Checklist To Buy Luxury Wrist Watches

By Henry Reed


When it comes to buying vintage or pre-owned luxury watches, it can be a difficult especially for people who are doing it for the first time. Thanks to the internet shopping for pre-owned luxury watches has become easier as you will find hundreds of platforms dealing in pre-owned Luxury Wrist Watches brands.

What to Buy- Before you decide which watch to buy; you need to zero in on the purpose of your purchase. If you want to possess, wear, and flaunt, a luxury timepiece, you may choose a popular watch from a well-known brand. Why choose complications? Focus on the complications, i. E., the mechanical functions of the piece other than that it tells the time, if you want something specific. An example is its ability to tell the date, day and month of the year. However, these pieces are even more expensive. The more complications the timepiece has, the higher its price.

How to grab eyeballs? Well, a leisure watch can be the best way to up your style quotient! This is not the only reason to indulge in this luxury though. A high-end timepiece can generate the right attention in the right people and make you the focus of it. You can make a favorable impression on anyone if you know how to flaunt it right.

What makes the difference? Low-end watches, mass-produced by unskilled laborers, are sure to be poor in quality when compared to precious, handcrafted timepieces that take months, even years to make. The huge difference in quality is what makes the first one a common item of no considerable value and the second one a collectible worth millions.

This is a great way of avoiding fakes as most knockoffs do not come branded with a serial number. It is important to research on the makers website to know where the serial number is located. Before purchasing, it is important to know if the watch has a unique serial number.

The Complication - The More. Majority of this arises from nature. Take for example the Portuguese Grande Complication from the prestigious watch house of International Watch Company. It features a chronograph, a perpetual moon phase display, a perpetual calendar (that you need not adjust until 2499) and a minute repeater.

Learn to spot fakes- While it is difficult to spot a fake watch especially in today's world where knockoffs are made to look like leisure brands, there are a few tell tale signs you can spot. The first one is weight. A leisure watch is made with high quality and heavy material while knockoffs are made of light and semi quality material.

Does it need insurance coverage? Again, the same logic applies here. Luxury watches involve high investments. Just as you need insurance to cover any valuable possession of yours, you need insurance to cover any loss or damage to the classic timepiece. Many retailers offer assistance with the insurance coverage. How much does it cost? Keep your budget in mind though before you make a purchase. You can buy a luxury watch for as little as $2,000.
