SwissWatchExpo Urges Buyers to Separate Price Indexes from Purchase Decisions as Secondary Watch Market Data Diverges

Atlanta-based pre-owned luxury watch retailer publishes guidance for buyers navigating conflicting market indexes, a multi-year correction in steel sports references, and rising retail prices

ATLANTA, GA — SwissWatchExpo, an Atlanta-based retailer of pre-owned luxury watches, today issued guidance for consumers evaluating a pre-owned purchase in a market where widely cited price indexes are producing conflicting signals and where several years of correction have changed what a fair price looks like.

The guidance is based on the company’s experience buying, selling, authenticating and servicing pre-owned luxury watches, including Rolex, Cartier, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and other brands. The company maintains an inventory of more than 3,000 pre-owned luxury watches at its Atlanta facility.

Conflicting Signals from Market Indexes

Buyers researching a purchase in 2026 encounter a confusing picture. The Bloomberg Subdial Watch Index, which tracks the 50 most-traded timepieces by transaction value, gained 8% across 2025 and reached its highest level in more than two years in early 2026. Other trackers tell a different story. As of mid-August 2026, the Pricing Culture Rolex Index — which follows average list prices on leading secondary marketplaces — showed a decline of approximately 5% over 90 days and roughly 22% over twelve months.

Industry trade press has documented the divergence directly. Four widely followed trackers produced materially different readings of the same period in 2025, and one index issued a public correction after a data ingestion failure produced a false readout.

The company’s position is that these indexes measure different things — some track completed transactions, others track asking prices — and that neither is a substitute for evaluating the specific watch a buyer is considering.

A Market That Has Already Corrected

The broader context matters. Secondary market values for steel sports references have compressed substantially since the market peak in March 2022, with some models trading well below their peak valuations. At the same time, Rolex implemented its customary retail increase in January 2026.

That combination has produced an unfamiliar situation. For several references, particularly common Datejust configurations and older watches, a pre-owned example can now be purchased for less than a comparable model at retail. For others, the gap runs the other way: a steel Daytona carried a retail price of $16,900 in August 2026 while market data placed current examples at roughly twice that figure.

The practical implication is that no general statement about “the market” reliably predicts what any individual reference is worth.

Company Commentary

“The most expensive mistake we see is buying a watch because an index went up,” said Eugene Tutunikov, Chief Executive Officer at SwissWatchExpo. “An index is an average across thousands of transactions in wildly different conditions. It tells you nothing about the watch in front of you — whether the case has been overpolished, whether the movement is correct for the reference, whether the parts belong together. Those things determine what a specific watch is worth far more than a directional arrow on a chart does.”

Tutunikov added that the correction has changed what buyers should be asking.

“For most of the last several years, people bought watches expecting the price to go up. That framing did real damage, because it pushed buyers toward whatever was appreciating rather than what they actually wanted to own. A correction is an uncomfortable thing to live through, but it puts the focus back where it belongs. Buy the watch you want, at a price you can verify against completed sales, from someone who has actually opened it. If it appreciates, that is a pleasant surprise rather than the reason you bought it.”

Four Recommendations for Buyers

SwissWatchExpo recommends the following for anyone evaluating a pre-owned purchase in the current market:

1. Compare against completed sales, not asking prices. Asking prices reflect what sellers hope to receive. Completed transactions for the exact reference and condition reflect what the market has actually paid.

2. Check the retail price before assuming a premium. For a number of references, the assumption that pre-owned always costs less no longer holds — and for others, retail is now the cheaper path if an allocation is available.

3. Price the condition, not the model. Two examples of the same reference can differ by thousands of dollars based on polishing history, originality of components, service record and completeness. A model-level index cannot capture that.

4. Account for total cost. Service intervals, sales tax, shipping, and any restocking fee attached to a return all affect what the watch actually costs. A purchase price is not a total price.

