Identify the reference and whether it is a Submariner or Submariner Date, then bring the watch, available records and original accessories you still have. ## Start with the reference rather than a nickname Rolex distinguishes the Submariner from the Submariner Date, which adds a date display. Its official history also documents changes across generations. A familiar bezel color or seller nickname is therefore not enough to specify the complete watch being evaluated. Use the reference from paperwork you already have and note any uncertainty. Record the dial and bezel appearance, but do not infer that visible parts are original simply because they resemble a manufacturer photograph. If you cannot locate a reference safely, bring the watch without removing the bracelet or opening the case yourself. ## Describe service, wear and replacement parts Keep any service invoice with the watch, especially when it identifies a replacement dial, hands, bezel or bracelet component. Explain known polishing or repairs without describing undocumented work as factory service. An honest record of what changed is more useful than an unsupported claim that every part is original. Note a loose clasp, damaged crystal, missing bracelet link or problem you have observed with the watch. Do not test water resistance yourself before selling. A model's original specification is not proof of the present sealing or condition of a particular pre-owned watch. - Bring spare bracelet links, box and matching purchase documents where available. - Keep unrelated paperwork separate rather than presenting it as this watch's history. - Leave servicing or polishing decisions until their purpose has been discussed. - Avoid publishing the full serial number or personal purchase documents online. ## Compare offers for the same watch and accessories A retail listing for another Submariner is not a direct purchase offer for yours. Reference, configuration, condition and the items included in the sale must match before a comparison becomes useful. State whether the offer includes the spare links and box, and distinguish a preliminary estimate from an amount given after examination. A famous model name does not guarantee a particular premium or immediate payment. Ask for the complete purchase terms for your watch. We are a buying business; this guide does not claim that Cash 4 Gold & Diamonds is an authorized Rolex retailer, service center or participant in Rolex's Certified Pre-Owned program. ## Book an evaluation at the Downtown store Call 310-663-1340 before traveling with the watch. Evaluations take place only at 617 S. Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014, in the California Jewelry Mart. We have operated in Downtown Los Angeles since 2007; store hours are Monday–Friday, 11 a.m.–5 p.m., with Saturday and Sunday closed. The owner-designated parking lot is Joe's Parking, 618 S. Olive Street. Verify the operator's current access and availability when planning the trip. Bring the watch as it is, the records you have and the questions you want answered before deciding whether to sell. ## Questions before your evaluation ### Can I sell a Submariner without the original box or papers? Contact us to discuss an evaluation of the actual watch. Missing accessories should be disclosed, and any offer must be based on what is present. Do not buy replacement packaging to imply a history you cannot verify. ### Should I polish my Submariner before an evaluation? Discuss its current condition first. Polishing changes the surfaces and is not automatically useful for your sale. Bring existing service records and avoid spending on preparation before understanding its purpose. ### Does a bezel color identify the exact Submariner reference? No. Use the reference, complete watch and history together. A color or nickname alone does not establish the configuration, authenticity or originality of the parts. ## Where can you read more about these facts? - [Rolex: Submariner model history and changes]() - [Rolex: current Submariner and Submariner Date models]() ## Arrange an evaluation in Downtown Los Angeles Cash 4 Gold & Diamonds has one store: 617 S.
