The Best Tips To Buy Pre-Owned Luxury Watches

It is well established that most high-end designer brands manufacture their luxury watches only in limited editions. So, getting your hands on them the moment they launch might not always be possible, and even the prices may be too high. In this case, you can go shopping for pre-owned luxury watches. There are clients who Consign with us in Bay Area for their premium timepieces, and luckily, you might find the one you are looking for in our hand-curated collection.

But do you know how to ensure you only buy the most authentic and quality product? Here are a few tips.

1. The lowest price is not the best

Once you have decided to purchase a pre-owned luxury watch, you must already have a budget; however, if you find something unreliably good for the piece you are playing, it might yield you poorly. Once you have discovered which watch you want to buy, do extensive research to understand the current market price of the watch, both brand-new and second-hand. Then, if your watchmaker is giving you a hefty discount, it might be a sign that it is either damaged, fake, or stolen.

2. Keep maintenance costs in mind

After you have purchased any timepiece, no matter how high-end the brand is, maintenance and servicing will be required occasionally. Especially if you are buying a vintage piece that dates back to the 1980s, be careful about the budget you are ready to spend on its maintenance since it requires more love and care.

3. Check the warranty and return policy

When you spend considerable money on anything, even second-hand, it must come with a warranty and return policy. The sign of any trustworthy seller is that they will offer you an exchange or a full refund in case any problem arises with your newly purchased timepiece.

4. Service History

Checking the service history of the watch you are eyeing to buy is like making sure it has been well-maintained and serviced while being offered to new buyers. If it has yet to be checked recently, add the price of professional service and the purchase price to ensure you are paying the right price.
