Frequently Asked Questions About Pre-Owned Luxury Watch Brands

How do I know if a luxury watch is authentic?

Authentic pre-owned luxury watches feature precise finishing, correct font and logo applications, proper serial number placement, and high-quality materials throughout. The movement should match the model specifications and bear appropriate markings. We would always recommend researching the person or dealer you are purchasing from using tools such as Trustpilot.

How often should I service my luxury watch?

Most luxury manufacturers recommend servicing mechanical watches every 5-7 years to maintain optimal performance. For quartz models, battery replacement is typically needed every 2-3 years, which is also an opportunity to check water resistance seals and overall function.

Are pre-owned luxury watches a good investment?

Select luxury models have shown strong value retention, particularly limited editions, vintage classics, and special collaboration pieces. Investment potential depends on condition, originality, rarity, and historical significance. As with all luxury items, we recommend purchasing primarily for enjoyment, with investment potential as a secondary consideration.

How should I care for my luxury timepiece between services?

For daily care:

  • Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and moisture
  • Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water (for dive watches)
  • Store in a watch winder or case when not in use
  • Avoid magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure
  • Have water resistance tested annually if you regularly submerge your watch
