Pre-Owned Watches that You Need to See

Since we’ve started selling pre-owned watches at WatchMaxx, we’ve had some pretty incredible pieces come through our showroom. And that’s really why we love selling them. We never really know what kind of amazing watch is going to come in next. We’d be lying if we said we didn’t bring a few home for ourselves. 

Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the current pre-owned watch selection on our site. 

Our trade-in program especially has brought in some unbelievable luxury watches of impeccable quality, and we really couldn’t be happier. 

Of course, there are those watch collectors out there who are tentative about buying pre-owned, and we kind of get that. Sometimes the knowledge that your watch is brand new can be alluring. However, every one of our pre-owned watches goes through a rigorous testing and quality assurance process, so they’re like-new anyways. 

On top of that, there are plenty of reasons that many of us actually prefer buying pre-owned luxury watches. Let’s take a look at some of those reasons right now. 

4 Reasons to Buy a Pre-Owned Luxury Watch

1. Save Money

This is the most obvious reason to buy your luxury watches pre-owned. You’re saving money. 

Much like cars, there is an almost immediate depreciation in value when a new watch is worn for the first time. By buying pre-owned, you’re skipping that and going right to the better price. 

The more money you save on your luxury watches, the more luxury watches you’ll be able to buy. That’s how we think of it, at least. 

Of course, at WatchMaxx even our brand new watches come with great deals. 

2. Sell for Equal or Higher Value

Another amazing thing about luxury watches is that, after that initial depreciation, they tend to eventually go up in value. As new models replace older ones in production, those older watches become harder to find and more sought-after. 

Essentially, any luxury watch you buy pre-owned is likely to be worth more than you bought it for a few years down the road. It almost certainly won’t be worth any less. 

And, again, that means you’ll have more money to buy more luxury watches when you get tired of them. 

3. You Can Choose from a Larger Selection

Buying new generally means you only get to pick from the current selection of modern watches. When you start looking at pre-owned pieces, you’re suddenly opening yourself up to every watch that’s out there for sale. 

Watches aren’t like computers. They’re not high-tech things that go obsolete. Watches that were amazing 40 years ago are still amazing today. In fact, depending on who you ask, they might even be considered more amazing. It’s all a matter of taste, and if your taste is older watches, then you’re going to need to be ready for some pre-owned luxury goodness. 

4. Convenience

For a lot of luxury brands out there, especially the super high-end luxury watch makers, you’re going to have to jump through a lot of hoops to get the watch you want. We’re talking waiting lists, desperate emails, and for the most fervent watch people out there, trying to bribe account representatives with bottles of wine or Rolling Stones tickets. 

When you buy a pre-owned luxury watch, you’re generally just clicking on the watch you like, adding it to your cart, and checking out. Simple, and no bribery necessary.
