What's Covered

Everything you need to buy smart

Every consult is tailored to your situation. Here's what we typically work through together.

Budget & Financial Readiness

Is this the right moment to buy? We'll talk honestly about whether the price point makes sense for where you are financially β€” no judgment, just clarity.

Which Reference to Buy & Why

Not all references are created equal. We'll narrow down the right watch for your taste, goals, and budget β€” and I'll tell you exactly why.

New vs. Pre-Owned

The grey market is full of opportunity β€” and risk. We'll discuss whether new or pre-owned is the better move for your specific target.

Where to Buy Safely

Authorized dealers, trusted grey market platforms, auction houses β€” I'll tell you where to look and who to avoid so your money lands safely.

What to Avoid

Overhyped references, predatory dealers, poor value-retention traps. I'll flag the mistakes I see people make repeatedly so you don't have to learn the hard way.

Collection & Lifestyle Fit

How does this watch fit what you already own β€” and who you're becoming? We'll make sure your next purchase is intentional, not reactive.

Who It's For

This consult is for you if...

You're considering your first serious watch purchase and want to get it right the first time.

You've been burned by hype before β€” an impulse buy you regret, or a purchase that didn't hold its value.

You want an honest second opinion before committing real money β€” someone who has no incentive to upsell you.

You value intentional purchasing over impulse buying β€” and want your watch to mean something, not just fill a gap.

Ian β€” Own The Watch

Why Me

I'm not a dealer.
I'm a buyer β€” like you.

I wear a Rolex Explorer II 226570 that I researched obsessively before buying. I've spent two years writing about watches, wealth-building, and intentional spending for 6,500+ subscribers at Own The Watch.

I hold an MBA and I'm a CFP candidate. I understand how a watch purchase fits into a broader financial picture β€” not just as an object, but as a decision.

I have no brand affiliations. No dealer relationships. No commission. My only incentive is to give you a straight answer.

FAQ

Common questions

How long is the consult?

The call is 45 minutes. That's enough time to get into real depth without wasting your afternoon. I'll also send you a written summary of our key points and recommendations afterward β€” so you have something to reference when you're ready to buy.

What format does it take?

A 1:1 video call via Google Meet or Zoom β€” whichever you prefer. You'll get a booking link after checkout to pick a time that works for you. Come with your questions ready, and I'll bring the research.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. If you leave the call feeling like it wasn't worth your time and money, I'll refund you in full β€” no questions asked. I'm not interested in keeping money from someone who didn't find value. That's the only way this works honestly.

What happens after the call?

Within 24 hours I'll send a written recap β€” the specific reference(s) we discussed, where to look, what to watch out for, and any relevant links. You'll have everything you need to move forward confidently, on your timeline.