Additional Resources

Buyers can review SwissWatchExpo’s Authenticity Guarantee or browse the company’s current pre-owned watch inventory. The company’s non-commissioned watch consultants answer questions from owners and prospective buyers regardless of whether a transaction is involved. Clients can also view the exact watch they are considering through a FaceTime consultation or an in-person appointment at SwissWatchExpo’s Atlanta showroom.

Buying a Luxury Watch This Holiday Season? Goldbro Timepieces Explains How to Time It Right and Skip the Seasonal Markup

As gift-season demand pushes watch prices higher, Las Vegas curator Aaron Klausman shares when to buy, when to wait, and how to avoid overpaying during the busiest stretch of the year.

LAS VEGAS — With the holiday shopping season underway and fine watches climbing gift lists everywhere, Goldbro Timepieces is helping consumers make a smarter, better-informed purchase. The company’s message is simple but valuable: the timing of a luxury watch purchase can influence the price nearly as much as the choice of watch itself, and knowing the market’s seasonal patterns can save buyers a substantial sum.

“There’s a rhythm to this market that most casual buyers never notice,” said Aaron Klausman, CEO of Goldbro Timepieces. “Demand rises and falls through the year, and so does pricing. If you know the pattern, you can buy at a smart moment, or at least walk into the holiday rush with your eyes open instead of overpaying under pressure.”

Why Holiday Prices Run Hot

Data on seasonal buying makes the pattern clear. As the holidays approach, demand for luxury watches as prestige gifts intensifies through October and November, with shoppers competing for the same in-demand models. That competition tends to hold secondary-market prices firm and moves quality inventory quickly, leaving buyers little leverage to negotiate.

“November is when value is hardest to find,” Klausman said. “You’ve got the maximum number of buyers chasing the same watches at the same time. Prices stay high, the good pieces disappear fast, and there’s pressure to commit before you’ve really researched. If getting the best price matters more to you than unwrapping it in December, that’s the month to be most careful.”

The Quiet Months Reward Patience

The bigger opportunity, according to Klausman, lies in the calmer stretches that bracket the holiday frenzy. Seasoned collectors deliberately favor times of lower demand and higher inventory, and two periods consistently stand out.

January leads the list. In the weeks after the holidays, many owners trade in current watches to help fund new purchases, sending a wave of high-quality pre-owned pieces into the market. With supply up and the crowds gone, buyers enjoy better selection and more room to negotiate. Late summer, around August, offers a similar lull and similar advantages for those willing to wait.

“If you can be patient, January is a gift to the smart buyer,” Klausman explained. “The market fills up with excellent trade-ins right when most people have stopped shopping. Less competition, more choice, better pricing, that’s the combination every experienced collector looks for.”

Buying a Gift This Season? Do It Wisely

For shoppers set on purchasing during the holidays, Klausman is quick to say the seasonal premium shouldn’t discourage them, but it should keep them disciplined.

“A fine watch is a truly special gift, and if this is the moment for you, embrace it,” he said. “Just be prepared. Decide on the exact reference in advance, learn what it’s genuinely been selling for, and don’t let holiday urgency talk you into overpaying or skipping authentication. The excitement of the season is exactly when people cut corners, and that’s how a wonderful gift becomes a costly mistake.”

He points to one clear holiday advantage of buying pre-owned: no waiting. “So many desirable new models sit behind long waitlists, which does you no good when you need it wrapped by a certain date. On the pre-owned market, you can get the precise watch you’re after immediately, frequently at stronger value than retail.”

Timing Helps, Fundamentals Win

Whatever the season, Klausman reminds buyers that good timing supports the basics but never replaces them. Every purchase should rest on real completed-sale data rather than inflated asking prices, on authentication of the watch itself through hands-on, movement-level inspection, and on buying from a transparent seller who stands behind the piece.

