FAQs

Can you buy watches on Black Friday?

Hopefully you know by now, but yes! Black Friday may be better known for deals on technology and home appliances, but watches certainly aren't left out.

Whether you're looking to make an already affordable watch even more wallet-friendly, or finally bring your dream watch into reach, there's no better time to buy.

Does Rolex do Black Friday?

While Rolex itself doesn't offer any kind of Black Friday promotion, it is sometimes possible to buy a Rolex with Black Friday discounts. Those come through third-party retailers, so they're often pre-loved examples.

If you see one here on T3, you can be sure that it comes from one of our network of trusted dealers, giving you peace of mind when buying luxury goods online.

Is it better to buy before or on Black Friday?

There's certainly a case to be made both ways here. Waiting for the day itself can often bring more variety, as extra deals are added in the run up to the event. Occasionally – though it is more rare these days – some deals get better as time goes on, meaning a bigger bargain could be had.

However, shopping early allows you to skip the queues, and ensure there's still stock of your favourite products. Personally, I like to get ahead of the game and watch the chaos unfold over the Black Friday weekend with my feet up – and with so many early sales events offering killer deals, it's not a bad option.
