Superbuy's Comprehensive Rolex Grading & Risk Management System for Pre-Owned Luxury Purchases
In the competitive world of pre-owned luxury watch trading, Superbuy
The 20-Tier Condition Classification Matrix
Superbuy's grading system introduces unprecedented granularity in evaluating pre-owned Rolex timepieces:
- 98-100 / "Like New": Unworn condition with original protective films
- 90-97 / "Excellent": Light wear only visible under magnification
- 80-89 / "Very Good": Superficial scratches on non-focal surfaces
- 70-79 / "Good": Visible wear consistent with 3-5 years of regular use
- Below 70: Significant wear or functional issues requiring disclosure
Each tier correlates with price adjustments (range caps 5%-8%) to maintain market competitiveness.
Dynamic Risk Control via Superbuy Spreadsheet
The system integrates multiple verification layers:
- Automated cross-check between condition grade and third-party appraisal photos
- Natural language processing detects undisclosed "refurbishment indicators" in reports
- Listing freeze protocol triggers when discrepancies exceed preset thresholds
Recent platform data shows this system has reduced post-purchase disputes by 63% year-over-year.
Data-Driven Pricing Strategy Implementation
By analyzing 14 months' transaction data (n=2,418), Superbuy identified:

| 95-97 (Near Mint) | 22-28% | Above Average |
| 90-94 | 15-21% | Average |
