But if peace of mind is important, shopping at Tourneau will give you plenty of it. All their pre-owned watches are recently serviced and authenticity isn't a concern at all.
That said, there are other "brick and mortar" sellers of pre-owned watches that are equally reliable, but few have as many locations as Tourneau. Another nice thing about Tourneau is that if you see a watch on their website, they will have it sent to whatever store you find convenient, so you don't have to buy the watch sight unseen.
All the best.

I bought my Oris NIB from Tourneau and got a 8% or 9% discount (i cant remember). At first when i mentioned i wanted a discount the manager looked at me a little shocked, probably because he thought I was just some 23 year old kid who hit it big at the casinos (i went to the the one in vegas) and wanted to blow his winnings on a watch. But after I told him that every AD gives discounts (except for maybe one of a kind PP or AD) he understood that i was at least semi knowledable about how buying at an AD works and he was more than happy to give me the 8/9% discount.
