The pre-owned market has never scared me. Given the current horological climate, buying Rolex in the secondary space has become all but a necessity. For me, the bigger deal was the gravity of what the purchase represented. After all, this wasn’t just any watch, this was the watch. The one I’d been chasing nearly my entire time in this hobby. Would buying my first luxury watch feel, well, less-than-luxurious without all the pomp and circumstance of a boutique visit?
