Here are some important details via the auction page: “All of the lots featured, like every luxury watch on our site, are guaranteed to be 100% certified authentic and come with our 1 year service warranty as well as a lifetime authenticity guarantee.”

Let’s be real, these may not sound like “deals” to many, but these are Rolexes. In that context, a Rolex Explorer 214270 Mark I Dial like the one up for auction on Dec. 19 is a steal with a starting bid of $1,000. 

It’ll be totally worth it if you’re buying for someone else—or treating yourself.
