How do you choose the right dealer for pre-owned watches?

The market for used luxury watches in Copenhagen and the rest of Denmark is growing. But with more players on the market, it can be a challenge to find a dealer you can trust. Here are some important pointers for choosing the right partner for your next watch purchase – and why it pays to be selective.

Expertise and industry knowledge

A serious dealer of pre-owned watches has more than just a stock of exclusive models – they also have in-depth knowledge of the history, authenticity and market value of the watches. At Stæhr Preowned, we build on over 75 years of industry experience from Stæhr A/S, giving you access to advice on a level you won't find everywhere.

Documented authenticity and service history

When buying a used luxury watch, you should make sure that the watch has been thoroughly checked and documented. All watches with us are verified by experts and come with a traceable history, so you know exactly what you are buying.

Transparency in pricing

Some dealers offer low prices – but forget to mention lack of service, wear and tear or non-original parts. With us you get transparency from the start. You can see what comes with boxes, certificates and service, and we always advise honestly on value and resale potential.

Physical presence and secure trading

Unlike purely digital players, we are based in Copenhagen, where you are always welcome to see and try on the watch physically – in a safe and professional environment. This creates trust, which is crucial when investing in a pre-owned watch.

Access to unique models

We have access to some of the most sought-after models from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Omega – often in a condition where you can barely tell that the watch has been used. We also offer fully restored vintage watches, which are offered as if they had just come from the factory. Our network and experience means that we can help you find exactly the watch of your dreams.

When you are looking for pre-owned watches in Copenhagen and the surrounding area, it is not only the price that should be decisive – but also trust, quality and expertise. At Stæhr Preowned, we invest in the long term relationship – not in the quick sale.
