Luxury Watch Buying Tips | How And Where To Buy Pre-Owned Luxury Watches

Sixteen years ago, Alpha was thumbing through a GQ magazine when he fell in love with the Rolex Milgauss. He thought it was beautiful, but the price-tag was something he couldn't afford. This watch has always been sitting in the back of his mind. You may also have similar luxury timepiece you love like this that is out of your price range.

You can find deals for luxury watches on the Internet; however, the counterfeit luxury watch market is tough because it's difficult to differentiate between the real and fake. You have to buy from a reputable place. In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro reached out to Tristano from The Urban Gentry to discuss where to purchase pre-owned luxury watches.

Tristano advises to research the BBB. The company should not have a rating lower than a B+. The company should also have pictures that match what you're buying. Further, watch out for Frankenstein watches which have real pieces but also some kind of foreign/fake pieces. Their reputation is everything. Two resources for seasoned watch buyers are eBay and Chrono24. He does not advise CraigsList! Otherwise, Tristano recommends these three dealers:

Watch U Want
Tourneau
Watch Finder


After 16 years of dreaming, Alpha has his watch. It was expensive, but he has enjoyed it! Luxury watches are great, and there are incredible, less-expensive versions. If you can find a pre-owned luxury watch, it can be just as amazing as buying it new. Just don't get ripped off.

It's as if you're a mind reader, I've been wanting to buy a fashionable watch for a while now and most of the time the brand new ones are very expensive. You're super helpful as always. Loving your videos, never stop making them.

Mine was the Tissot T- touch. (keep in mind I was 12 when I saw it for the first time) I bought it 2 months ago after 8 years of waithing it through the shop windows. Can't get if off my hand now

I'm a girl but for some reason I'm obsessed with your channel. Idk why it's just awesome even though you are speaking to men.

[sergeykichuk]

[FatalityTutorials]

Woah! Wasn't expecting to see TGV on here. That's awesome.

[Dreadmantisthend]

Dude that Rolex is gorgeous. I'm glad to see that you've finally gotten your hands on one.

[RamiroR]

Rolex Submariner with the blue face is my dream watch.

[michaeldproject]

Great choice! I fell in love with the Milgauss too, just waiting for the right time when I've accomplished enough to reward myself with it.

I currently own an Omega Seamaster. My next watch will be the Jaeger-LeCoultre master ultra thin. My holy grail watch which I will probably never be able to afford is the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Calibre Opaline

A preowned Grand Seiko is an absolute bargain for a luxury watch. A quick search will give any prospective watch-geek all the needed information on these magnificent, unknown gems.
I sold a Glashutte Original, Senator Karree (with a moon phase) to fund my Grand Sekio, and I have absolutely no regrets (especially since I had money left over after purchase).

[jonnyishere]

I'm in love with the "OMEGA Dark Side of the Moon" and I'm dead broke.

[SuedRapier]

This video helped me pull the trigger on getting my first Rolex at 21 years old. I got a pre owned black on steel Submariner. Thank you!

[tikiduck]

Rollie Millgaus is one fine assed watch. That green crystal just knocks me out.
Currently rocking an Omega Seamaster 300, and love it, but always have that Millgaus on my mind.

[hardtruthswithremyandluca]

I think a luxury watch is a must have. but only if you can afford it and the rest of your wardrobe is taken care of.
