Why Buying a Preowned Used Watch Might Be a Great Choice

Buying a brand new, straight out-of-the-box luxury watch can be exciting. However, more and more are exploring the joys of buying pre-owned and vintage watches as used watch market has exploded in recently.

Here are three main reasons for why buying used watches is a great idea.

1. Wide Range Of Models and Styles For You to Choose

Shopping for a brand new watch limits you to current models, whereas the pre-owned market can give you a vast array of models, including previous versions of watches, limited editions, discontinued styles. This is especially true for some luxury and semi-luxury watch staples or designs that are considered classic.

2. If you are lucky, you may find preowned but never used watches

They’re more common than you think. It could be that the previous owner got it from an authorized dealer and decided shortly after that it wasn’t for them, or that it was just kept in a deposit box. More frequently the previous owner bought the watch just for collection, not for daily use.

3. Preowned watches keep value, you may even profit from them

If you want to sell your watch in a few years, you’re less likely to suffer a loss with a pre-owned watch, since the original owner has virtually eaten the initial loss in value for you. If you find a bargain deal, like through VFASHION watches, you may even make some profit when re-selling them.
