Swiss Watch Expo?

Anyone have experience with SWE in ATL? They seem to carry TONS of options. In their review responses they say that no matter if a piece is current or vintage, they try to make sure the condition is as close to new as possible. Regarding vintage, that’s not really a good thing is it? Don’t you want vintage to be original and not completely overhauled?

Haven’t purchased from them but believe they are a reputable business. On true vintage pieces would prefer as originally as possible; on modern pieces don’t mind new parts as long as they are genuine and would not mind polishing if done correctly

I actually visited their store in ATL a few years ago. I wasn’t a fan really, as something just seemed shady. They do have a large inventory tho

They are legit - have known the owners for years and bought 3 watches since 2009.

The bulk of their sales are online. Sometimes a random visit doesn’t fulfill one’s expectation.

What I mean is the SA greeting you can make more $$$ per hour working the phone/internet than showing watches. That sometimes comes through to well-heeled prospective buyers.

My advice is know what you want. Find it on their website and push for your best deal.

Hate to dredge up old threads, but doing some research on this dealer. You say push for your best deal, but everything I've read so far is they don't negotiate. You saying they do?

I have negotiated only in person.

The art of doing that on the phone/internet is likely impossible.
