Where to Save on Pre-owned Wristwatches in Cincinnati
September 12, 2020
Are you in the market for a designer watch? Don’t let sticker shock or lack of options keep you from buying the watch of your dreams. Here’s a secret: you can find distinctive, name-brand watches at Legacies, the Upscale Resale shop in Hyde Park Plaza.
And no one will guess you bought it secondhand.
There are other places in Cincinnati that sell pre-owned designer watches, but few offer the quality and variety you’ll find at Legacies. On any given day, you might find a deal on a top-brand watch, such as Anne Klein, Fossil, or Omega — or one may have just walked out our door on someone else’s wrist!
Legacies’ merchandise changes frequently, so be sure to stop by and see what’s currently in stock.
Why shop Cincinnati consignment for a watch?
Shopping for secondhand timepieces at Legacies makes sense for several reasons:
- You can find unique items not readily available elsewhere
- Vintage watches have a certain cachet that new ones lack
- Watches can be a good investment
- They are less expensive than new watches
- You skip the initial depreciation of buying a designer watch in Cincinnati
- Watch trends change, so it makes sense not to break the bank on a passing fad
Plus, Legacies’ watches are thoroughly inspected and in good working condition. With proper cleaning and servicing, you can enjoy years of wear.
Finding a timepiece in Cincinnati that makes the right statement
We can check the time on our phones any time, but the panache of a beautiful watch endures. Why?
- A watch does more than tell time and accessorize your outfit. It conveys status and expresses your taste, interests, and most of all, style. It marks you as a person of substance who appreciates highly skilled craftsmanship.
- A watch is often a cherished and sentimental possession. You might wear it daily for decades and then pass it down to your children or grandchildren.
- Some watches cost a few dollars while others can be worth more than the average American’s car. Investing in a luxury watch may be a wise choice, since rare or high-quality pieces hold value and can appreciate. The materials, colors, and design of the face and band all contribute to a watch’s long-term value and appeal.
- Switching out a band or bezel can create more customized looks and allow flexibility from season to season or for an event. Sometimes you may want to swap the watch entirely; you wouldn’t wear a clunky casual watch to a black-tie event, or an elegant dress watch to the beach.
It makes sense to think about when and where you may wear the watch you buy at Cincinnati’s Legacies. With such reasonable pricing, you just might find one for everyday and one for evenings out!
Finding great watches in Cincy
We sell vintage, casual, and contemporary watches in excellent condition at great prices. Watches are one of the few items that hold their value, so that Rolex or Patek Philippe you have your eye on may cost more than you would have hoped.
Still, you’ll find that our watches are typically priced less than retail jewelers and watch sellers in Cincinnati — typically 10 to 30% less! If you’re looking for a great deal on a beautiful, top-quality watch, buying pre-owned is one of the best options.
How Legacies ensures quality
It’s smart to know what you’re buying when shopping for a pre-owned designer watch. Not only do you want to make sure it is authentic, but also that it functions properly, nothing is stretched or damaged, and it does not have signs of corrosion or obvious wear.
Legacies takes care of the guesswork for you. Authentic luxury watches may include original packaging or documentation, serial numbers, or warranty cards. Service records from a previous owner may also be available.
Purchases that give back
The added value of buying a watch at Cincinnati’s upscale resale shop is that your purchase makes a difference. Our shop is run by a team of dedicated volunteers, and 100% of donated item sales and 50% for consigned items go directly to help support the Cancer Support Community of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Their focus is to supplement medical care with free support groups and workshops, so patients and families never face cancer alone.
When you shop at Legacies, you give back meaningfully to your community.