“Timing is the bonus, not the foundation,” Klausman said. “The foundation is always the same: buy something you love, at a fair price, that you know is authentic and original, from someone accountable. Get those right in any month of the year and you’ll never regret the purchase. That’s our whole philosophy. Our job isn’t to sell you a watch, it’s to earn your trust. That’s been our standard since 1895.”

For buyers weighing whether to act now or wait for the quieter windows ahead, Goldbro Timepieces offers the same guidance it gives every client: lead with research, patience, and authentication, and the right watch, at the right price, will follow.

How Seniors Can Find Affordable Housing That Supports Independent Living

For many older adults, maintaining independence means having a safe and affordable place to call home. Finding affordable senior housing can help seniors manage living expenses while remaining connected to their communities and everyday routines.

The search should begin with an honest assessment of financial and lifestyle needs. Seniors and families should consider monthly income, housing costs, transportation, accessibility, healthcare needs, and proximity to family or community services.

Independent senior housing may be appropriate for older adults who can manage most daily activities but prefer a community designed for their age group. Other housing options may provide additional supportive services while still allowing residents to maintain personal independence.

Seniors with limited income should investigate income-based and subsidized housing programs. Local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations, senior centers, and community agencies may provide information about available programs and application procedures.

Accessibility is another important consideration. Features such as elevators, ramps, accessible bathrooms, adequate lighting, and transportation options can make a significant difference in long-term comfort and safety.

Families should also ask about application requirements, waiting lists, deposits, utilities, community rules, and additional fees before choosing a housing arrangement.

Finding affordable housing can take time, so starting the search early is beneficial. Comparing multiple options can help seniors find a home that balances affordability, safety, independence, and quality of life.

Mental Health Support for Veterans Experiencing Stress, Isolation, or Difficult Life Transitions

Life after military service can involve significant changes. Veterans may experience relocation, career changes, family adjustments, financial pressure, or a loss of the structure and community associated with military life. For those experiencing stress, isolation, or difficult life transitions, finding appropriate mental health support can make an important difference.

Stress can affect sleep, concentration, relationships, motivation, and everyday functioning. Some veterans may also experience persistent anxiety, depression, grief, trauma-related symptoms, or difficulty adjusting to civilian environments.

Support can take many forms. Counseling and therapy can provide professional guidance, while peer-support programs can connect veterans with people who understand military experiences. The VA offers mental health treatment and peer support for a range of concerns, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and readjustment challenges.

Community organizations and Vet Centers can provide additional support. Vet Centers offer confidential counseling and readjustment services for eligible veterans and their families.

Veterans can also strengthen their support networks by staying connected with trusted family members, friends, fellow veterans, mentors, and community organizations.

Seeking help does not mean a veteran has failed to cope. It means recognizing that support can be useful during challenging periods.

What Is Personal Care Assistance and Who Can Benefit From These Services?

As individuals age or experience health challenges, everyday tasks that were once simple may become more difficult. Personal care assistance provides essential support that helps individuals maintain independence while receiving help with daily activities and personal needs.

Personal care assistance is a type of non-medical home care service designed to support individuals with activities of daily living. Caregivers may assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, mobility, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and other routine tasks that help maintain a safe and comfortable home environment.

These services can benefit many individuals, including seniors aging in place, adults with disabilities, individuals recovering from illness, and veterans who need additional support with daily living. Personal care assistance allows individuals to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving dependable help tailored to their needs.

One of the greatest benefits of personal care assistance is the ability to promote independence. Instead of replacing a person’s abilities, caregivers provide the right level of support that allows clients to continue participating in their daily routines.

Families also benefit from knowing their loved ones have professional assistance and companionship when they cannot always be present.

Signal Health Group provides compassionate personal care assistance services focused on dignity, respect, and personalized support. Our caregivers help clients maintain their comfort and independence while improving their overall quality of life.

If you or your loved one needs dependable personal care assistance at home, visit https://signalhg.com today to learn more about Signal Health Group’s services.

