Besides the obvious, always look at used luxury watches for scratches and dents before you buy, there are a few things to consider when buying used luxury watches. Spending a good chunk of change on something owned means that you must be an expert. There are no guarantees from used items, if you are lucky you can resell or return them. But buying for storage is better.
Keep an open attitude
Know what you want, but keep an open mind about affordable choices, the luxury market may be limited. On some days you will stumble on quality watches with great value, on other days everything is just overpriced. Buying used needs is a keen instinct for deals, grab the opportunity with both hands when you find a good find. When something looks too good to be true, continue with trepidation.
Trust your supplier
If you are buying a luxury watch, it is very important to trust your supplier. Unfortunately, there are sellers who prey on new comers by selling them backpacks or replicas. When you ask your supplier whether the watch is in good working condition and it says “yes”, you trust it.
Be careful when shopping online.
This is just common sense. Always check the business address of your seller so you can look at them later if the purchase goes wrong. Retailers are registered with the Singaporean government, and you can also check it out.
Check return policy
It is also reasonable to ask before buying if the seller accepts returns and repairs. That way you can always get your money back if you are not satisfied. Some sellers will not give you a refund and offer to exchange watches with something equal. If this is acceptable to you, continue shopping.
Ignore the belt
Some parts of the watch can be replaced, and this is especially true for a belt or bracelet. The belt gets the most wear and tear over time and is sometimes in poor condition when the watches are sold in advance. If the belt is too tight or too loose, it can be adjusted or replaced.
Beware of fakes
Fake used luxury watches will break much faster. They really are not worth the purchase price. It takes practice to stop really good fakes, but with experience you should be able to tell signs.
Quality forever
Do not worry about the age of hours. The best thing about luxury watches is that the technology that goes to watches has changed very little over the past hundred years. The appearance of the watch will change every few years in accordance with fashion trends, but the car is the same.
A quality watch made decades ago will still be a great time. This is the best reason to buy a solid brand watches. You essentially buy the same quality at a fraction of the cost.
