Independent pre-purchase consulting
Before you wire a five-figure payment, talk to someone with nothing to sell you.
Zero commissions from sellers, no watch for sale during the consultation. You pay only for our time — and our only interest is that you buy well.
Why a consultation
In the secondary market, the buyer always pays for the mistake.
Overpaying
Without an up-to-date auction benchmark it's easy to pay thousands over real value — money you won't recover on resale.
Non-original parts
Redialed dials, swapped bezels, service-part movements: details that crush value and the untrained eye misses.
Cost of fixing it
A corrective service or a resale loss cost far more than a consultation done at the right time.
A consultation costs a fraction of the watch's price. A mistake costs a slice of it.
