"What is the current condition and health of my watch?”
“Does it need a service?”
“Are all components original?”
These are the fundamental questions all watch enthusiasts ask.
Questions about the origin, history, and past ownerships – including any modifications or transactions – are crucial as this information not only impacts the watch's financial value but also influences the buyer's emotional connection. Provenance is paramount to collectors and transparency, traceability, and trust are the cornerstones of building collector confidence.
