• Buying a luxury watch can be very expensive, but shopping online is one way to possibly save money.
• While you may have a fear of being scammed or duped with a counterfeit watch, there are several places that will help you get the best price on new and used watches, many of which have been authenticated by experts.

While a wristwatch is a nice way for anyone to complement their style, luxury watches in particular are often looked at as a symbol of status.

Luxury watches are without a doubt expensive, but even if you have the finances to purchase your dream watch, you shouldn't just buy from anywhere. While walking into a jewelry store is usually safe in terms of authenticity, it will likely cost you even more due to a combination of retail markups and salespersons taking advantage of your lack of knowledge.

One of the best ways to save a few dollars on your high-end watch is to shop online. Spending thousands of dollars online and risking getting scammed might scare some people out of upgrading from the trusty Casio or Seiko, but when you shop at the right places, you can rest assured that your watch has gone through an authentication process — and that you got it for the best price possible.

Whether you're looking for a vintage Rolex Presidential from the '80s, a Panerai, Tudor, or any other brand, these are the best places to shop. We've done the research to find the best online destinations for watches while taking into consideration authenticity, prices, availability, and overall shopping experience.
