Risk Control in Second-Hand Watch Purchasing: Hoobuy Spreadsheet's Movement Longevity Prediction Model
2025-07-20
The secondary market for luxury watches has grown exponentially, with platforms like Hoobuy facilitating cross-border purchases. However, buyers face risks related to movement durability in pre-owned timepieces. This article explores how Hoobuy's innovative spreadsheet model predicts mechanical movement lifespan to mitigate purchasing risks.
The Challenge: Unpredictable Movement Degradation
Used watch movements exhibit varying degradation patterns based on:
- Maintenance history gaps
- Previous owner usage patterns
- Environmental exposure (humidity, magnetism)
- Manufacturing year and technical iterations
