Not sure on your question?
If you're asking will Rolex still be a prominent brand in the future, the answer will be a definite YES!!

I'm no expert, but the Pre-owned Rolexes I've seen all say 25% off routinely, never a deeper discount than that so I'd guess yes?
But that's just a guess. I should add though that I don't know if they are Authorized Dealers or Gray Market....Just my random observation from passing random store display windows all over new york city..... |

Sorry I had few beers:)
My question is you guy that own rolex from 10/15 years, if you where going to sell a Rolex that old, would you get enough money to say" well it kept the market"? I don't know if I make sense |

5-10-15 years from now there may be no earth, let alone Rolex. Live for this moment responsibly and enjoy your trip. If a Rolex is for you now then get one. In 15 years it may be a different brand, and then, for that distant future I offer the same humble advice.

They might. They might not. Things can change....Rolex hasn't always been top dog, and they may stop being top dog at some point in the future. I guess you'll just have to ask the same question again in 15 years' time

Most people are content to wear their watches not wonder if they are/were good "investments" which they most certainly are not. If I am keeping a watch for that long I am not selling it for any reason anyway
