Buying Luxury Watches in San Diego: Quick Answer

Our showroom carries authenticated pre-owned luxury watches at prices below retail. Here is what you should know:

  • Every piece is authenticated and inspected in house before it reaches the showroom floor.
  • Prices are below traditional retail because inventory comes from direct purchases rather than distributors.
  • Inventory changes constantly. What is on the floor this week may be gone next week, so calling ahead about a specific piece is worthwhile.
  • You can view luxury watches in person at our Carmel Valley showroom rather than buying sight-unseen online.
  • Layaway and lease-to-own financing are available on qualifying pieces.
  • We also buy luxury watches, so you can trade in or sell during the same visit.
