Audemars piguet royal oak 15300

How to buy a Royal Oak for 2,500 pounds

All customers want more value for their money, and if you can help them to buy an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak for less than a quarter of what some newer versions retail for, how could that not be a win-win situation for both sides?

It sounds impossible but you can educate your customers to use pre-owned watches to trade their way up to the watch of their dreams. Not only does it help them achieve wristwear above their current budget, it helps you to gain repeat business.

Still not convinced? Read on for Watchfinder’s step-by-step guide compiled from retrospective data from its site of how (if they’d started their journey in 2006) one of your shoppers could transform £2,500 into one of the greatest watches ever designed.
