Last week, WatchChoice.com made available for free download, a 45 page comprehensive how-to guide called “Buy the Watch and the Seller”. The title reflects the WatchChoice.com advice to online buyers that they should not only make themselves comfortable they have found the best luxury watch but that it is equally important they are comfortable with the seller of the watch as well.
Glenn Palmer, WatchChoice.com’s Owner and Founder, knows from from his own experience that transferring money across the world or even within your own country for a luxury Swiss or German watch or even a pre owned watch you haven’t been able to see with your own eyes and touch can cause some anxiety. “The guide provides dozens of tips in an easy-to-follow format and gives buyers practical actions they can follow without leaving their computers” says Palmer.
The first section of the eBook caters for those new to luxury watches and covers the basics of buying luxury watches such as the different types of mechanical watch movements, the importance of the number of jewels and resale values. The second section talks about knowing the total price of your watch purchase so that costs such as shipping and handling costs and import duties if you are buying from outside your country are included in your total price. Warranties are also covered in this section and the various types of warranties and the real protection they give you are discussed. This section also gives some tips on how to spot a fake luxury watch and the tactics of luxury watch imposters.
The final section covers finding the best online luxury watch seller and talks about the importance of sellers displaying multiple contact channels and being clear about their policies on returns and authenticity. It also includes the protection offered by all the various payment types such as credit cards, wire transfers and escrow as well as looking at the security of the seller’s website, identity fraud and third party rating services such as BBBOnline.
Palmer said he believed “it was time that buyers were given access to comprehensive and easy to follow tips on buying luxury watch brands online. We hope our eBook and simple checklists will help buyers feel more comfortable when they come to make their next online luxury watch purchase.

WatchChoice.com has seen a significant upturn in the last few months in the interest being shown towards luxury watches that have already had a previous owner. While some people call them second hand watches, others say “used” while others prefer “pre owned” or even “pre loved” but whatever your term of choice, the market for quality second hand luxury watches is gaining in popularity.
As the Global Financial Crisis deepens and the luxury watch market slows, a greater number of luxury watch enthusiasts on WatchChoice.com are shifting their attention from new luxury watches to pre owned watches. Glenn Palmer, WatchChoice.com’s Managing Director, says feedback from Watch Choice members indicates there are a range of reasons for the rise in interest in the second hand market. The soft economy and the concern about whether the economy will decline further or when it will bounce back has lead to low levels of confidence in enthusiast’s prospective financial circumstances. That means buyers planning to purchase a luxury watch have found it harder to justify the outlay and have turned to the second hand watch market as a cost effective way to acquiring a luxury watch for themselves.
Other feedback from luxury watch enthusiasts shows the current financial environment has also affected their buying patterns. Some collectors have reported they are more likely to sell one or more luxury watches from their collection to raise money for the purchase of their next watch where previously they may have simply just added watches to their collection. Enthusiasts who become sellers before buying have therefore added to the number of used watches for sale.
Luxury watch buyers in countries that have in recent times experienced substantial currency rate declines, such as Australia, against stronger currencies such as the US dollar, English pound and the Euro have seen significantly increased watch prices. Buyers in these countries are particularly looking for the best value and are looking to quality second hand watches to meet their luxury watch needs.
Glenn Palmer says that the new levels of interest in second hand watches is likely to continue for at least as long as the economic climate remains depressed and possibly longer. He says “we could see higher interest levels in second hand watches maintained in the long term as the current economic climate has introduced buyers who would not have normally considered buying a used watch to the value and variety of the second hand watch market”. It will be interesting to see whether second hand watch sales return to their usual levels when the economy recovers.