Finding Trusted Veteran Home Care Programs for Elderly Veterans and Their Families

Choosing the right care provider for an elderly veteran is an important decision for families. Veterans deserve support from professionals who understand their unique experiences and provide care with respect, compassion, and commitment. Trusted veteran home care programs help families ensure their loved ones receive dependable assistance while remaining comfortable at home.

When evaluating a veteran home care provider, families should consider caregiver training, experience, reputation, communication practices, and the ability to create personalized care plans. A reliable provider should focus on the veteran’s physical, emotional, and personal needs.

The best veteran home care programs provide more than basic assistance. They promote independence, encourage meaningful daily activities, and create a supportive relationship between caregivers and veterans. Quality care should help veterans maintain dignity while receiving the support they need.

Families should also look for providers who understand the importance of honoring military service. Respectful care recognizes each veteran’s background, preferences, and values.

Signal Health Group provides compassionate home care solutions designed to support veterans and their families. Our caregivers are dedicated to helping veterans live safely, comfortably, and independently at home.

Whether your loved one needs assistance with daily activities, companionship, or ongoing support, having a trusted care partner can make a significant difference.

As Tariffs and Rising Retail Prices Reshape the Watch Market, Buyers Turn to Authenticated Pre-Owned Timepieces — Goldbro Timepieces Explains Why

With new Swiss watch prices climbing and a new watch losing value the moment it leaves the boutique, Las Vegas curator Aaron Klausman makes the case for pre-owned as the smarter, more stable legacy asset

LAS VEGAS — A structural shift is underway in how Americans buy luxury watches, and Goldbro Timepieces is helping consumers understand it. With import tariffs and record material costs driving new-watch retail prices to permanent highs, a growing number of buyers are concluding that an authenticated pre-owned timepiece is the smarter, more stable way to own a lasting asset — one that skips the immediate depreciation of buying new.

“When a new watch costs more than ever and loses value the day you buy it, an authenticated pre-owned piece simply makes more sense,” said Aaron Klausman, CEO of Goldbro Timepieces. “You own the watch and the value — not the markup. Buyers are realizing they can acquire the exact reference they want, at a more rational price, without paying a premium just to take the first depreciation hit themselves.”

A Permanent Reset in New-Watch Pricing

The math changed quickly. For decades, Swiss watches entered the United States under low, stable import duties of roughly 2 to 3 percent. That norm was upended in 2025, when a new tariff spiked as high as 39 percent before settling at a formalized 15 percent — still far above the historic baseline and now widely regarded as permanent.

Brands responded with successive price increases. Across most major Swiss names, 2026 U.S. retail prices sit roughly 5 to 10 percent higher than late 2024, with precious-metal models absorbing cumulative increases near 20 percent once tariffs and record gold prices are combined. Rolex alone raised prices three times in a single twelve-month span, its January 2026 adjustment averaging about 7 percent — roughly 5.6 percent on steel models and 9 percent on gold. Industry analysts are unanimous on one point: in luxury goods, prices rarely come back down.

The Hidden Cost of Buying New

Those elevated retail prices are only half the story. For the large majority of references, a luxury watch loses a meaningful share of its value the instant it leaves the authorized dealer and becomes “pre-owned.” Only a narrow band of highly sought-after sports models escapes this — and those are precisely the pieces that are hardest to obtain new, often carrying multi-year waitlists.

“Buying new in 2026 means stacking two costs on top of each other,” Klausman explained. “You pay today’s inflated, tariff-driven retail price, and then you personally absorb the steepest, earliest depreciation. An authenticated pre-owned buyer lets the original owner take both hits, and steps in at a far more sensible price for the very same watch.”

Why Pre-Owned Sidesteps the Premium

Because tariffs apply to new watches crossing the border, the secondary market is not tied directly to import duties. As new retail prices rose, the gap between new and pre-owned widened, making pre-owned comparatively more attractive — and, for many models, more accessible. Dealers across the country have reported the shift firsthand, with some noting their strongest sales weeks of the year and double-digit growth in average pre-owned order values.

