Start with the actual item
Buying pre-owned luxury begins with identifying the model, size, material, colour, condition and available item. Similar-looking versions are not necessarily interchangeable. Photographs of replicas must not be presented as photographs of an authentic item being offered.
Compare prices under matching conditions
Compare the same model and size in a similar condition, and record the quotation date, currency, repair history, accessories and additional costs. An asking price is not necessarily a completed sale price. An old number in an article should not be treated as a current market quotation.
Separate authentication from suitability
Detailed photographs help document wear but do not replace professional inspection. Confirm the inspection and dispute terms for the specific transaction, then consider capacity, strap fit and weight. Describe services accurately without inventing partnerships, stock availability or value-retention guarantees.
Revised guidance: verify the actual item, quotation and service terms before purchasing.
