How much you can borrow against a Rolex watch
Rolex watch loans are based on the current market resale value of the watch. This means the loan is no more than a percentage of this value.
The more valuable your Rolex, the more you can borrow against it. This is how investors can use luxury watches to get substantial collateral loans.
When pawning a Rolex watch in South Africa is a good idea
A loan against a luxury asset could help you bridge a cash flow gap, cover unexpected costs or take advantage of an opportunity you’d otherwise miss out on.
This type of loan is designed to meet a short-term need for funding.
Like any loan, it’s a good idea only if you know and understand the loan terms, and are confident you’ll be able to meet them.
At Lamna, we take pride in ensuring that our loan agreements are completely clear and transparent. Our consultants explain all aspects of our loan terms before any agreement is signed. Please always ask questions if there is anything you need to clarify.
Some interesting facts about the Rolex brand
Rolex is arguably the world’s best-known and most loved luxury watch brand. It was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1905.
A few fun facts about the brand:
- The name “Rolex” was invented. After trying many combinations of letters, Wilsdorf said “a genie” whispered the name to him while he was riding an omnibus in London.
- Rolex wasn’t started in Switzerland. In fact, it was founded in London. In 1919, the company moved to Geneva, where it became the luxury Swiss brand we know today.
- In 1926, Rolex made its first waterproof and dustproof wristwatch, the Oyster – named for its hermetically sealed case.
- The Rolex watch has been the choice of many adventurers, including racing driver Sir Malcolm Campbell and mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary.
- In 2005, Rolex created the Parachrom Bleu hairspring, which is unaffected by magnetic fields and is up to 10 times more resistant to shocks than a traditional hairspring.
