I am helping a friend look for a used Datejust right now. He made a comment to me that it appears most of the used Rolexes he comes across are credited as being manufactured in 2007. I am not sure that he has influenced me to be more cognizant of this, but it does appear that disproportionately more available used Rolexes are credited as 2007 model years.

Does anyone else find this to be true and if it is, why would this be?

No, I don't find that true at all.

Perhaps your friend is only looking at a particular variant that was made around that year.

My point is, it seems that the market is flooded with Rolex from 2007. Would anyone else find that to be true, and if so, why would that be the case?

That can't be true..

lecorsaire · 11 February 2018, 10:04 AM

This just isn’t true. Depending on the model some years are over represented on Chrono24 but this is random IMO.

Don’t think this is true but maybe the 10 year mark is time for service??? I reaching for an answer her.

Maybe but watches aren’t like cars where people want to get rid of them after 3 years and definitely before they reach 80-100k on the odometer. Service is relatively cheap.

Watches are not like vehicles. The year made or sold makes little difference and with random serial numbers nobody knows when it was born.