“This has been a rare moment where pre-owned offers not just better value, but better access,” Klausman said. “No waitlist, immediate availability of current, discontinued, and vintage references, and a price that reflects the watch — not the import math.”

A Stable Legacy Asset — With One Caveat

Having skipped the steepest early depreciation, a well-chosen pre-owned watch bought at a fair price sits on more stable footing, and functions as a genuine heirloom: a mechanical timepiece can be serviced and worn for generations, then passed on. But Klausman is candid that the pre-owned advantage depends entirely on one thing — authenticity.

“Counterfeits are more convincing than ever, and a genuine watch can be altered into something it isn’t,” he said. “The rule never changes: authenticate the watch itself, not the paperwork. Box and papers support a story; they never prove it. Real certainty comes from opening the watch and verifying the movement and every component.”

That process is exactly how Goldbro operates — authenticating every timepiece by hand, at the movement level, and pricing against real market data. “Our job isn’t to sell you a watch,” Klausman added. “It’s to earn your trust. That’s been our standard since 1895.”

Mental Health Is Now the #1 Telehealth Diagnosis Across Every U.S. Age Group — Nevada, with the Worst Mental Health Provider Shortages in the Country, Depends on Virtual Care More Than Almost Anywhere Else

As new FAIR Health data confirms mental health has become the leading virtual care diagnosis nationwide, PRISM Medical Care founder Nika Asistio, APRN, FNP-C, addresses why Nevada residents are turning to telehealth for depression, anxiety, and everyday mental health support — and what the state’s severe workforce shortages mean for access

Henderson, NV — PRISM Medical Care, a Nevada-based virtual primary care practice founded by board-certified family nurse practitioner Nika Asistio, APRN, FNP-C, today addressed newly released national data showing that mental health has become the leading telehealth diagnosis across every U.S. age group and every U.S. census region. According to the FAIR Health Quarterly Telehealth Regional Tracker released June 15, 2026, 52.1% of patients with a telehealth claim in Q1 2026 received a mental health diagnosis — with overall telehealth utilization rising 10.1% quarter over quarter. For Nevada residents, where mental health provider shortages are among the worst in the country, these findings reflect a healthcare reality that has been visible on the ground for years.

The National Data — and Why Nevada Feels It Most

The FAIR Health data represents one of the most comprehensive looks at how Americans are actually using telehealth. Mental health conditions have topped the list of telehealth diagnoses for months, but the Q1 2026 report confirms mental health is now the leading category in every single age group and every single census region — a national pattern that reflects both increased demand and the practical reality that virtual visits often work better for mental health care than traditional in-person encounters.

Nevada residents live at the sharp edge of this national trend. The state consistently ranks at or near the bottom of every mental health access ranking in the country. According to federal data:

• 38% of Nevada residents live in mental health provider shortage areas designated by the Health Resources and Services Administration
• 100% of rural Nevada counties face mental health provider shortages — there is not a single rural county in the state with adequate behavioral health workforce coverage
• Nevada consistently ranks among the bottom 10 states for mental health access, treatment availability, and workforce per capita
• Psychiatric appointment wait times in the Las Vegas Valley routinely stretch 3 to 6 months
• Rural residents frequently face multi-hour drives to reach any mental health provider

The gap between mental health need and mental health workforce availability is genuinely severe. For Nevadans experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, burnout, stress-related concerns, or grief, the traditional in-person system has been unable to meet demand for years. Telehealth has emerged as the practical alternative — and the FAIR Health data confirms this pattern is now permanent rather than temporary.

