TOP 5 ROLEX WATCHES TO INVEST IN FOR 2023

The cost of Rolex watches has been interesting this year. Many references' prices started to fall after the first quarter of 2022. Some people started using the term "price correction" after a period of relentless hype. After all, some Rolex timepieces are still twice as expensive as they were when they were first sold.

It's also uncertain whether buying a Rolex would still be profitable given the lower expenses. As I've always said, making large money with watches is often a waiting game. Given the status of the market, there are also no guarantees at all. Yet, we've discovered five Rolex models whose prices could rise in the future.

ROLEX GMT-MASTER II Reference Number: 16710

The last item on my list of likely sensible investments from the previous year was the famed Rolex GMT-Master ref 1675. Throughout the previous year, the cost of this reference has gone up. The admiration has been astonishing, especially in recent months. I wish to begin this new list with the modern rendition of this old clock.

SUBMARINER ROLEX REFERENCE 16610

The next timepiece is a Rolex Submariner, which I have already covered in this series of posts. It's simple to add it again when you consider what you get for your money and its great potential for value growth: the gorgeous Rolex Submariner ref. 16610. The ref. 16610 is a good price, especially when compared to modern Submariners with ceramic bezels.

Permit me to restate the features that make this watch such a great option. The Submariner ref. 16610 was manufactured from 1988 until 2010. Over the course of these 20 years, Rolex developed a number of small advancements. One of the most important was the switch from tritium lume to LumiNova and then Super-LumiNova in the late 1990s.

ROLEX DATEJUST REFERENCE 16234

Moving on to the Rolex Datejust, we're still talking about watches that cost less than $100. The Datejust is a popular entry point into the Rolex universe and a fantastic watch for practically any circumstance. The Datejust works well in both casual and formal settings.

This Datejust release was a shift in the style because it maintained the vintage appearance of the model while still including a sapphire crystal. The addition of bigger lugs in later models of the Datejust completely altered the device's beautiful appearance. Each one of them offers a retro-styled clock along with more contemporary features like a sapphire crystal and 3135 calibers. This is a fantastic decision that will undoubtedly gain favor over time.

THE 16570 ROLEX EXPLORER II REFERENCE

An earlier list of timepieces that might increase in value also featured the Rolex Explorer II ref 16570. So, this can be a great option if you plan to wear the watch and watch to see if its value increases over time. This is going to be the case since it is the last 40-mm Explorer II.

Rolex produced the Explorer II ref 16570 for a total of 22 years before the new, larger Explorer II model 216570 debuted in 2011. Either a black dial or a white "polar" dial was available for this watch. This model now has black hour markers instead of the white gold ones that were formerly used by Rolex, which really stand out against the white background.

THE 1655 ROLEX EXPLORER II REFERENCE

The first iteration of the Rolex Explorer II is the final Rolex Explorer II on this list. Despite the fact that the renowned actor was never seen wearing it, the watch falsely bears the name "Steve McQueen." Whatever the case, it's a superb timepiece that deserves all the attention it gets. The timepiece was a symbol of Rolex's development in the Explorer watch line.

When it was first made available in 1971, the ref. 1655 was designed with speleologists and other cave explorers in mind. With a 24-hour bezel and an extra hand to show the time on a 24-hour scale, the watch's distinctive design distinguished it from other Explorer watches. Rolex added this scale to the huge orange hand.

Even though a second scale can be confusing, these design quirks are typically highly regarded in the world of Rolex. I appreciate the dial's appearance because it provides something distinctive in addition to GMT performance.
