I actually find the CPO to be extremely useful.

1) I know for a fact that my watch hasn’t been stolen. Your “trusted” sellers have no clue. They cannot verify whether a watch has been stolen or not, as they do not have access to Rolex’s stolen registry.

2) It comes fully serviced from Rolex. For me, this is great!

3) It will have received a full RSC polish. Again, for me this is great. I’ve seen some absolutely horrible polish jobs in the past, some of which were sold by “trusted” sellers. Some at discounts, some not.

4) Nice touch to have a CPO receipt.

At the end of the day, it’s just money. I’d spend an additional $5k to eliminate any concerns around authenticity, ownership, and workmanship of the mechanism and appearance. All that alone is worth some extra $.

Ultimately, however, Rolex hype has turned me off to Rolex completely. No purchases on the horizon. But if there were, I’d check out CPO before buying.
