The Benefits of Buying a Pre-Owned Watch

In this video our Watch Expert Angus, explains the main benefits of buying a pre owned luxury watch, instead of buying new.

Hi, my name's Angus from the Ramsdens watch department. In this video, we'll be talking about the benefits of buying a pre-owned watch, and possibly the main benefit of buying a pre-owned watch is that the pool of watches that you have to choose from is much much larger than buying brand new. For example, we have circa 2000 watches available on our website at any time, which will be a much larger holding than what would be available in a regular high street jewellers. Another benefit of purchasing a pre-owned watch is that you have access to many discontinued pieces such as this Grand Seiko reference SBGJ227G featuring the stunning peacock dial. Also another benefit of buying pre-owned is you will get a large choice of vintage pieces and vintage Rolex & Omegas  such as this vintage SEAMaster Deville reference 135010 which can be a a much lower price entry into some very prestige brands. Another benefit of buying pre-owned is that the pre-owned retail price of a watch can sometimes be significantly lower than the new retail price. For example, we have a Hublot Big Bang in blue ceramic which has a retail price brand new of around £22,000. But as you can see here, it's available on our website for £12,999. Another benefit to buying pre-owned is that you get to skip the wait list with brands such as Rolex and get those more desirable pieces straight away.
