Top 3 tips when buying a luxury watch

Buying a luxury watch can be a memorable experience as well as a daunting task, when you consider the hours spent behind choosing the perfect one for you. But the effort is totally worth it, because you will be the owner of a classic timepiece.

How can you make sure that you are getting the right deal? Well, here are three tips to keep in mind when you're planning to break the bank to buy your dream watch.

Tip 1 : Buy your watch from a transparent and experienced watch retailer
Sure, it is essential to buy a watch from an authorized retailer, but there have been repeated instances of fake watches being found at authorized shops too. Choose a retailer that complies with all the rules, issues a bill against your name and also sells you the watch with all necessary paperwork, warranty cards, etc. Check on the experience of the retailer who you are buying from as well, horology is a science that can be mastered only through the passing of time.

Tip 2 : Test their knowledge
If you want to test a watch store before buying something that valuable, do a bit of research before talking to them about the watch that you’re interested in. Ask questions about the origin, It’s movement and complications; it helps to be well informed. And if your questions aren’t being answered clearly, it might be a good idea to seek expert advice elsewhere

Ensure you’re on the right track, ask the right questions.

Tip 3 : Don’t fall for the “too good to be true” Discounts
Sure, we understand nobody minds a good discount, but we have to bear in mind that every luxury brand only allows discounts up to a particular level to customers across the globe.

Now you might think that the best deal is when you get the highest discount, but the irony of this situation is, that it’s a better deal for the retailer. If you’re getting a discount which is “too good to be true”, it’s very likely that a fake or refurbished product is being passed on to you. And the difference isn’t much either. Avoid the exuberant discounts and enjoy the peace of mind of having bought a risk-free luxury watch.
