In this video men's style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of www.iamalpham.com, www.aaronmarino.com and www.peteandpedro.com talks about how to effectively and safely buy used or pre-owned luxury watches. You can save a lot of money on high end watches by knowing where to go to buy pre-owned luxury watches. Don't get ripped off!
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:
Recommended Used Luxury Watch 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.

    Have you looked into smartwatches at all? I'm a mechanical watch guy but I gotta admit some smartwatches are starting to look really stylish nowadays. Huawei watch is one example. I got the Zenwatch 2 because of the price, and because the design seems pretty adult (genuine leather, rose gold crown, etc). Gotta say I'm pretty happy with it, especially now that Apple is making it popular

  • @Disinf3ctant

    Buying a fake watch is not only extremely pretentious it's like buying a photocopy of the Mona Lisa and telling people its the original. You have nothing that makes the original so special, the fact that there's a limited number, that fact it was maticulously hand painted, the famous artist behind it, and the history and pedigree of such a piece. Even if no one else knew these details, all of that would surely make you smile everytime you walk past it in your hallway. And that is what you pay for. If you can't afford/ don't think it's worth it nothing wrong with having an ordinary but good looking painting aka a seiko or fashoin watch. But faking it is fucking cringe worthy.

    The real mona lisa is never displayed. People also study and google the mona lisa image inline without ever seeing it in person. You cant even get close to the painting at the lourve because of the security barrier so it cant even be appreciated. Get a swiss ETA copy and a rolex store needs a loop to tell the difference. You want perfect time? Check your phone, everyone has one. Unless youre swimming in money, theres no need for an original if you know where to get the high end 1:1 copy.

The one that I've got cost me just a bit over the 500 mark and to me, that's the best watch I could ask for. Had it for years and enjoy it each time I put it on. But then again, some people want to prove their social status to others by spending that type of money on a watch. I, myself, would rather spend 30k or whatever the high end prices are on a car of my liking instead on a watch that simply sits on my wrist and shows me the time whenever I need it. But hey, to each his own.

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).

    +Bob “bassmaster3145” Saget Because why pretend to own something you actually don't? It's honestly better to just buy a 'homage' watch which is essentially a carbon copy of a popular watch brand design, sans the logo. Counterfeit goods are just flat out wrong. A commonly replicated watch design is the classic Rolex Submariner, you can find dozens of brands with the same design as the sub, with their own logos on it.

    +Asdaw W. Maybe I am wrong here, because I bought my last watch 20 years ago (Junghans Mega Solar, which was 990 German Marks at the time), but if an expert walks - like any other customer would - in to a high street shop and wants to examine a watch before buying it, I don't think they would let you pop it open to examine the clock work... so while an expert could tell a fake apart when performing an open heart surgery on it in his own time at home or for professional purposes, he cannot do so in a store. Who wants to buy a watch as "new" after the shop owner has allowed a seemingly random customer, or any number of customers, to pop it open casually, but then not buy it anyway for whatever reason?! But maybe I am wrong - I happen to live in London - I could swing by that shop he mentioned in the vid - do you think they will let me have a look at the works of a 10K Pounds watch if I pretend to wanting to buy it?

    He's certainly right about going pre-owned. I used to always buy new, but took a big hit when selling. There are many reputable pre-owned dealers with like-new watches at nice discounts. Some watches are 30% off retail with the plastic stickers still on them, with box and papers. I would make one comment about one of the Urban Gentry's suggestions, and that is Tourneau. Yes, they are very reputable, but they are quite expensive. Better deals can be had elsewhere.

    So, my friend. Always asked me why do I like watches and for me it is a personal statement of who you are. I could not get a Rolex Mil Sub because they are Extremely rare and few were only issued to the Royal Navy. One sold at auction for 100k. I loved the looks of the watch and ended up with a Steinhart which is an amazing homage of that watch. Watches are also a personal item and right of passage for your accomplishments in life. Expensive luxury pieces don't last you a life time, but generations and it is a part of you that your family can cherish. That is why they are worth it.

I bought my Rolex Submariner a little over a year ago and pretty much wear it 24/7 except for the gym (mostly because of kettle bells or else I would). Thought about it for 10yrs and saved for a year too. I read the Rolex Forum for about a year and bought a brand new one from a trusted seller on that forum and saved about 20% off retail plus tax. I love the videos thanks for the encouragement!!
