5 Things to Know Before Buying a Used Rolex Datejust

Over the years lots of people have said to me “I don’t understand why you need more than one watch” so I thought perhaps I might take this opportunity to shed some light. You see the first thing wrong with that question is the use of the word “need”.

To be honest, very few of us need one watch these days because almost everyone has a mobile phone with the time on it.

But then this isn’t about ‘need’ is it?

&nbsp;

Type 'v' Taste

Watch collectors seem to fall into two main categories – those who collect by brand or type and those who collect simply from personal taste. Some people will collect only Rolex for instance or only chronographs or purely military watches, whereas others will just collect those watches that ‘speak’ to them. For what my opinion is worth, it seems to me that the latter are those with the most courage of their convictions and confidence – and I can say that as I am one of the former. So, if it’s not about ‘need’, then what is this watch collecting business all about?

&nbsp;

Pleasure

Well sometimes it’s about the pleasure that comes from choosing which one to wear today. Maybe it’s not your favourite; maybe that must be saved for a more special occasion and today doesn’t fit the bill. Now there’s an exquisite pain.

And that touches on another reason. Sometimes it’s about having just the right watch for just the right job. Lovely though a Patek 5120G is, it’s just not the right thing for an evening in the pub with your mates.

Equally, your stylish and fantastically crafted Sea Dweller just doesn’t sit well with your dinner jacket.

And an evening at the theatre with your wife? Well, that’s three already…

&nbsp;

So, it’s certainly not about ‘need’ but a collection can have a practical side, not to mention the investment value. But that’s another subject all together…. and our <a href="https://www.oakleighwatches.co.uk/expert-watch-guides/">Expert Guide to Investment Watches</a> will help you build a financially sound portfolio, if that’s your desire.

If we’ve inspired you to own more than one watch, visit our collections where you’ll find a range of high end pre-owned luxury brands.

This new Zeno ZWB Automatic DLC is a superb limited edition military watch from the Basel manufacturer in the style of the classic CWC.
The 39mm case is made from high quality stainless steel with a DLC coating, engraved caseback and a NATO strap.  Only 300 of these watches were ever made so it's a genuine limited edition.
With military markings, sword hands and a Day Date window, this watch really looks the part.
It is brand new and has never been worn and comes with the travel case and the papers.
The Automatic ETA movement has a 40 hour power reserve and the case is water resistant to 100m.
We love a military watch and especially a CWC, but even the quartz ones are £1,000 and the automatics are around £1,500. That's the point of this Zeno, it's Swiss, it has integrity, and it's less than £700 brand new.
Just tested, this new Zeno ZWB Automatic is running beautifully.
