Is it really worth buying pre-loved..........

[Chipmunk]

if the price difference is $500 or less? I bought a BNIB random serial 16610 last year for $5.5k and now I'm

seeing Mint 16610 V serial selling for $5.8k. I also purchased a pre-loved D serial 16710 (Pepsi) a year ago and

now I see the same watch selling for $300-400 more. The new 42mm ExpII is currently priced @ $7750. Do you see

this watch selling for less than it's current price 3-4years from now? A lot of people are saying to buy pre-loved but

I believe BNIB is the way to go unless you are buying an old/beat up Rolex that is ridiculously under priced.

Let me hear your thoughts, gentlemen!
