Are you solely an online retailer or do you have a physical store as well?
We proudly operate in both spheres. Our journey began with a local brick-and-mortar store in NYC, NY. The success we enjoyed in our community allowed us to expand our reach nationally and globally, becoming one of the recognized leaders in pre-owned luxury watches worldwide. Our owner was committed to ensuring that the client relationships and satisfaction that fueled our local success could be replicated on a global scale online. We believe our success in this area speaks volumes.
What enables you to provide such attractive pricing on luxury watches?
At Professor Wrist, we operate outside the restrictions of being an "Authorized Dealer" for the high-end luxury brands we carry. Authorized dealers are typically unable to sell online or offer prices below retail. We, on the other hand, have the freedom to do both. Our choice to extend these savings to you allows us to offer luxury watches at incredibly competitive prices.
What does "Authorized Dealer" or "Official Dealer" mean?
An "Authorized" or "Official" Dealer refers to a retailer who has entered into a specific agreement with a limited selection of manufacturers. This agreement entitles them to considerable discounts on the merchandise. However, as part of the agreement, manufacturers impose strict pricing regulations on these dealers, prohibiting them from offering any discounts on their merchandise.
As a result, Authorized Dealers operate with high profit margins and typically don't transfer any savings to their customers.
Furthermore, many renowned Swiss manufacturers, such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Breitling, Cartier, Hublot, IWC, Omega, Panerai and Audemars Piguet, have stringent policies preventing their products from being sold online at retail prices.
Is your website secure?
Absolutely. At Professor Wrist, we employ cutting-edge encryption technology to ensure all transactions on our site are fully secure. The personal information gathered during sales is exclusively used for billing, shipping, and verification purposes. We highly value our customers' privacy and commit to never share their information with advertisers or any third-party entities.
Can my purchased items be insured?
Absolutely, at Professor Wrist, we provide a complimentary appraisal with every watch you purchase. You can utilize this documentation to insure your item(s) through your homeowners, renters, or specific third-party insurance companies specializing in such coverage.
How can I reach out if I have queries?
We're always here to assist and look forward to helping you find the perfect timepiece. Feel free to contact us at (347) 776-9880 for any queries you might have.
How do you get your merchandise?
We purchase all of our products from other jewelry stores, authorized dealers, respected industry wholesalers and industry trade shows that feature only the highest quality merchandise. In addition, we purchase quality pre-owned merchandise from private individuals like you. Individuals nationally and abroad describe and send pictures of their watches, get a range for purchase, and send their watches for trade or cash on a daily basis. Whether they want to trade-up or cash-in, the process is easy and worry-free.

What payment methods does Professor Wrist accept?
At Professor Wrist, we prioritize payments via Bank Wire Transfer, however, we also accept all major credit cards and PayPal. Wire Transfer is a frequently chosen option by our customers, as it comes with an added discount.
Do Professor Wrists' watches retain their original serial numbers?
Yes, without a doubt. Every watch sold by Professor Wrist possesses its original serial number. We refrain from accepting or selling watches without serial numbers, nor do we engage in removing them. We, like all reputable luxury watch dealers, discourage this practice. Committed to providing the highest quality products in excellent condition, we advise against dealing with companies offering watches without serial numbers.
Does a watch from Professor Wrist come with its original box and papers?
Numerous watches in our inventory come with their original manufacturer's box and associated documents. However, in instances where the original box is unavailable, we ensure a high-quality substitute is provided. In case the manufacturer's documentation isn't available, we at Professor Wrist gladly offer a free appraisal, upon request, enumerating all confirmed details. This appraisal can serve for insurance-related needs as well.
Does Professor Wrist offer a warranty on its products?
We at Professor Wrist value your trust and aim to provide the best service possible. That's why we back all our products with a comprehensive 12-month limited warranty.
