Just a heads up on the second hand resale shops -- their pricing is not that great but deals can be found if you look long and hard enough. Post COVID my wife and I have been amazed at just how the prices are for resale watches -- they were high before but now they are approaching the levels of new! I'm partial to Breitling and while my wife is looking at the resale LV / Chanel stuff I'm walking over to the watch case! It's a great way to find unique or special watches -- but just be warned you won't get a warranty and the prices may not be as sharp as you might think -- Japan is a different animal entirely with resale! Yes the quality is high and authenticity is verified -- just be prepared for some sticker shock...

Also -- the entire watch industry has seen a massive increase in value -- the waiting lists for new rolexs can be years long -- and the used ones being sold I have seen priced above the cost of a new one!
