Tips To Keep In Mind Before Buying A Second Hand Watch

October 21, 2020 by Alison Leave a Comment

Nowadays, the large luxury products firms have seen how the counterfeiting of their products is affecting in a very negative way, not only their business, but also their customers, these being the most affected since in many cases can be victims of a scam. You certainly want to avoid this if it is a gift. On many occasions, interested people look for these products in the second-hand market since as a general rule these products, given their value, have been very well cared for and this allows you to save money, something totally logical given the high price they usually have these luxury items.


Buying a luxury watch from brands such as Rolex, Breitling, Omega or Panerai, for example, is a very wise decision as long as you take the proper precautions and let yourself be advised by qualified professionals, such as The Watch Box which can be found online.  Of course, and although it is obvious, avoid terms such as replica or imitation. Compared to imitations, which are cheap copies that are obvious, replicas are much more cared for and pampered to pretend to be originals. Another term with which you have to be especially careful is “homage watch” since, although in many cases the large luxury watch firms usually release editions with this name, it is widely used in the counterfeit market to carry out scam attempts.

Research the seller

A physical showroom and user-friendly website are also good signs that the business is legitimate. If a seller cannot present the product in person or at least do it through high quality images, you should not be filled with confidence.

Make sure the seller offers a certificate of authenticity 

You need to ensure that whoever worked on the watch knows what they were doing and uses genuine parts. Retailers with accredited service centers have watchmakers who have been professionally trained by each brand to work on their watches.

Ask the seller about the origins of the watch

Be thorough when asking for the information. Have no qualms. Any reputable seller should be able and also happy to explain the origin of the watch. Observe that the seller operates with full transparency, also making sure that he checks the background of his actions to verify the theft records.

Don’t trust abnormally low prices                                                                   

Pre-owned watches are more popular than ever, and sadly, the days of finding something like a Rolex at a bargain price are long gone. Researching the watch you are interested in and getting a good understanding of the current second-hand market value is essential. There are some brands and models that offer good savings (usually 30-70% off), but a watch that is priced considerably below the second-hand market price will have a high chance of being stolen, counterfeit, or made from a mix. of parts of other watches, known in the market as Frankenstein watch.

So it is a great way to buy online when you want to get second hand watches. They truly are a great investment. But be sure to shop wisely and use the tips mentioned above!
