You have your heart set on becoming a Rolex watch owner. Recently, you’ve come across several different pre-owned watches that have piqued your interest. Now it’s time to decide which one would work best. Consider these five factors and how they relate to your lifestyle. After thinking about each of these, settling on the right watch will be easy.

Something to Wear on Special Occasions

There are times when you need to dress up, such as when attending a wedding reception or some type of formal ball. On those occasions, the watch you wear every day simply won’t do. You need something that’s in keeping with the elegant figure that you plan to cut for the night.

If one of the watches you’ve been considering used Rolex Milgauss that’s the way to go. There are two models to choose from, but either one will work well with formal wear. There’s also a little bit of fun involved, since this model comes with a second hand shaped like a small lightning bolt.

A Watch for Everyday Wear

In your case, the plan is to wear the Rolex every day. It’s not so much about impressing people although you do enjoy receiving positive comments about your choice of watch. For you, it’s a symbol of how far you’ve come and how nice it is to own something that speaks of quality. In this scenario, focus your attention on Rolex designs that are simple, attractive, and include features that you will put to use on a regular basis.

Dressing for Success

If your line of work requires meeting with clients on a regular basis, looking like a successful businessperson is a must. Along with making sure your attire fits properly and has the quality to project the right look, select a watch design that conveys the depth of your competence, expertise, and ability. A classic Rolex style with a simple white or black face will do the job nicely.

You Travel a Lot

Whether for business or pleasure, you travel quite a bit. That means crossing time zones on a regular basis. You may find that investing in a pre-owned Rolex Sky Dweller is a good idea. The styling is great in any case, but there’s a feature that could be quite helpful: a second time zone display found on the off center disc in the dial design.

The Watch Looks and Feels Right to You

While you can go back and forth about different color options for the dial, the type finish, and even the layout of the dial itself, there are two final factors to consider: how the watch looks on your wrist and the level of comfort that it provides.

When you put on the watch, does the weight feel good to your wrist? Is the band comfortable, or will it be comfortable with a minor adjustment? In terms of appearance, does the scale seem to be in line with the size and contours of your wrist and hand? If the answers to these questions happen to be yes, there’s no need to search any further.

Remember that purchasing a used Rolex is a little different from purchasing a watch from a general retailer. Along with function, that Rolex is also an investment. It’s not unusual for Rolex watches to remain valuable for decades. Should you decide to sell it in the future, there’s the possibility of recouping all or at least most of your original investment.

Take your time, make sure you know what is and is not important to you, then select the design accordingly. Doing so will ensure that you’re happy with the watch for a long time.
