[title] => Avoiding Fake Breitlings
[slug] => avoiding-fake-breitlings
[content] => Found a deal on a Breitling watch that's too good to be true? Then it probably is.
Jewelry is not only pretty, but a very worthwhile investment. However, if someone offers you something that just sounds unrealistic, then it is!
Unfortunately, the consumers are more vulnerable than others when it comes to jewelry scams.
Breitling is truly an iconic watch brand. Manufactured exclusively in Grenchen Switzerland, this was the watch that tied together the legendary wardrobe of the classic 1965 James Bond (played by Sean Connery). Need I say more? Now that's style!
There are a plethora of so-called wholesaler websites that litter the internet. However, more often than not, these are merely middlemen trying to make a quick buck. Common sense would question why a supplier could sell a watch for a tenth the actual value of the item. The harsh reality is that the exclusivity of the Breitling brand has opened up a huge underground market for counterfeit watches. They are typically bought from mainland Chinese factories, resold, and shipped by various websites. It's amazing what people go through to deceive the world.
The reason why it's sold by overseas vendors is due to the fact that such jurisdictions doesn't fund law enforcement to pursue copyright infringement. Make sure to Google the website url and name. Anything based in East or south-east Asia should raise red flags. You can also create accounts on consumer forums and ask for people's reviews on the legitimacy of a given website. If someone replies to your question, ensure that they're an established member of the community.
The easiest way to be certain that a Breitling is real is to request pictures. If you're in a store, make sure to closely examine a specimen. Salespeople will be glad to show it to you considering they can earn substantial commissions from the sales of luxury timepieces.
A dead giveaway of the watches authenticity is whether or not the logo is embossed into the dial. Furthermore, all Breitling watches have font written in German. Anything with English words is a fake, guaranteed! If the watch isn't fake it's probably bootleg. If you want to avoid associating with a criminal organization, make sure that the serial number hasn't been obscured. This is a common practice used by crooks to ensure that they're not traceable. Otherwise, they might get ratted out by a client who calls the manufacturer regarding a mechanical problem.

[slug] => how-where-to-sell-my-rolex
[content] => Have you been asking yourself "Where to Sell My Rolex", many of our customers have and here is what you need to know to make an informed decision.
There is something about a Rolex, that name has been around since 1908 with the first truly waterproof watch known as the Rolex Oyster debuting in 1926. Since then Rolex has produced over 25 models including the Submariner, Datejust and Yacht-Master to name a few.
With such a rich history the Rolex brand has a very large market for preowned watches so if your thinking how to "sell my Rolex" for cash you can feel confident that there is a watch buyer out there ready to hand you a pile of cash!
Now the hard part, should you sell Rolex on eBay, your friends Rolex dealer in NYC or a corner jewelry store with a "we buy" sign in the window?
First start with trust, search the Better Business Bureau for an accredited Rolex watch buyers in order to avoid any unscrupulous business's. If you have the box and papers make sure to bring it with you - it adds to the resale value and helps authenticate your Rolex.

[title] => Five Tips to Selling Your Watch
[slug] => five-tips-to-selling-your-watch
[content] => At Global Gold and Silver, most people sell gold, silver, and precious stones. But you can also sell watches! Global Gold and Silver accepts watches from brands like Rolex, Breightling, Cartier, along with luxury time pieces, gold and pocket 
watches. We have five tips to selling your watch for cash:
Find out how much your item costs for the new fair market value
This can be difficult if you’re selling a vintage piece, but you should do research on how much your item is currently selling for. This will help you gauge whether or not the offer you receive is accurate and fair when you do decide to sell your watch. Our expert watch buyers have the knowledge required to identify the watch, confirm its authenticity, and determine its fair market value.
Take note
Before you run off to sell your watch, do some research on the watch itself. This is especially important if you’re selling a vintage or high-end piece. When was it manufactured? Is it a limited edition? Has it been serviced in the time you’ve owned the watch? These are all important questions to research before you try and sell your watch. The answers to these questions will affect the price of your watch.
Get your watch appraised… Twice
Getting your watch appraised is always a good idea. But it’s also best to get a second opinion so you know you’re getting a 
fair price. This will help guard against not receiving the full value for your watch. Global Gold and Silver has over 40 years experience in appraising, buying, and selling watches, and will always determine fair market value, but we always welcome customers finding a second opinion. We give each customer 10 days to accept or decline our offer.
Watch the market
If your watch is made of precious materials, particularly gold, you could consider waiting a short amount of time to see if the price of gold goes up. If it does, you’ll end up getting a better price when you do sell your watch. Of course this also means that the price of gold could go down, so it’s a risk, but it could be worth it.
Look at recent payouts
When choosing a buyer, look at the recent payouts for items similar to yours. This will allow you to get an idea of how much your buyer is willing to pay for your item. At Global Gold and Silver, we offer this service for free online. It features a picture of our recent payouts, a short description, and the price.
Once you’ve decided to sell your watch with Global Gold and Silver, you can either speak with a local watch buyer, or fill out our form for a fast appraisal. With free insured FedEx shipping with up to $25,000 insurance, you can be assured that not only are you getting the best deal when you sell your watch, but also the safest.
