Which Rolex watches does The Timeless Collector buy?
The Timeless Collector buys Rolex across the line, current and discontinued: Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master II, Datejust, Day-Date, Oyster Perpetual, Explorer, Sea-Dweller, Sky-Dweller and Yacht-Master. Steel, Rolesor, gold and platinum are all considered. We also buy Omega, Tudor and Cartier.
Do you need the box and papers to sell a Rolex?
No. The Timeless Collector buys Rolex watches with or without box and papers. A full set usually supports a stronger offer, because the papers tie the watch to its original sale. If you have the box, the warranty card or certificate, service receipts or spare links, mention them in the form and include them when you ship.
What affects the offer on a Rolex?
The offer on a Rolex depends on the reference and the metal, then on the year, the condition, and whether the box and papers come with it. Market demand for that specific reference matters too. A discontinued reference like the Hulk Submariner or the 116500LN Daytona is valued on its own supply. Offers are based on market data, so they move as the market moves.
What photos should you send?
Clear photos help us make an accurate offer the first time. Useful shots include the dial straight on, both sides of the case, the caseback, the clasp and bracelet, and the box and papers if you have them. Natural light without a flash shows the condition most honestly.
How is the watch shipped?
Once you accept the offer, The Timeless Collector sends a prepaid, insured overnight shipping label. You pack the watch, attach the label and send it. You don't pay for shipping, and the watch is insured in transit.
Can you sell your Rolex in person in Miami?
Yes. You can bring your Rolex to our office at Suite 429, Seybold Jewelry Building, 36 NE 1st St, Miami, by appointment. The office is open Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM. Arrange a time in advance by phone, text, email or the online form. More on selling locally is on our sell your Rolex in Miami page.
Should you sell outright or trade in?
If you're buying another watch, you can put your Rolex toward it as a trade-in instead of selling outright. Tell us which watch you're after when you send your details, whether it's listed in the Rolex collection or one we'd source for you. How the offer is worked out is explained in how our valuation process works.
