“The best time to buy a Rolex was yesterday,” remarks Sebastian Swart for his latest report for Chrono24 magazine – drawing on the German secondary marketplace’s ‘Chronopulse’ tracker, devoted to tracking price fluctuations for pre-owned 1:1 Rolex replica watches CA and a handful of other big brands. From 2020 to 2025, however, Rolex is arguably the best barometer when it comes to what’s been a turbulent, Wildly dynamic West for pre-owned Swiss made Rolex fake watches. This analysis forms the crux of the Chrono24 Rolex report.
“Those Rolex buyers who purchased their copy during the big rush in spring 2022 may find the saying a bit hard to stomach. So when is the right time to buy copy Rolex watches? ‘Buy the dip’ and ‘Never catch a falling knife’ are two more wise sayings borrowed from the stock market. However, the past has shown that markets and indices have always recovered and delivered long-term gains.”
In summary, the findings highlight the importance of understanding long-term market trends, a key takeaway from the ChronoPulse report.
“My personal opinion,” concludes Mr Swart, “is that 2025 may well be a good year to buy cheap replica Rolex watches.”
One caveat, especially when it comes to Chrono24 is that their Chronopulse data – ultimately based on transaction volume – is largely affected by advertised prices, which can be out of step with ultimate transaction prices. Over time, this doesn’t matter much to the rise and fall, by percentages, but as Christy Davis, co-founder of tracker retail platform Subdial, sagely told GQ’s Laura McCreddie-Doak last month: “Prices that are listed online are generally a poor guide to market price. By definition they tend to show what prices watches aren’t selling at. To understand where they are selling you need to see the Canada Swiss fake Rolex watches that are no longer available.”
Adrian Hailwood, founder and managing director of The Watch Scholar, agreed for McCreddie-Doak’s same report: “Online watch marketplaces are full of watches that haven’t sold, at prices people want to sell them at.”
Nonetheless Chrono24’s Rolex retrospective is valuable reading – it would be churlish to say otherwise given the platform’s global dominance. Almost 100,000 Rolex replica watches for sale are listed at the time of writing.
No one need reminding of the post-Pandemic boom of 2022, followed by the inevitable deflation of said metaphorical balloon – across every brand, not just top Rolex super clone watches. But as Mr Swart concludes, The Crown’s evergreen brand equity will hold fast, from shopfloor to online marketplace.
“The ChronoPulse Index clearly shows that the peak of the Rolex price development was reached in April 2022. At the same time, the US Federal Reserve, followed by other central banks, initiated a turnaround in interest rates. With the first key interest rate hike since 2018, traditional forms of investment such as shares and interest-bearing investments became more attractive to investors again.
“Over the past five years as a whole, best replica Rolex watches on Chrono24 have appreciated by 28%. By way of comparison, Breitling posted a positive performance of only around 11% over the same period, while the ever-popular Rolex sibling brand Tudor recorded a drop of just over 8%.
“However,” Swart continues, “it should be noted that watches from the eternal Rolex challenger Omega performed even better with just over 30%. That being said, the watches from the latter are not traded nearly as speculatively as timepieces from Rolex. Here are three examples: The Rolex Datejust 36 ref. 126234 with a blue dial has appreciated by almost 44% since 2020, while the Explorer 2 (ref. 16570, white dial) is up around 22%. The perfect fake Rolex Daytona ref. 116500LN watches with a black dial recorded an increase in value of 18%.
“As of the time of writing in June 2025, prices for Rolex copy watches for sale are roughly at the same level as late summer 2021, i.e., before the big hype. Prices have been stable again since spring 2023.
“Epecially in economically uncertain times, Swiss movements Rolex replica watches is considered by many to be a valuable investment… quickly swapped for cash in an emergency, guaranteeing a high level of liquidity.”
From WatchPro’s perspective, another timeworn expression springs to mind: buy with your heart, not your head. But clearly, if Chrono24 has anything to say, when the latter does inevitably creep in, the choice is clear.
