I've tried a few this morning without any luck. I assume you randomly selected them?

What I did was start with the ones closest then work your way through the official list of dealers.

Ive had 2 preowned Rolex watches from watchfinder in the UK....a sub and a Datejust.....14060M, 116200.....both watches arrived in beautiful condition and arrived next day....come with 1 year warranty....you'll need to ask if the watch has been serviced as they don't service all he watches.....They're very honest and will give the history of where it came from before them. I'd go back to them no problem if I wanted another preowned watch.

I have dealt with Watchfinder, I have dealt with Rolex ADs. No contest...an AD every time. Just be a little patient. Do it right.

One of the benefits of buying through Watchfinder is that they will offer you a buy back guarantee after 2 years at the same price you bought it at subject to its condition.

Buy Back Guarantee

Purchase with confidence with our Buy Back Guarantee, fixing the value of your watch with our promise to offer you the same price you paid should you decide to sell it back to us after two years. Not only that, but we’ll also extend the warranty of Buy Back watches to cover those two years, avoiding depreciation and giving you added peace of mind. To enquire about benefiting from our Buy Back Guarantee, contact us to speak to one of our sales advisers.

Don't waste your time with these people if buying ceramic. Used prices are close to new. Be patient your AD will soon have one.
