Are Rolex AD's allowed to sell used

I have not been to enough ADs to even be able to guess...

Do Rolex ADs sell pre-owned watches?

TIA

Sure. Quite a few have pre-owned cases.

Yes. My AD has two stores.

One sells preowned one sells brand new. They sure know how to get money from both ends of the spectrum.

Pretty common. And a good way for many here to flip their watches for a new one.

The AD where I work does. We have them in a separate case and clearly marked as pre-owned.

Sure. But they tend to keep the desired ones off the shelf with my experience.

Sure - it's a great way to upgrade/trade out if you want something different.

some do and are allowed to.

and all should as many potential deals are lost due to no trade up options on the spot.

Yes, and sometimes for more than MSRP--for example, used current production Daytonas at Tourneau.
