariner appraised by Jewel Café, who mentioned they had a high-price purchase. Since it didn't come with any accessories, I thought I'd get a discount, but the staff told me that the Submariner is very popular and sells for a high price, so they could still charge such a high price for my case. It seems they're actually living up to the high purchase price quoted online.

My Rolex Submariner has been appraised!

I bought a Submariner because of its excellent water resistance, but over time, I've used it less and less, and for the past few years, I haven't used it except for display. Since it's also expensive to maintain, I went to Jewel Café, contemplating whether I should sell it, when I saw their brochure mentioning an upgrade for the Submariner. I was quite apprehensive because it was my first time appraising a Submarine, but the female staff member put me at ease with her friendly smile. Since I felt attached to her, I asked around while waiting in the store, but she offered me a price higher than I expected and thoroughly explained the appraised value of my Submariner. I'll visit again if necessary.

I'm selling my Submariner!

I bought my Submariner a while ago. I really like Submariners, so I buy a few pieces every time a new model is released. Lately, I haven't worn them much because they feel heavier than before, probably because I'm a little older, which is when my daughter told me about Jewel Café. I asked if I could have just my Submarine appraised, and the staff was happy to help. I originally wasn't planning on selling it, but I changed my mind after seeing the attentive handling of my Submariner and the excellent customer service. I plan to gradually clear out my Submariner collection, so I'll be visiting Jewel Café again.

I went to sell my Submariner

I've been appraising the Submariner I bought 3 years ago. Since it was expensive, I thought I'd wear it every day, but it turned out to be quite heavy and I almost got hit at work, so I stopped wearing it to the office. I don't have much free time, so I rarely wear it, and I've been storing it without repairing it, so I thought I'd sell it. I was planning to find a buyer, but they offered me my asking price, so I decided to sell it here. I'll be buying another Submariner from my dad soon, and I'll use their services again when I do! They're knowledgeable about Submariners, so I feel confident selling it. Their service and price are excellent.

I am selling my used Submariner

I was selling a used Submariner that I bought 30 years ago. I didn't have the warranty card or the box, and the watch had deep scratches, so I went to the store just to see how much it would cost. As I passed Jewel Cafe, I remembered a poster saying they would buy broken Rolexes, so I asked if they would buy my broken Submariner. Despite the crack on the edge of the windshield, I was still able to sell it for three times the purchase price because the price of older models has skyrocketed! Honestly, I was very surprised, but the appraiser was very professional in his service, so I was able to sell it without any worries. If you're looking to sell your Submariner, I recommend Jewel Cafe.

I sold my Submariner to fund my overseas travels.

Thank you for buying my Submariner at a great price! I received my Submariner from my father 3 years ago, but since I wasn't interested in watches, I just kept it on display. However, I recently wanted to travel abroad, so I thought about selling it to finance my trip. But I didn't know how to choose a good specialty store, so I checked out several stores I found online. Jewel Café was the second store I visited, but they changed my impression of this kind of store with their friendly attitude. Not only about the watch, they were also very attentive during the conversation about me and their handling was very professional, so I decided to sell my watch to them, and I will definitely recommend them to my friends who need it.

Ways to sell Rolex Submariner
at a higher price

How to Sell Rolex Submariner 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 Submariner 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 the Submariner purchase

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 Tests, 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 mechanical Rolexes that has survived to this day.

The Oyster Case's capabilities became known worldwide through an event that would soon become legendary: the crossing of the Strait of Dover by Miss Mercedes Gleitz, a London stenographer, in 1927. She achieved this feat in a record 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-resistance capabilities, sparking a rapid development of waterproof watches across 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 world's first watch to achieve a full 360-degree self-winding mechanism, 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 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.
