How To Get The Best Price For Your Glashütte Original Watch
To acquire an excellent price for your Glashütte Original Watch, you must take care of your timepiece. These tips can assist you:
Take good care of it – Warm soapy water and a brush can be used to clean your Glashütte Original Watch. This, however, only applies to stainless steel bracelets. If your Glashütte Original Watch has a leather strap, it should never be cleaned with water and soap as this will shorten its service life. Avoid contact with detergents, perfumes, or cosmetics. These substances could damage the seals that help keep your Glashütte Original Watch water-resistant.
Service it frequently - Since your watch is working 24 hours a day, all year round, the components need to be well-oiled and clean. Over time, the quality of the oil degrades in Glashütte Original Watches and this can cause slight friction and deposits, negatively affecting how your watch functions. To help assess the quality of the oil and the components, you must service your watch every 4 to 5 years. During the service, the oil will be replaced and any damaged parts will be repaired or replaced. It is important to ensure your service is performed by a watchmaker certified by Union Glashütte.
Keep Your Box & Papers – Another way to help increase the amount you receive for your watch is to sell your timepiece with its original packaging and documentation. This can include warranty cards, manuals, companion booklets, etc.
Should I Service my Glashütte Original Watch before Selling it?
The short answer is no. You should not service your Glashütte Original Watch if you are considering selling it. Selling a watch that has not been serviced before the sale will allow the new owner to decide on the changes they want to make during the service.
