Pre-owned luxury watches can provide tremendous value and cost savings. The market for these time pieces is large and lucrative, and the internet has further amplified it. However, there is a process involved with acquiring the best products, and when you consider the many counterfeit watches which have flooded the market it is essential to separate genuine watches from the fakes. Here are some tips that will help.

A good watch is about more than just telling time. It is a personal accessory which reflects your personal style and character. Wearing the right watch with the right outfit at the right time and place can manifest your tastes in a manner that will make you not only stand out from others, but stand above them. Below is our pick for the top 5 luxury watch brands for 2016.

Some people choose to purchase a brand new watch because they know they are getting something that no other person has worn before. A watch free of light cosmetic blemishes and any other imperfections that can occur during the period it has been worn. For this, a premium is paid. Just like a car this premium is usually lost immediately after the purchase.
Some people choose to purchase a pre-owned watch at a fraction of the Retail Price. These discounts can sometimes reach up to 50% and more off full retail price. As the price of the desired watch rises into the thousands so does the savings. Most of the time reputable watch dealers will overhaul the watch making it work like new and polish off any cosmetic blemishes making it look as close to new as possible. Many fine Luxury watches such as Rolex And Patek Philippe also gain price over the years. Buying a pre-owned fine watch like a Rolex or a Patek at a discount and then having its value rise over the years, not only makes you a connoisseur but an investor.
