Watch collection is very practical Raiders

In addition to personal taste, the two most important factors to consider when buying (and selling) second-hand watches are Make and Condition.

Second-hand watch market, high transaction prices are often from Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and Cartier and other brands. There are also many other brand names appear less frequently, but the watch is equally beautiful, but more for the recent production, it has not spread in the secondary market.

From smaller auction houses may panic specials, but be sure to check the screening in advance. Some traditional entity retailers have secondhand watch area, and set up inventory of the site inventory, of course, still based on new products. Online shopping through collectors' websites and major online shopping platforms is becoming more popular, but there are some things to keep in mind. Here are 10 tips for novice collectors:

First, carefully read the large auction houses, such as Antiquorum, Christie's, Sotheby's and Fu Yi Si's catalog. This will allow you to better track the dynamics of auction houses, learn about new product categories in the secondary market, and search for cost-effective deals for replacing old ones. Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet's timepieces, and certain models of other brands such as the Rolex, can be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars or more, but also have low starting prices for auctions or online purchases For $ 1,000 products. If the watch is not an impressive source (not celebrity owned), do not have extraordinary complexity, not a limited production release, just a simple personal favorite, then it is likely to start cheap.

Second, establish a good relationship with authorized dealers. When your favorite brand releases a limited edition watch and you happen to want to start one, the authorized dealer will provide you with inside information.

Third, understand the seller. Experienced collectors are good at online shopping, but before you need to consult an authorized dealer, a more in-depth understanding of the brand and model. Read the blog "Buyer's Note" section carefully, along with a review of second-hand watch sellers on the site. Collectors often remind each other if they encounter unscrupulous distributors.

Fourth, before buying second-hand watch, please understand if it can repair repair. Some brands, such as Patek Philippe, Blancpain, Glashütte Original and Breguet, can provide identification and repair services; other brands that are neither repaired nor supplied for antique watches, especially when the watch models are retrofitted.

Fifth, to find the transitional style. When a brand improves its series of marks, such as improving the movement, changing the material or increasing or decreasing the size, the transitional piece is the final piece of improvement before the improvement. The first style after the improvement is usually welcomed by collectors. In some cases, there is not much change in the improved style, and the former style is an exquisite workmanship.

Sixth, support for self-produced movement. Many bloggers claimed that the movement is no difference between production, then there is no difference? Yes, no. how to say? If the relationship between watchmaking brands and related movement manufacturers is good, then there is no problem, but this is rare. Movement and case each other design basis, is undoubtedly the best, it can also be clearer maintenance service by the original manufacturer.

Seven, cautious fashion. Five years ago, large watches were considered the ultimate must-haves. But now, slender retro fiery. Pure size, carbon fiber case or rubber strap, should not be judged as to whether the watch is worth starting, these factors can not guarantee the value of their own.

Eight, buy insurance for the watch collection or home safe. So you will sleep better.

Do not carve at the back of the watch, or change the appearance of the watch in any other way (such as inlaid precious stones). This may not be conducive to maintaining the value of the resale, the manufacturer may also refuse to provide services.

Ten, finally, the collection of watches and clocks should not only be for investment. Some watches will appreciate, but most will not. The real value of the watch is the unique features that ultimately benefit most likely your grandchildren, not you. Buy watches, just because they like from the heart. Also remember that the collection of four special watches, better than the collection of ten mediocre.
