1. Only buy watches you want to wear. That way you'll never feel like you're stuck with an 'investment piece.' 1. 只买你愿意戴的手表，这样你永远也不会觉得好像被一件投资品困住了手脚。 2. Buy from a reputable retailer. This will ensure you'll enjoy decent after-service care. Also, it's the only guarantee that you're not buying a fake. Some rip-offs are so convincing that only a watchmaker can spot the difference. 2. 在声誉好的零售商处购买。这将确保你能够享受到充分的售后服务。而且这是确保不会买到假货的唯一保证。一些假冒商品简直能以假乱真，只有钟表制造商才能甄别。 3. Be nice. If you form a rapport with a retailer, the store will look after you over the years, even helping you to upgrade or trade-in watches while reducing the sting of depreciation. 3. 要友善。如果你与零售商保持良好的关系，商店将会经年累月地关照你，甚至会帮你升级或折价更换手表，减轻手表折旧给你带来的痛苦。 4. If you're relatively unadventurous, look to the established brands. Patek Philippe, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin among others. They haven't survived for one or more centuries through luck. They also enjoy better resale value if you need to part with them. 4. 如果你相对而言不爱冒险，应关注知名品牌，例如百达翡丽(Patek Philippe)、积家(Jaeger-LeCoultre)、爱彼(Audemars Piguet)和江诗丹顿(Vacheron Constantin)等等。它们能流芳百年以上并非只凭运气。如果要将它们出手，它们转售时的价值也更高。 |
