There’s a deep Rolex back catalog of interesting pieces that will show up in CPO. This is where the value lies.
I don't think this is an extreme example.

They are selling the blue Skydweller for $30k...

Or a 16520 stainless Daytona for $33.5....

Expect to pay around 1/3 over "market price" for CPO, regardless of the model.

Rolex CPO doesn't have exclusivity over "interesting pieces" as you say. There is nothing you can buy from CPO that you cant get elsewhere.

They simply sell what is being traded in and they are taking customers for idiots for even contemplating paying these kind of prices.
