{GUIDE} How To Start Flipping Watches For Profit

Also, I wouldn't recommend flipping Rolexes for any beginners because of fakes. Rolex watches are the most faked/cloned watches and even watch experts have a hard time telling if a Rolex is fake (without opening the machines).

What about getting an Oyster from your local AD?

I know you need to be in the line for a turquoise oyster but they are selling for $6k and go +$25k in the aftermarket (considering it's full set fresh from an official AD).

In Chrono24 they are currently marked 2 x the price but these are years old already.

Buying brand-new Rolexes from any AD is pretty hard.

Oysters are a no-go (for reselling) unless it's turquoise like you said.
Otherwise, buying Oysters or Tudors (owned by Rolex) is often just considered a stepping stone for getting bumped in the waitlists for the more premium models (Datejusts, etc).

I mean, if you have the connections to buy the more premium models or the turquoise Oyster, then absolutely go for it. It would be dumb not to take that kind of chance, but unless you have pre-existing connections to ADs, it's highly unlikely you will get one without waiting for several years.
