What to check before buying
- Ask for the serial and reference numbers privately, never in public photos.
- Compare the dial, hands and bezel with official reference photos for that exact reference.
- Ask for the most recent service receipt and who carried it out.
- View in person where possible, or have an independent watchmaker inspect it before paying.
