You may still buy the watch but you will not get any surprises when it is time to let it go. I would not consign a watch as it drags on the process and the pain. In the end the consigner may not be able to move it and you are back to square one. Find the watch you want through a reputable dealer and trade your watch and eat the difference. You will be done with the experience and have a new watch to console you. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

This is some of the best advice I've read on TRF. Spot on!
