Why the Rolex Submariner Remains the Ultimate Used Luxury Watch in 2025
When it comes to iconic timepieces, few watches hold a candle to the Rolex Submariner. A favourite among divers, collectors, and style-conscious professionals, the Submariner is a mainstay in the world of used luxury watches. In this post, we explore why it’s still the watch to own in 2025 - and why buying one used might be your smartest move yet.
The Rolex Submariner: A Timeless Classic
Originally introduced in 1953, the Submariner was the first watch to be waterproof to 100 metres. Today, it’s as much a status symbol as it is a tool watch - beloved for its clean lines, durability, and unmistakable style. It remains one of the most coveted luxury dive watches on the market.
Why Buying a Used Rolex Submariner Makes Sense
The Submariner holds its value incredibly well, and in many cases, appreciates over time. A pre-owned Rolex Submariner offers the same luxury appeal at a more accessible price - and thanks to its legendary build quality, even vintage models look and perform like new.
