Buyer's guide

How to buy a pre-owned Rolex on 47th Street

Which Rolex, what size and metal, and what papers to ask for before a final sale

Start with a Datejust. It is the everyday Rolex, and it is the model people buy most from us. Take the 36 on a slim wrist. A bigger wrist wears the 41. Steel or two-tone suits nearly everyone. Then read what comes with the watch, the card, the papers or the watch alone. Every watch is final sale, so put every question to the desk before you pay.

Models: Datejust, Day-Date, GMT-Master II, Submariner and Daytona

Buy a Datejust for your first Rolex. It is the everyday watch, and it took about half of the year's Rolex money here. Women shop it on women's Datejust, beside the smaller Lady-Datejust.

The Day-Date spells out the day and comes only in gold. The GMT-Master II keeps a second time zone, and its nicknames name the bezel colors. Pepsi is red and blue, Bruce Wayne black and grey. The Submariner is the dive watch. Daytonas are few, so see men's Rolex for the rest.

Size: Datejust 36 or 41, and the women's 26, 28 and 31 mm

Take the 36 on a wrist under about 7 inches. Above that, the 41 fills the wrist and reads modern. The 36 is the size our buyers chose most, about half the pieces.

The sport models run 40 or 41 mm. The older Lady-Datejust is 26 mm. The current one is 28 mm. The mid-size is 31 mm. Every title gives the case size. A bracelet is fitted by adding or taking out links, so ask the desk whether we fit it before it ships.

Metal and bracelet: steel, two-tone or gold, Jubilee, Oyster or President

Take steel or two-tone. Nearly every watch here is one or the other, and buyers spent about evenly on the two. Two-tone, Rolesor to Rolex, is steel with gold on the bezel and center links, and that gold scratches sooner. Solid gold is about one in eight here. Everose is Rolex's rose gold.

The Jubilee bracelet drapes like a dress watch. The Oyster is flatter and sportier. The President, with its hidden clasp, belongs to the Day-Date. A fluted bezel is always gold on a modern Rolex.

Papers and reference: box, card, full set and the reference number

Read what the description says about the card and papers first. About six in ten here come with the Rolex card or papers, and on most the box is an add-on. The card shows the serial and the dealer who sold the watch new, a paper trail and not proof.

The reference is the model number, printed on nearly every listing. Its last pair of digits usually tells the metal and the bezel. The 16233 is the older two-tone Datejust, the reference we sell most.

Buying: final sale, authentication, diamonds and insured shipping

Every watch here is final sale, so ask before you pay. The watch team checked each one in person, and Trax stands behind the sale himself. The AI Trax video on this page says the rest.

Rolex sets some diamonds at the factory, and our setters on 47th Street set others as custom work. They look alike on the wrist, so ask which you are getting. Every Rolex ships insured, usually in two to five business days when it is in stock. For a model we do not show, the desk sources it through the trade.

Every count on this card is from the 254 pieces live here on October 2, 2026 and what this page sold in the year to September 26, 2026; prices are on the listings. Of the 254, 135 were in stock that day.

Questions we get in the store

Which Rolex should I buy first?

A Datejust. It is the everyday Rolex and the model our buyers took most, about two in three of the pieces sold in the year. Get it in steel or two-tone, on a Jubilee or an Oyster bracelet, and choose the size by your wrist.

Should I get a Datejust 36 or a Datejust 41?

Get the 36 if your wrist is under about 7 inches. Get the 41 if it is bigger. The 36 is the classic size and the one bought most here. You find it on both the men's and women's Datejust pages.

Is it safe to buy a pre-owned Rolex online?

Only from a seller who checks every watch in person, and our watch team checked each one here. Fakes are good now, so a photo proves little. Nearly every listing has a video of that exact watch, and the desk answers the rest.

More questions we get

Can I return a pre-owned Rolex?

No, watches are final sale, and the store's refund policy names them as non-returnable. So ask first. Confirm the reference, the size and the papers, then ask in live chat or send the desk a text before you pay; on 212-872-9692 a person reads texts from 10 AM ET.

What do box, card and papers mean on a Rolex?

The card is the Rolex warranty card, papers are the older paper certificate, and a full set adds the box, booklets and tags. About six in ten watches here come with card or papers. The box is an add-on on most.

Two-tone or steel Rolex: which should I get?

Take steel for daily wear without a second thought, or two-tone for gold on the bezel and the center links. Our buyers spent about evenly on the two. Two-tone wears lighter than solid gold, though its gold scratches sooner than the steel.

Are the diamonds on a Rolex factory-set or aftermarket?

It depends on the watch, so ask us. Rolex sets diamonds at the factory on some references, and a jeweler can add them later. Some listings say the setting is aftermarket.

Can you find a Rolex you do not have listed?

Yes, the desk sources watches through the trade. Send the model, the size and the dial you want on the live chat, or put them in a text to 212-872-9692; a person is on that number from 10 AM ET. How long it takes depends on the watch, so ask when you send the request.

About this collection
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Buying a Used or Pre-Owned Rolex on 47th Street, NYC

What each listing tells you

The title reads model, case size, metal and dial, and most listings add the reference number and the year, so two watches compare side by side. The description says what comes with the watch: the Rolex card or papers where we have them, and the box, which is often an add-on. When a dial or bezel was set with diamonds after the watch left Rolex, look for the words aftermarket or iced out in the listing, and ask us about any dial before you buy.

  • Condition: every watch on this page is pre-owned.
  • Years: older references and current ones, with the year stated on most listings.
  • Two-tone: Oystersteel with 18K yellow gold or with Everose, Rolex's rose gold.
  • Bracelets: the Oyster, the five-link Jubilee, and the President on the gold Day-Date.
  • Diamonds: diamond dials and bezels on some watches; ask us which were set after the watch left Rolex.

How much does a used Rolex cost?

It depends on the model, the metal, the dial and the year, and on whether the card or papers come with it. Each listing shows its own price, so compare two watches of the same reference. Our guide to buying a pre-owned Rolex walks through what moves the price.

Is TraxNYC an authorized Rolex dealer?

No. TraxNYC is an independent jeweler on 47th Street selling pre-owned watches, and is not affiliated with Rolex. Before you buy, read how to tell if a Rolex is real and ask us for a video of the watch.

Which Rolex should I buy first?

The Datejust, if it is one watch for everything; the Submariner or the GMT-Master II for sport; the Day-Date if it has to be gold. Rolex models explained covers the lines, the sizes and the bracelets, and Rolex nicknames decodes Batman, Pepsi and the rest.

Can I see the watch before I buy?

Yes. Ask for a video of any watch in stock, or see it at our jewelry store at 64 W 47th St: text or call first and tell us which watch you want to see. The showroom page has the hours.

What if the Rolex I want is not here?

Text us the reference. Start a chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692; a person answers from 10 AM ET.
