Say for an example, you buy a new Submariner after using for 2 years, you might sell to the pre-owned watch shop at a price of 60% of the original price as Watch Dealer and shop need min. 20% for their profit margin.
- Buy only from reliable shops with decades of good record.
- Trust not web site if that watch is a vintage or collectible item, go for auction.
- Buy those comes with Warranty card if possible, usually it is more expensive by 2-3%.
- Provided you know how to tell if that is the right stuff.
- Try to get discount say 5%, sometimes it works. And I always do.
- Ask for the liability of the watch.
- Bring a Man of Watch expert to go with you for an ocular check.
- Do not say you are coming from Foreign country, always say you are local as you can come back any time if there is an issue!
