The criteria that move the offer

  • Date or no-date: the no-date version stays more confidential, the date version is more liquid;
  • Cerachrom bezel (post-2010) versus the aluminium bezel of earlier series;
  • Original dial, with no aggressive repolishing of the case;
  • Complete full set, with the warranty card in the seller's name;
  • Complete bracelet with all its links.

Frequently asked questions

What is the buy-back price of a Rolex Submariner?

Depending on version and condition, the professional buy-back ranges observed run from €5,750 to €11,500. A recent Submariner Date in excellent condition with its full set sits at the top of the range.

Do the papers increase the buy-back value?

Yes. Box, warranty card and original invoice commonly add 5 to 10% to the final offer, because they secure the dealer's resale.

Should I have my Submariner serviced before selling it?

It is rarely worth it: the dealer factors the service cost into their price, usually at a lower rate than you would pay.

How much does the Ligokero service cost?

The introduction is free. A 10% commission is charged only if a sale is actually completed.