Why Virtual Care Works Particularly Well for Mental Health

The clinical evidence supporting telehealth for mental health conditions has matured substantially. A 2025 systematic review published in Cureus found telehealth outcomes comparable to in-person care with no increase in adverse events. Patient satisfaction with virtual mental health visits consistently exceeds 90%. Research demonstrates that virtual care improves engagement with mental health treatment for multiple structural reasons:

• Privacy protection. Patients discuss sensitive concerns more openly when they don’t have to walk into a mental health clinic where they might be seen by neighbors or coworkers.
• Reduced no-show rates. Removing transportation barriers, waiting room time, and time-off-work requirements dramatically improves appointment adherence.
• Faster access. Same-day and next-day appointments allow patients to seek help when they’re actually ready, rather than months later after the urgency has passed.
• Continuity of care. Established virtual relationships with the same provider produce better long-term outcomes than fragmented in-person care across rotating providers.
• Comfort of familiar surroundings. Discussing anxiety, depression, or stress from a safe personal space often produces more honest, productive clinical conversations than sterile clinic environments.

How PRISM Medical Care Addresses Nevada’s Mental Health Gap

PRISM Medical Care serves Nevada residents statewide with mental health support integrated into comprehensive primary care. The clinical scope includes evaluation and management of:

• Depression and anxiety
• Sleep disorders and insomnia
• Stress management and burnout
• Grief and adjustment disorders
• ADHD evaluation and management for adults
• Medication management within primary care scope
• Coordination with therapy providers and psychiatric specialists when indicated

Importantly, PRISM integrates mental health evaluation with comprehensive primary care assessment — recognizing that many mental health symptoms have underlying medical contributors including thyroid dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, hormonal shifts (particularly during perimenopause), sleep apnea, chronic pain, and medication side effects. Treating apparent mental health symptoms without evaluating these medical contributors frequently produces incomplete outcomes. Integrated primary care addresses both.

Practical access details: PRISM patients are typically seen within 24 to 48 hours of booking. Same-day appointments are frequently available. Self-pay pricing is transparent: $150 initial visit, $100 follow-up, $75 focused follow-up. Medicare accepted. All visits happen through Tebra, a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record system encrypted to federal healthcare privacy standards. Same provider on every visit — Nika Asistio, APRN, FNP-C.

Federal telehealth policy protects mental health access. Recent Congressional action preserved Medicare telehealth flexibilities for mental health services through 2027. Established behavioral health patients receiving telehealth care are considered established under Medicare rules and are not subject to the annual in-person visit requirement.

A Statement From Nika Asistio, APRN, FNP-C

“The FAIR Health data confirms what we’ve been seeing in Nevada for years — patients need mental health support, they can’t access it through the traditional in-person system, and virtual care is the only realistic alternative for a substantial share of the population,” said Nika Asistio, APRN, FNP-C, founder of PRISM Medical Care. “When 38% of Nevada residents live in mental health provider shortage areas, when every rural county in the state lacks adequate behavioral health workforce, when psychiatric appointments book six months out — telehealth isn’t a convenience. It’s often the difference between getting help and going without.”

“What I want Nevada residents to understand is that primary care providers can effectively evaluate and manage a substantial portion of mental health concerns — anxiety, depression, sleep issues, burnout, stress — particularly when we’re also looking at the medical factors that frequently contribute to these symptoms,” Asistio continued. “You don’t have to wait six months for a psychiatrist to start getting help. You don’t have to walk into a mental health clinic. You can talk with a board-certified family nurse practitioner from the privacy of your home, get a thorough evaluation, and start on a treatment plan within 24 to 48 hours. That’s the kind of access every Nevadan struggling with their mental health deserves.”

Important Clinical Note on Scope

Asistio emphasizes that responsible virtual mental health care requires honest scope. Severe psychiatric conditions, active suicidality, psychosis, severe substance use disorders, and complex psychiatric medication regimens require specialist care. PRISM coordinates referrals to psychiatry and therapy providers when specialist evaluation is appropriate. For patients in mental health crisis, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or go to your nearest emergency room.

