Customization
Custom Rolex
One of the most alluring reasons to purchase a pre-owned Rolex is the potential for customization. While new Rolexes offer a variety stylistic choices that can only go so far. Sometimes Rolex owners want to push the concept of “luxury timepiece” to its limits, with diamond-studded bezels, diamond-studded dials, or even diamond-studded bracelets. Uniquely engraved or designed dials are a popular form of customization, with some presenting messages or patterns. Other customizations take a minimalist approach, such as a flat dial and bezel, or matte black finish.
Customization
The possibilities for customization are endless. However, customization also carries some risk: because Rolex does not offer official Rolex parts for customization, all customizations are performed with non-Rolex parts, which can potentially result in lesser-quality work. Diamond-studded bezels look great, unless the diamonds fall out. When it comes to having customization work performed, or purchasing a customized Rolex, buyers must be careful. Moreover, customization is only desirable in so far as the work is superficial; while it is perfectly fine to have high-quality non-Rolex parts on the outside of a Rolex, if non-Rolex parts are used to replace mechanical components inside the watch’s movement, the watch is no longer a true Rolex and runs a high risk of permanently breaking. It also loses all value beyond that of its materials.
