Feedback/Advice for the Watch Trading Association Show first time assist

Please, if someone knows, I'll like to have some feedback about the Watch Trading Association (WTA) show held in Munich 3 or 4 times a year.

There's all the basic information on the official website http://www.wtashows.com/ but this is paid membership I'll like profit as much as possible and avoid common mistakes, by having some tips for assisting the first time, preferabely from someone with first hand previous experience with the event, such as:

- Is it worth it?
- I've been told that only cash is accepted for purchases, any security advice? (for a buying budget of 2-3 watches between 10k-25k max)
- Any tips/comments in general
- Buying Papers/No papers
- Authentication

Not looking for all the answer but if I'm missing anything, everything is welcomed as advice.

Thank you in advance!

Are you a dealer or private collector?

Hi Christoph,

Good question.

We collect, buy sell and trade. Have little business based in Brussels dealing watches and also a private personal collection not for sale.

Thank you!

- Is it worth it? YES
- I've been told that only cash is accepted for purchases, any security advice? (for a buying budget of 2-3 watches between 10k-25k max)-
IF the seller knows you , you might pay after bank wire or deal cash at a later date. trades will be often accepted.
- Any tips/comments in general-Bring a perfume, in the summer some dealers seem not like to take showers.- there is the saturday show, only allowed in as professional.
- Buying Papers/No papers- whatever rocks your boat.
- Authentication,- YOU have to do it.
