In October 2021 eBay officially launched its Authenticity Guarantee service in the UK.

It sees watches being sold with a price tag of £2,000 or more being inspected for authenticity by a middle man on their way between the seller and buyer.

If the watch you are selling is £2000 or more it MUST go through this process. It is not an option.

This takes place after the purchase and before a watch is shipped to the customer.

All of this cost is covered by eBay.

But what does this mean for the watch industry..?

How does it affect the luxury watch market…?

What does it mean for us as a watch enthusiasts and collectors who buy and sell watches..?

And what does it mean for me as a watch business - a professional buyer and seller..?

In this video Marcelo Bustamante from Prestige Watches talks about it.

My name is Marcelo. I am a Watch professional from Kings Langley, Hertfordshire, England.

My passion is helping watch enthusiasts to make, and save money with their watch-goals.

I like saving people hassles and headaches, and their valuable time, when it comes to buying and selling their watches.

My mission is to share my knowledge, provoke thought and guide watch lovers through the different processes, helping avoid the pitfalls and perils in buying and selling watches - which can be fun and enjoyable - but there are also risks.

I pride myself on being a trustworthy person to do business with; a dependable, hard working gentleman with a righteous soul, crazy high integrity levels and a positive outlook on life.

My working style has always been built on my crystal clear values; integrity, dependability, honesty and hard work, and it’s important to me that I protect my reputation every day as a reliable person to do business with.

If you have any questions about any of my items for sale or my services please feel free to drop me a message.

CAMERA: https://amzn.to/3BB4Xqm
My fav camera 🥰. A love of my life. My third child (I only have two human children).
There can only be one choice. This is a middleweight camera. I loved the smaller brother (M50) and I have no interest in rolling with the big boys and their cameras. So for me - this is the one!
