Suggestions On Where To Buy
eBay
My perennial favorite place to buy most everything is eBay. The online purchasing and auction powerhouse is the 9th most visited website in the world (According to Alexa.com). I love eBay because of their amazing selection of NEW and used watches. Everything they have is based on individual sellers or stores, so they don't have everything, but it is a "MUST CHECK" before almost any purchase. eBay will often has items that no one else has, and the best deals will be found there, bottom line.

Amazon
What used to be the world's biggest book store is simply now the world's biggest store. Amazon.com has an impressive amount of watches from a ton of brands. Many are from Amazon partner sellers, but you get Amazon's shipping and purchasing system which is top-notch.

You'll be glad to know that Kenmar Watches has you covered on tons of watch brands. The site makes it easy and enjoyable to explore their many brands, and you'll surely discover new ones that interest you. Kenmar also has really good prices, so you can capitalize on the power of e-commerce watch discounts. You'll also get complete customer service and great return policies.
Russia2All Russian Watches
Russian made watches are very “in” and present good values in good-looking watches. Many Russian made watches such as Vostok and Poljot have reliable mechanical movements and designs that split between very modern and what I call ldquo;Soviet classic.” Russia2All.com specializes in interesting Russian watches from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. Many of the watches even feature Russian made mechanical movements. This is the best site to survey the range of modern Russian watches.
Ashford Watches
When you've been selling watches online since the 1990's you know how to do it right. Ashford is a luxury watch retailer whose experience and industry foothold provide you with excellent customer service, free shipping, and no hassle returns. Their sales are always worth checking out, especially around the holiday seasons.
