$4,000 – $50,000+
Entry models like the Oyster Perpetual anchor the bottom; steel sports models (Submariner, Daytona, GMT) top the range and can exceed retail.
Around $4,000 USD — a practical starting point when speed matters.
$4,000 – $50,000+ for ordinary used examples.
Up to about $50,000 USD for complete, well-presented examples.
Steel sports models (Daytona, Submariner, GMT-Master) command the biggest premiums. The exact reference number matters.
A 'full set' with original box, papers, and warranty card sells for a clear premium over a watch head alone.
Original, unpolished cases and recent service history reassure buyers. Aftermarket parts reduce value.
Compare local offers on Facebook Marketplace with broader buyer demand on eBay, or use local classifieds where available. Specialist dealers, auction houses, trade-in services, or collectors may suit rare or category-specific items. Fees, shipping, payment risk, and convenience can change the amount you keep.
