Rolex historically has held their resale value pretty well and I’m sure Rolex will do everything they can to maintain that as it’s a very important part of the brands prestige. Usually, if one buys a non Rolex preowned, then you’ll probably break even as someone else took the initial hit. The GS was an impulse buy for my. I learned a very valuable lesson though. Only buy Rolex new…everything else pre owned.
Agree with you there. I have a couple of used Omega's. Fantastic watches but I would rather let someone else take the depreciation hit.
