Buying Pre-Owned Luxury Watches: A More Affordable Solution!
The pre-owned luxury watch market has made great strides in terms of broader acceptance within the watch-enthusiast community in recent years. Indeed, choosing pre-owned watches offers many advantages for consumers.
Second-hand sales are booming, whether in the watch sector or other industries. When it comes to pre-owned watches, the choice is vast. You can easily select from a multitude of brands and models. For Cartier fans, the search is very straightforward. In fact, they can turn to specialist sites to find exactly what they’re looking for—a topic we cover in our article on luxury watches on the pre-owned market.
A cost-effective solution
Major brands have always maintained that their products can last a lifetime—or even several.
It’s not unusual to see watches that are more than six decades old sitting beautifully on someone’s wrist.
Given that these are durable luxury goods, buying high-quality watches on the pre-owned market is a smart way to save money. You can save 20 to 80% off retail prices when you buy a pre-owned luxury watch.
Sourcing rare watches
It’s common for high-end watch retailers to offer only current models. As a rule, they don’t keep limited editions in stock. So if you’re looking for a rare piece, the pre-owned market is the ideal place to find it.
In the past, unless you were a specialist, it was quite difficult to get your hands on a rare or vintage luxury watch without the right contacts. Fortunately, the task is much easier today given the openness and transparency of the pre-owned watch market. Not only are there many sources for finding the watch you’re looking for, but there is also a wealth of information available online about the different brands, references and models.
