Watchfinder & Co., the online pre-owned watch-selling platform controlled by luxury conglomerate Richemont, has dropped prices by about 15% as valuations of used Rolex and other top models have declined.

ā€œThere is pain for sure,ā€ Arjen van de Vall, who took over as the chief executive officer of Watchfinder in 2021, said in an interview. ā€œYou see supply going up significantly for models that we would literally have killed for just a couple of months before.ā€
