The Rolex Sea-Dweller, boasting waterproof capabilities 1,200 metres below the sea, is the ultimate diver’s watch, developed for professional divers exploring the depths. The Sea-Dweller debuted in 1967 with a waterproof depth of 610 metres, surpassing the Submariner with its waterproof depth of 300 metres.

The Sea-Dweller’s greatest innovation is its helium release valve, which Rolex developed alongside French diving company COMEX for several decades. The challenge of creating a deep-sea watch lay in the helium that would inevitably infiltrate the watch’s interior during dives. Saturation diving involves divers consuming helium gas beforehand to prevent abnormalities within the body when transitioning from high pressure to atmospheric pressure. However, the gas would also enter the diver’s watch, pressurising the watch case and causing it to burst. After years of research, the joint collaboration stumbled upon the idea of a helium release valve, leading to the completion of the Sea-Dweller’s design.

Modern models like the Sea-Dweller 4000 can withstand depths of 1,220 metres, while Deepsea models are waterproof at a staggering 3,900 metres. These watches are designed with close attention to detail, with features like a unidirectional rotating bezel, able to precisely measure dive time and decompression stops and enable operation while wearing gloves.

The Sea-Dweller was born to conquer to deep seas. Rare models of Sea-Dweller, including Double-Name, featuring its joint creator COMEX, and the distinctive Red Seed, with its logo printed in red on the watch face, have become a legend among collectors and the subject of endless conversation.

At ALLU, we buy various Rolex items, such as the Sea-Dweller, at high prices. Our experienced Value Designers provide highly accurate appraisals and sincere customer service, and we are dedicated to ensuring our customers feel satisfied with choosing us.

About Icons

The manufacturing and distribution process for brand products emits large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and consumes large amounts of water. The images below represent the amounts of carbon dioxide and water consumption that can be reduced by reusing a product.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction

Our Calculation Method

  • The 'Resale Impact' is not a display of an actual environmental reduction but rather a quantification of the environmental impact (CO2 emissions and water consumption) generated by the manufacturing and distribution process that can be theoretically omitted when a customer purchases a product we resell instead of a buying a brand new item of the same type. Since our calculation is predicated on the emissions in the omitted manufacturing and distribution process, actual reductions in environmental impact may differ from our projected estimate.

  • Since our company does not manufacture goods, our calculations cover any resold goods (watches, bags, jewellery (including bullion), apparel, and accessories).
    Our company does not check and verify the actual numerical value of each item's environmental impact (CO2 emission and water consumption) for our Resale Impact. Instead, we base our calculations on data from the LCA database "Gabi*" and estimate the total environmental impact of an item's entire life cycle, from the procurement of its materials to its disposal and/or recycling. Our calculations were overseen by a third-party consulting firm.

  • Discrepancies in LCA results may occur due to differences in calculation assumptions or deficiencies in the manufacturing process.

  • Due to revisions in calculations, the latest calculated values of products may differ from those shown on product tags, etc.

**GaBi is a software provided by Sphera Solutions GmbH that evaluates the sustainability of products' lifecycles.

    I had my Rolex Sea-Dweller watch appraised at ALLU. The price they gave me was just about what I’d expected!

    I went to ALLU to sell my Rolex Sea-Dweller, one of my favourite watches. After visiting many stores, I finally settled on ALLU, especially since the campaign they were promoting when I was there allowed me to get an excellent price for the watch. The customer service and explanations were all top-notch. Whenever I have anything else to sell, I’ll be back at ALLU!

    I sold my Rolex Sea-Dweller Triple Six at ALLU. To be honest, I hadn’t really intended to sell it at first, but after experiencing the kind and thorough service offered by the staff at ALLU, I started to change my mind. The staff member I spoke with was very sympathetic and went through a lot of trouble to give me the best price possible, which was higher than any price offered by competing stores. In the end, I had a really good feeling about selling. You can bet I’ll be a repeat customer at ALLU from now on. Thank you for the excellent experience!

How to Get the Highest Selling Price for Your Watches!

  • point1 Remember the original box and other accessories! Image of Box and Accessories

    Warranty card, box, bracelet adjustment frame, and more: the more complete the accessories, the higher the purchase price. The purchase price may vary significantly depending on the model and serial number. In addition, novelties (items not for sale) included when purchasing a watch may also have a surprisingly high value. Even if you do not intend to sell them, bring them in with your other items, and we can appraise them.

