Have you ever had a hard time picking out a watch? Here are some dos and don’ts of purchasing a watch, provided by The Wall Street Journal.

First, only buy a watch you’d want to wear in the first place! This way you’ll never feel like you’re stuck with it or won’t wear it! Also, buy your watch from a reputable retailer, like Central Watch. The reputation or brand of the watch you purchase will ensure you’ll enjoy decent service and back-up. It also guarantees that you’re not buying a counterfeit watch! Be nice to the retailer because in return the store will look after you and your watch for years.

Secondly, look to the well established brands. These include Patek-Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars-Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, International Watch Co. Schaffhausen and others of that sort. Many of these companies’ products become family members, and heirlooms that survive from generation to generation. Also, if you ever need to sell, these are easier to place. 

Be conservative about the watch you choose. Often times, nothing dates more quickly than a radically styled watch.

Choose a watch with a strap over one with a bracelet if your funds are limited. Bracelets add a lot of cost onto watches and on a fine watch, a strap is better than a so-so bracelet on a watch.
