Favorite places to peruse watches?

Post by Robotaz »

It’s been a long time since I tried to expand my horizons and find new places to look through, and possibly buy, watches.

One of my favorites these days is Gnomon Watches. I’ve bought several from them. I like them and think they have a lot of cool watches.

Remember Militare Watch? I’ve always gotten a kick out of that place.

What are your favorites?

This won't come as a surprise to anyone who has seen my channel before... But my favourite place is AliExpress.

Haha! Of course!

Thanks for adding that to what I hope becomes a list for others.

Some of those are.... something. :shock:

I usually browse the "usual" places (eBay, ShopHQ, Ashford, etc), but I'm always open to more.

When Ashford had $3,500 Zenith El Primeros and $1800 Elites I was there every day drooling. Now I generally pop in to see Hamiltons and move on, but they are an AD for multiple brands now and offer incredible value as such.

AD or authorized I don't analyze
Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

Actually realized I forgot:

- Iguana Sell
- Indiegogo
- My Gift Stop

And there's probably a few more I'm overlooking.

I bought the new Seiko MM300 from relojesdemoda.com.

It’s in Spain and is an AD for what they sell.

Good people, too.

For me it's Yahoo auctions, Rakuten Japan, ocarat, purchase direct, and watchexchange. But 95% of my purchases will be from Yahoo or Rakuten
