When is AP going to start the 2nd hand "program"?

If I recall correctly, there has been some discussion regarding AP getting into the pre-owned AP "business" and was wondering if anyone might know when this might be active?

I've got one ROO (Rubberclad silver dial) I'd like to turn into a different ROO (Bumblebee) and know the common sell/ buy route (or usually in my case the buy first then try to sell!) but was hoping to short-cut any concerns about authenticity by being able to do the deal directly with AP.

Just sell to a gray dealer, likely same value would be offered as a trade in.

It's really the authenticity aspect of the watch that most concerns me.
Over the past 25 years of playing in the pre-owned watch game the amount$ have gotten larger and the counterfeits have also improved in quality.
I will no longer even consider watches without paperwork - recognizing that this too can be faked.

Do you trust any gray dealer worldwide if they are an "Approved Dealer" on Chrono24?

There are several trusted sellers here on the forum you could deal with. Tranh and David come to mind but there are others.
