Hello folks,

Quick question in regards to the above.

I accompanied a friend to a pre-owned dealer in Central London today and my question is on polishing, some of their watches were pre-owned but listed as unworn. Do they have the facilities to polish the watches themselves on-site?

Cheers

Dee

Yes, many polish and service, mark up and resell, so you have to check carefully.

Happens...somebody buys a watch but never sizes it or takes off the stickers.

You gotta be careful

if there is a specific store you are curious about, I am sure some guys here have had experience with them.

My thoughts exactly... I couldn't see any stickers on the watch but the salesman insisted that it was unworn... Hence the question.

Which store is this you went to?

In the uk, pre-owned unworn simply means passed through the grey market from an AD to another seller, who cannot for legal reasons call it new. There will be stickered up though so if they are not, i would not believe it is truly new.

You buy a watch and keep it in the box in your safe..

Plenty of examples of that type of owner on every watch forum, including this one.
