FAQ

Do watches hold value?

Some rare or limited-edition models have relatively stable demand in the secondary market, but prices fluctuate with style, condition, and economic climate—they do not consistently appreciate. This page provides only verifiable neutral data and does not constitute investment advice.

Where can I sell or authenticate pre-owned luxury watches?

This site lists watch retailers, pre-owned watch buyers, and authentication services across Taiwan (as of 2026-06-20). Browse by region; data sourced from Google Public Data.

How to verify authenticity of pre-owned luxury watches?

Typically confirmed through serial numbers, movements, accessories, and professional authentication. Prioritize dealers with public ratings and written warranties.

What documents are needed when purchasing a luxury watch?

It is recommended to keep the warranty card (international guarantee), original box, purchase receipts, and accessories (e.g., spare buckle screws). Completeness directly affects authentication and valuation during resale.

What is the difference between an authorized watch retailer and a brand boutique?

Brand boutiques sell new watches with manufacturer warranty; watch retailers may offer new, pre-owned watches and trade-in services. Verify if the seller is an authorized dealer in Taiwan, as warranty terms may vary.

What should I note when sending a watch for repair?

Obtain a repair estimate first, confirm the use of genuine parts, photograph the watch before service, and keep the receipt. Non-original repairs may affect water resistance and warranty.

What do watch water resistance ratings indicate?

The rating is a static pressure test value, not a diving depth limit. For daily wear (hand washing, showering), 100m is sufficient; swimming or snorkeling requires 200m or more; scuba diving needs a 300m+ diver’s watch certified to ISO 6425.
