FAQ

Do watches retain value?

Certain rare or limited editions may have stable demand in the secondary market, but prices fluctuate with model, condition, and economic factors—not a guaranteed store of value. This page provides verifiable neutral data only and does not constitute investment advice.

Where can I sell or appraise second-hand watches?

This site lists watch retailers, second-hand watch buyback and appraisal services across Taiwan (as of 2026-07-27), browsable by region, with data from Google Public Data.

How to authenticate a second-hand watch?

Generally verified through serial numbers, movement, accessories, and professional appraisal. Prioritize dealers with public reviews and written guarantees.

What documents are needed when purchasing a luxury watch?

It is recommended to keep the warranty card (international warranty), original box, purchase receipts, and accessories (such as extra screws for the clasp). Completeness directly affects appraisal and pricing during secondary market resale.

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

Brand boutiques sell new watches with a manufacturer warranty; watch dealers may handle new, pre-owned, and buyback services. Confirm whether they are an authorized dealer in Taiwan, as warranty terms may vary.

What should be noted when sending a watch in for repair?

It is recommended to first obtain a repair estimate, confirm the use of original parts and workmanship; photograph the watch's condition before sending it in, and keep the receipt. Non-manufacturer repairs may affect water resistance and warranty.

What does the water resistance rating on a watch mean?

The water resistance rating indicates static pressure test values, not a diving depth limit. For daily wear (hand washing, showering), 100m is generally sufficient; for swimming or snorkeling, 200m or more is recommended; for scuba diving, use a watch complying with ISO 6425 (which has a minimum rating of 100m, but most dive watches on the market offer 200m or more).
