1. Buy from trusted sources

Do your research, look up certified sellers and only shop for high-end brands.

2. Store it appropriately

If you’re investing in a genuine gold timepiece, you’ve got to treat it like a baby. Gold is a soft metal.

The manner in which you wear it and store it can greatly impact not only the look and feel but the lifetime of the product.

3. Know your terminology

Gold comes in varying degrees of purity –the greatest being 24 karats.

In the case of watches, though, 24 karat is typically not used, because of its extreme softness.

Watchmakers prefer a more hardy 18 karat. It’s important to know what kind of gold you’re buying to ascertain value.

4. Style it right

Three simple words –dress it up.

The suave gentleman can pull off a gold watch with crisp khaki pants and a casual linen button-down, but try to keep it classy with formal dresses for maximum effect!

Give your gold watch the respect it deserves and it’ll be the best financial and fashion investment you could make!
