Black DLC Rolex Submariners and more

TimeandGems.com, the leading pre-owned Rolex dealer in the United States, has recently announced a new line of black DLC coated Rolex watches. Unlike other dealers, like Bamford & Sons, these watches are not grey market, they are, however, pre-owned. They are Rolex watches that are purchased in excellent condition, and are then serviced and reconditioned. And best of all, they are way cheaper than the black Rolex watches that other companies are marketing. They are generally half the price of what other companies are charging for their new black Rolex watches.

Ever since the Bamford Rolex article was published on this site, many readers have emailed inquiring about where to buy black Rolex watches. Here is the best answer to all those inquires. Go to TimeandGems.com and choose from five models starting at $6,000.

Black Rolex Watches Hit Mainstream - Rolex Dealer Unveils Five Affordable New Models

Time and Gems, an independent pre-owned Rolex retailer, unveils five all-black Rolex models making them the first ever to offer all-black Rolex watches with a proprietary DLC coating at a price of almost 50% less than other luxury watch retailers.

"Other companies that sell black Rolex watches tend to use brand new watches and charge up to 3 times the cost of a new Rolex" says Jason Smith, president of Time and Gems. "Since we use certified pre owned Rolex watches, we're able to offer the same stealth-black look at a much more reasonable price - often just a little more than the cost of a brand new model."

The all-black models currently available in limited quantities are the Rolex Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Explorer II, GMT-II and Milgauss. They also come with subtle customizations such as carbon fiber dials and bezel enhancements.

The Rolex watches are "blackened" using a proprietary process, that has been refined over many months, to apply a DLC (Diamond-Like-Carbon) military-grade coating to them. Besides transforming their look, this also improves their durability by making them more scratch-resistant.

Time and Gems also offers the option of customers sending in their own Rolex watches to have them "blackened" using the same proprietary DLC-coating process.
