Frequently Asked Questions

Which Submariner reference is the best buy?

For everyday wear, the 124060 (no-date ceramic) and 126610LN (date ceramic) offer the best balance of design, durability, and resale value. The 116610LV “Hulk” and 116610LN are discontinued ceramic-bezel references that have appreciated steadily. Vintage 5513 and 14060 carry collector premium and require full provenance.

Is the Submariner Hulk a good investment?

The 116610LV Hulk has appreciated meaningfully since discontinuation in 2020. It remains one of the most-traded green-dial sport Rolex references. We track Chrono24 and auction comps daily — ask for current valuation guidance.

Do you carry vintage Submariners?

Yes. We selectively stock pre-1990 5-digit and 4-digit references with verified provenance. Vintage Submariners require full original-component verification (dial, hands, bezel insert, bracelet, crown) and are priced accordingly. Walk-throughs available on request.

Can I trade my Submariner toward another piece?

Yes. Trade-in credit toward any in-stock Palazzo Watches & Gems reference, with typical premium of 5–10% over our standalone purchase offer plus zero authentication fees.

Do all Submariners come with box and papers?

Most modern ceramic-bezel references in our inventory ship with full sets (box + papers + extra links). Vintage and watch-only configurations are clearly disclosed in the listing.

How long is the warranty on a pre-owned Submariner?

Lifetime movement warranty for first-time Palazzo Watches & Gems clients — we cover the movement for as long as you own the watch.
