Everything You Need To Know About Pre-Owned Watches
At Peter Franklin, we offer a very special selection of pre-owned watches. They are the perfect fit for people that appreciate vintage jewelry. It also gives you the opportunity to style a beautiful special edition watch, that you won’t find anywhere else. Let’s learn a little more about this wonderful alternative!
What’s the meaning of pre-owned watches?
The term “pre-owned watch” is used to refer to a piece that has already had a previous owner. They can also be called vintage, and they are trendy! Styling vintage accessories has had a boom over the last years and has won many fans around the globe.
A vintage watch is a nice touch for those who enjoy an elegant ensemble with a fun side, matching different patterns and mixing colors. They are a statement piece for your jewelry box as they never go out of style. In fact, their value tends to increase with time, making them even more in-demand!
If that wasn’t enough to convince you, here are a few more advantages of buying a pre-owned watch.
You won’t be able to find certain models brand new
It’s very common that some brands release special or limited edition timepieces. They can sell out pretty fast, since they’re all highly desired. Buying a pre-owned watch is your opportunity to put your hands on a watch you’ve been wanting for so long.
This also goes for brands that don’t sell their watches online. This idea of making them accessible only for a small group, increases their value and desirability. A pre-owned luxury watch will save you the trouble of having to search and stress about finding your dream watch!
Price
Compared to a brand new watch, a pre-owned one will be sold at a lower price. Watches and cars are very similar in that way. The moment you drive your car out of the store, it’s already worth slightly less. A higher price is charged for something that has never been used.
But, there’s something no one tells you about pre-owned watches: when you wear something that is new, it starts losing value. That’s not going to happen with a pre-owned one, because it’s already had its first owner.
They have their own history
And that’s probably one of the reasons why vintage is so in style these days. A vintage watch tends to cost more over time due to its history! Imagine how many historical events your watch might have gone through: family dinners, special occasions, business meetings! Isn't it amazing to imagine that before you, your watch had its very own life?
Some highly skilled retailers are able to tell your watch history. We work with certified pre-owned watches to guarantee that it’s a trustworthy piece. Plus, they’ll look like brand new ones, since we take some time to restore and make sure everything is working perfectly.
Last, but not least: they are good for the environment
Talking about conscious consumerism in fashion is an important topic. It all comes back to the idea that when you buy a pre-owned watch, you’re stopping it from being disposed of unnecessarily. Timepieces are made with high quality materials that are meant to last a lifetime. Giving the piece a new owner, prevents unnecessary waste and environmental pollution.
This is your chance to be fashionable, eco-friendly and sophisticated all at the same time! Whether it’s for your collection or for your personal use, a pre-owned watch will bring out your personality with a sense of style.