  • point2 Cleaning can increase the appraisal value! Image of Watch Overhaul and Maintenance

    We recommend that you clean your watch on a regular basis, as a cleaner condition will result in a higher appraisal value. Simply wiping sweat or grease from the watch with a soft cloth can prevent the formation of rust. In addition, if you have the overhaul statement or other documentation, bringing them together may increase the appraisal value.

  • point3 Sell unused watches as soon as possible! Image of Unusued and Old Watch

    Generally, as items age, the selling price drops little by little. If you are not using the item in question, it is better to sell it before the selling price drops significantly.

FAQ: Selling Rolex Sea-Dweller Watches

How much can I expect to get for my Sea-Dweller?

The market value of the Sea-Dweller is relatively stable and has a high asset value. If the model is discontinued, such as the rare “Red Seed” model, for example, or has low distribution, we may be able to offer a high value. Please consult us directly for details.

Are there any particularly rare Sea-Dweller models?

The rarest and most valuable Sea-Dweller model is the Red Seed, manufactured in the early period of the production of the first edition Ref. 1665 Sea-Dweller. This model is characterised by the red colour of the dial, which on the Sea-Dweller and Submariner 2000 is usually white. The circulation of this model in the market is decreasing year by year, and resulting scarcity is driving up its price. To know if your Rolex is a rare Sea-Dweller model, please feel free to contact us for more information.

Can I get a higher price after having my Rolex serviced or repaired?

At ALLU, we have watch technicians on staff so that our customers can avoid the hassle of getting their watches looked at before selling them. Feel free to bring your watch in as is, and even if it is broken or damaged, we are confident that we will be able to purchase it at a price higher than other stores.

How can I get the most for my watch?

In order to maximise the value of your Sea-Dweller, it is important to have all of the accessory items and to keep the watch in good condition. At ALLU, however, we have sales channels worldwide and a high-paced changing inventory. So, we are actively buying items that are missing accessories or are not in perfect condition, and our prices always beat the other stores!

Do trends affect the selling price?

The market price may fluctuate depending on the timing of new releases or if a celebrity has worn one recently.

Do you buy older Sea-Dweller models as well?

Certainly, discontinued models have a low circulation and can fetch a high price, so we encourage you to contact us if you are in possession of one.

Can I sell just the Sea-Dweller, without accessories?

The main body of the watch alone is valuable enough, so we do purchase Sea-Dweller watches without accessories. *Please note that we may need to keep your item for a period of time to evaluate it.

Do you also buy Sea-Dweller models that are damaged, dirty, or broken/in poor condition?

ALLU has an in-house watch repair workshop, so we are able to evaluate your watch regardless of its condition. Even if other stores refuse to evaluate your watch, please bring it to us!

Do you also buy Sea-Dweller watches without all the parts?

We will be able to provide you with a price, as there is demand for parts only. However, in the case of parts-only transactions, it is difficult to offer a pre-assessment, so the evaluation will have to be performed in-store or through our home or delivery service.

How does the Sea-Dweller selling process work?

ALLU offers in-store, home, and delivery services. Most customers say that in-store evaluation makes it easier to ask questions and feel at ease about the transaction. Please let us know which method would suit your preferences.

ALLU Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell a watch that is broken or in poor condition?

Yes, you can. Since we can repair watches in-house, you can sell watches in all conditions.

For example:

Watches that have stopped working
Watches that need an overhaul
Watches with a dead battery
Watches that are rusty, scratched, or dirty.
Watches with a broken belt or glass.

If you ever were refused by other stores when trying to sell your item for reasons such as the above, please visit us at ALLU.

Do watches with accessories and warranties sell for more?

Yes. If you still have the box, warranty, and extra links left over from the belt adjustment, you are more likely to be offered a higher price for your watch. If the watch is in good condition, you can still sell your watch for high prices even if the above items are not included.

Can I sell a watch body without a belt or bracelet?

Yes, in most cases, we can make you an offer. We may find some watches difficult to buy, such as those with integrated belts or bracelets.

I received a higher selling price at another store.

We will do our best to meet your expectations, so please let us know how much the other company’s evaluation was.

Do selling prices vary from store to store?

No. All of our stores use the same standards for evaluation.

Do I need to make an appointment?

Yes. We ask that customers make an appointment via WhatsApp first so we can make sure that the appraisal can go smoothly.

How long does it take for an appraisal at the store?

We estimate 10 to 15 minutes for a single item. It depends on the item and the quantity, so please ask our staff when you visit.
