Buying pre-owned allows you to bypass initial retail depreciation, access rare or discontinued references, and acquire iconic luxury timepieces for a lower investment.

Yes, every pre-owned timepiece undergoes thorough multi-point inspection by watch experts to verify movement components, serial numbers, case originalities, and dial authenticity.

It depends on the timepiece, although we stand behind all pre-owned timepieces purchased at Long’s. Some pre-owned watches purchased through Long’s are backed by warranty coverage (such as the Official Rolex Certified Pre-Owned 2-year international warranty on eligible models) for complete confidence.

Pre-owned refers to any second-hand watch; vintage specifically denotes models over 20–30 years old. Watches in our Rolex Certified Pre-Owned Collection  are officially inspected, serviced, and warranted directly under manufacturer-backed standards.

Depending on reference popularity and condition, pre-owned prices can offer strong savings under original retail price or, in the case of rare collectible references, reflect true market values.

Our master watchmakers test for timing accuracy, water resistance, amplitude, and power reserve. Any necessary mechanical servicing or cosmetic ultrasonic detailing is performed prior to display.

Many pre-owned timepieces in our collection include original boxes, manuals, and guarantee cards. 

Top Swiss manufactures like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, and Omega consistently maintain high value retention and collector demand in the pre-owned market.

Yes, Long’s offers a trade-in program where you can apply the evaluated value of your current timepiece directly toward any pre-owned or new watch in our inventory.

Modern pre-owned watches offer contemporary water resistance, scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, and easy daily wear, while vintage watches offer historical patina, charm, and collector significance requiring more delicate handling.
