Buying anything expensive is fraught with danger especially vintage watches.
The golden rule is to buy from a reputable retailer who can prove their credentials and has a good presence on the internet. A physical shop front is nice to have but the costs of running any business can literally go through the roof when you have premises and normally staff . All of these costs have to be added onto the price of the watch.
There is a golden rule in buying watches of any sort and that is you buy the seller not just the watch so here are the top 10 rules when buying a vintage watch.
We have bought many hundreds of watches over the years and whilst you can never be totally sure until you meet the seller the above rules are a good gauge to measure the outcome of any vintage watch purchase or sale and can be applied prior to arranging a visit.
There are a lot of Paypal scammers who think they can keep the Paypal funds ( which is not true ) .
They will often be selling a watch they dont actually have. The simple solution to this is to ask them to send you a picture of the watch set to a specific time . If they cant then obviously they are scammers.
