Luxury watch dealers can choose to be the good guys or the bad guys. Luxury is a Manichean industry built on trust due to the money and value involved. Trust is hard to gain and easily lost. Tonight, Tim Mosso discusses eight luxury watch dealer abuses, how to recognize them, and how to avoid them. Whether you buy your next watch from The 1916 Company or not, we want to be a point of reference for the industry. This is a buyer's guide for watch buyers of all budgets and tastes.
Tim Mosso started buying watches at age 22 following his college graduation. Watch number one was a Swiss made Bulova Accutron Spaceview purchased from Time Source Jewelers in Huntington. Since that first watch, Tim has bought a host of his own watches and witnessed tens of thousands of watch sales through The 1916 Company. But it's the feedback from fans and clients that has shaped Tim's view of the luxury watch retail industry.
From forced bundling of unwanted watches to brusque salesmen to prejudice on the showroom floor, Tim has seen it all or heard it all. This episode focuses on the ways that luxury watch buyers can protect themselves from common abuses at the retail level. Often, the worse can happen when a watch is shipped to a distant seller with no strings attached - or money is sent to a dealer who doesn't have the advertised watch in stock. Other times, factory boutiques ignore significant purchases of same-brand watches purchased through conventional authorized dealers; no purchase history is acknowledged despite hundreds of thousands spent!
If you have ever considered buying a luxury watch, this buyer's guide is for you!
All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"
