Whether to Collect Second-hand Watch or Not

When people hear the name second-hand, most of them have not good impressions. To some extent, the name means something old. Second-hand Audemars Piguet watches

refers to the watch that has already been traded, including the old one with some defects and the new one without being worn. However, there are many watch collectors who enjoy collecting second-hand timepieces.

During the recent years, the Maurice Lacroix watches

market has been growing. It is reported that the annual sales of Singapore second-hand watch market had reached 4.7 million U.S. dollars in 2003, with ten percent increase per year since 1998.

In fact, second-hand watch is also very popular in Hongkong,Shanghai and Beijing. In Hongkong, there are some specialized shops for used watch exchange, where you can sell your old watch and the experts will evaluate, polish, clean,grind and then resell it. If the old watch is only worth 20 or 30 percent of the the original value, after the careful maintenance of the experts, it will reach 60 or 70 percent.

Why do more and more people tend to buy second-hand watch? First, the low price. The general price of used watch only equals to 50 percent of the same type being sold in the market. Second, it is more worth to put more investment in the Tudor for sale

with the style of more classic that has been less seen in the market, and this type of watch is always sold in the second-hand watch market. Indeed, the watch that is limitedly produced or already extinct in the market is worth of investment, and the auction house related to the second-hand watch spreading worldwide has been the goal of those investors.

In fact, there is not much risk in this kind of investment, since there is a large number of men who hope to have their own replica Alain Silberstein

which is a symbol of identity and reputation. For men, the watch can be worn in daily life, or passed to the next generation as the collection.

However, not all the second-hand watch can be invested in. Some watches are new from the appearance, but once opened out, they have another look: maybe the grease and components are glued together, or some mechanisms have been lost, etc. These watches can not be a good choice for investment even if their original price is relatively high.

In addition, the high price of the watch does not necessarily mean high value of being invested. In general, nearly all brands will take some adjustments in the price once or twice per year, which has been the industry's unwritten rule. Therefore, what the auction house really focus on is the inner value.

The mechanical Glashutte replica
