WATCH SPECIALIST NICHOLAS BIEBUYCK’S FIVE RULES FOR PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

1

Ensure the watch is not polished, which risks removing metal and its original finish.

2

Wear the watch carefully—keep your hand behind your back when walking through doorways and next to walls, and beware of table edges in restaurants.

3

Keep a written record of the history of the watch to ensure provenance, preferably all the way back to the original owner.

4

Request an extract from the archives of brands that have them.

5

Keep all additional boxes and paperwork.

If you follow this expert advice, you should find a way to both enjoy your watch and ensure a profit down the road. You may also make a future buyer as happy as you were to own the watch years from now.
