Buy a Rolex without the waiting list

Yes. We do not go through the retailer's interest list. We source the reference through our network, confirm what is realistic on availability and timing for your request, and set out the individual watch in writing before you commit.

An unworn watch has never been worn, but it has been sold before, so it comes from a private or trade seller rather than the retailer. The guarantee runs from the date on its card. Tell us if unworn matters to you; it narrows the search.

Yes. The previous Daytona generation looks close to the current one and can be easier to find. If it does not matter which generation you end up with, say so: it widens the search and usually shortens the wait.

Tell us if a full set matters and we search on that basis. What accompanies the watch is confirmed for the individual piece and listed in writing before you decide.

Rolex. It is the most counterfeited watch brand, and the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master II are the most copied models, because they are the most recognised and the most wanted. The best fakes now copy the dial, the case back, the box and the papers, so the checks that count are on the movement, the serial and the seller, not on how the watch looks in a photograph.

Check the seller before the watch. Buy from an established dealer with a trading address and a history you can verify; ask for the serial, the year and photographs of the individual watch, not stock images; have it checked by a watchmaker or a Rolex service centre before the sale is final; and never send an irreversible payment to someone you cannot identify before the watch is agreed in writing. A price well below the market for that reference is the commonest sign of a scam.

At an official retailer, as for any purchase. Pre-owned or sourced, by bank transfer to a business account in the dealer's own name, and only once the individual watch is described in writing: reference, serial, condition and what comes with it. A card gives you a chargeback but many dealers limit card payments at this price; cash leaves no record and is best avoided. We accept bank transfer in any major currency or crypto, and only once the watch is agreed.

Yes. We source the Rolex to your brief and accept Bitcoin alongside Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins. We are based in London and work with clients worldwide. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer, and only once the individual watch is agreed.

Rolex sells new watches through its official retailers rather than to the public directly, and each retailer sets its own payment terms. Buying a Rolex with Bitcoin therefore means a dealer that takes crypto, or a watch sourced for you and settled in crypto, which is what we do.

The price is agreed for the individual watch, then the crypto amount and its exchange-rate basis are confirmed in the payment instructions. The checks on the watch itself do not change. A blockchain transfer records the payment; it says nothing about the watch.
