There are many reasons to buy a pre-owned Rolex instead of a new Rolex. First, you can find all models currently in production and sold out at retailers. While you will almost certainly have to pay a premium to skip the line and get one today, many believe that the instant availability is well worth the extra cost. 
In addition, not only will you have access to all currently produced models, but you can also choose from all discontinued and vintage models in the replica Rolex archives. Remember that Rolex only sells brand new watches at its authorized retailers and boutiques, so if you want an older model or a vintage Rolex reference for a huge collector, the secondary market will be your only option.
It is also important to note that the cheapest Rolex watches will be found on the pre-owned market. At retail, the cheapest Rolex models cost at least $5,000 to $6,000, but when it comes to pre-owned fake Rolex watches, older discontinued models cost about half that. If you’re on a budget, the used market is easily your best bet, as it will offer the most comprehensive selection and the lowest prices.
Finally, a used watch does not mean it will be old and beaten up. In many cases, you will find completely unworn Rolex watches on the second-hand market that their original owners sold because they knew they could make a considerable profit by selling them to a used dealer. For example, if you are lucky enough to get a stainless steel copy Rolex Daytona at retail price, you can turn around immediately, sell it, and make more than double the profit in the process. In addition, watches can always be restored and repaired, so many previously vintage watches have been fully restored to their original factory specifications before being sold on the used market.
