Government Auction Network - online auction – luxury watch – watches for men

WatchChoice.com has seen a significant upturn in the last few months in the interest being directed towards luxury watches that have already had a previous owner. While some people call them second hand watches, others say “used” while others prefer “pre owned” or even “pre loved” but whatever your term of choice, the market for quality pre owned luxury watches is gaining in popularity.

As the Global Financial Crisis takes hold and the luxury watch market slows, a greater number of luxury watch buyers on WatchChoice.com are changing their focus from new luxury watches to pre owned watches. Glenn Palmer, WatchChoice.com’s Founder and Owner, says comments from Watch Choice buyers points to a number of reasons for the rise in interest in the used market. The slow economy and the uncertainty about whether the economy will decline further or when it will recover has lead to low degrees of confidence in buyer’s prospective financial circumstances. Therefore, buyers intending to purchase a luxury watch have found it harder to justify the investment and have turned to the second hand watch market as a cost effective way to acquiring a luxury watch for themselves.

Other comments from luxury watch enthusiasts shows the current financial environment has also affected their buying patterns. A number of collectors have reported they are more likely to sell one or more luxury watches from their collection to fund the purchase of their next watch where in the past they may have simply just added watches to their collection. Collectors who become sellers before buying have therefore added to the number of pre owned watches for sale.

Luxury watch buyers in countries that have recently experienced substantial currency rate drops, such as Australia, against stronger currencies such as the US dollar, English pound and the Euro have seen significantly increased watch prices. Buyers in these countries are particularly looking for the best value and are looking to quality second hand watches to meet their luxury watch needs.

Glenn Palmer says that the increased levels of interest in pre owned watches is likely to continue for at least as long as the economy remains depressed and possibly longer. He says “we could see higher interest levels in pre owned watches maintained in the long term as the current economic conditions have introduced buyers who would not have traditionally considered buying a second hand watch to the value and variety of the used watch market”. Only time will tell whether the used market remains as popular as it is now when the economy eventually returns to more positive ground.
