Looking to buy Rolex OP. Thoughts on new vs used? Is the additional ~2k worth it for new?

New you’ll probably get free servicing for a year or two but idk if it’s worth 2k.

I just had a look on Chrono24. The very cheapest option amongst 322 watches I could find is about $1k under list. So even disregarding the fact that it comes without box and papers, you’re still 1k higher than the example you’re quoting. That’s kinda weird to me.