The Rise of the Woman Collector: How Women Are Reshaping the Luxury Watch Market — and How Goldbro Timepieces Is Meeting the Moment

As women’s demand outpaces the broader market, Las Vegas curator Aaron Klausman explains what today’s female collectors want, and how Goldbro helps them buy with confidence

LAS VEGAS — One of the most significant shifts in the luxury watch world isn’t about a single model or brand — it’s about who is buying. Women are entering the fine-watch market as collectors, investors, and enthusiasts in record numbers, and Goldbro Timepieces is helping this fast-growing group of buyers navigate their options with clarity and confidence.

The numbers tell the story. Industry trackers value the women’s luxury watch market at roughly $43.7 billion in 2026, and women’s demand is climbing faster than the market average. More telling than the size is the nature of the shift: women are increasingly buying watches for themselves, on their own terms, rather than receiving them as gifts or as one half of a matching “his-and-hers” set. Many now approach a fine timepiece the way they would a work of art or a milestone purchase — a considered expression of their own achievement and taste.

“This is one of the most exciting developments in the entire market,” said Aaron Klausman, CEO of Goldbro Timepieces. “For a long time, the industry treated women as an afterthought — smaller cases, some diamonds, and not much else. That era is ending. The women walking through our door today know exactly what they want, and they’re buying serious watches for themselves. It’s long overdue, and it’s reshaping the whole category.”

The End of the “Ladies’ Version”

Klausman notes that the change is visible in what women are actually choosing. Rather than defaulting to small, decorative pieces, many female buyers are gravitating toward versatile mid-size models — often in the 31 to 36 millimeter range — including steel sports and classic references that were never designed for one gender at all. Coveted pieces like the Rolex Lady-Datejust, colorful Oyster Perpetuals, the Cartier Tank, and even larger sports models are all drawing strong demand.

“The best watch brands have stopped making watered-down ‘women’s versions’ and started offering genuine choice,” Klausman said. “A woman today might want a 31-millimeter Datejust, or she might want a 36-millimeter steel sports watch with a screw-down crown. The point is that it’s her decision, based on her wrist and her style — not on what someone assumed she’d want.”

What Women Collectors Want — and Where They Need Guidance

As more women make significant watch purchases, Klausman says the questions they bring are sharp and practical: How should a watch fit? Which references hold their value? Is a pre-owned piece a smart way to buy? These are exactly the areas where Goldbro focuses its guidance.

“The most common thing I tell any new collector, and it applies here, is to buy what you genuinely love first, and treat resale value as a bonus rather than the reason to buy,” Klausman explained. “That said, some watches do hold or increase in value better than others — certain steel Rolex and Cartier pieces have historically been very strong. Part of our job is helping a buyer understand where those two things overlap, so she ends up with a watch she adores that also makes sound financial sense.”

Sizing, he adds, is where many first-time buyers feel uncertain. “There’s no strict rule. We often suggest starting somewhere in the 28 to 36 millimeter range for smaller wrists, but personal preference matters far more than any convention. The right size is the one that looks and feels right to the person wearing it. We help people try that judgment out rather than dictating it.”

Helping Buyers Avoid Costly Mistakes

With more buyers entering the market, Klausman is candid that the risks are the same ones that catch anyone new to fine watches — and that the right partner is the best protection. “Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, the pitfalls don’t change,” he said. “Overpaying because you looked at asking prices instead of real sale data. Buying a watch that turns out to be altered or not original. Trusting paperwork instead of authenticating the watch itself. Our role is to make sure none of that happens.”

That protection is central to how Goldbro operates. Every timepiece is authenticated through hands-on, movement-level inspection and priced against real market data, and clients receive honest guidance rather than pressure. Because Goldbro buys, sells, trades, and sources, it can also support collectors as their tastes evolve over time.

“Every collector deserves to be taken seriously and guided honestly,” Klausman said. “That’s true no matter who you are. Our job isn’t to sell you a watch — it’s to earn your trust. That’s been our standard since 1895.”
