How do you know where to buy and who to buy from? Well, look for the answers no further. Here at Watch Buyers Inc. we think knowing how to buy the right watch for you is important, and understanding the process behind it is crucial.

Where to Start?

Do your research. Knowing exactly what you want is important. Never make a final decision on a purchase unless you are 100% sure you love it! With high end luxury watches like Rolex,Cartier, Hublot… going to a retail store and trying on the piece you are interested in is always a good idea. This way you know how the watch feels, you know what it looks like, and there are NO surprises.

Secondly, you should decide if you would like to purchase your watch new or pre-owned. Many people have a misunderstanding that pre-owned watches are something to stay away from. This is FALSE. Sometimes pre-owned watches can be purchased in like new condition and ultimately may be a better choice for you in terms of expense and accessibility.
 

What to Look For When Buying Online

You should always know something about the people you are buying from. Where are they located, do they have a store front, do they offer any warranties on the purchase, and do they guarantee the product is 100% authentic, are a few questions you should ask yourself or the site you are purchasing from. Feeling confident in the site you purchase from is important so you feel comfortable knowing where your money is going. You should also feel comfortable with your payment options. The customer should always be informed if their purchase is protected by the seller or by the payment company. Know the sellers policies!! Be informed on purchases, returns, and warranties.

Selling a Luxury Watch, Is It Safe?

Owning a luxury watch and wanting to sell it a few years after is not a new story for some of us. Whether by choice or by force, sometimes these prized possessions need to be let go of. However, selling a Patek Philippe watch is not as easy as it seems because you would have to get it appraised in order to know how much it is really worth. 

Luxury watches have information of the model details on the back. Taking note of these plus the name of the watch can help you when you inquire about it. Gathering information will make you more equipped when you get it appraised. Next, you should bring it to a watch expert, particularly to well-established places where selling watches is their specialization. These places have experts who can assist you and give you honest assessment so you can get your watch’s worth. The next step is to lay down your options and choose which buyer to sell your Cartier watch or any other luxury watches to. I would personally prefer a private buyer instead of the big auction houses. Private reputable buyers have quick turnaround and they too have their own professional watch experts

Consider taking out of your list of options Ebay and Craigslist because they are breeding ground for scammers who pose as interested parties. Furthermore, those who are not experts when it comes to selling luxury Chanel watches and other branded timepieces might not know enough of your watch’s worth and giving in to their price might rob you off the real price you could earn. The Internet can be safe, however, you can consider private sellers like WatchBuyersInc.com because these guys have been in the business long enough to be known for being good in what they do.

In conclusion, selling a Rolex watch or any other luxury brand watches can be safe if you know where to go and how to look. Plus, like in all things, doing research beforehand will equip you with the right information during the assessment process up until the selling process. Be in the know so that you will get your luxury watch’s worth.
