I don't even think that Timex makes a mechanical watch anymore
LOL, and Rolex does not make quartz watches.

Several years ago I worked for a pawn shop corporation. I learned a few non-technical tricks there. One was the role of the Rolex in the aftermarket. The Rolex company will pay big dollars, about $1500 for any running Rolex. This sets a minimum price much the way DeBeers sets a minimum price on diamonds. Pawn shops will gladly pay 50% to 75% of the minimum price since they know they can sell all they have right back to the company.
