POA should never mean evasive. Used properly, it means the dealer is willing to discuss the exact watch, the exact set and the exact timing rather than pinning a stale number to a moving market.
Why the number moves
Condition, set contents, buyer timing and replacement cost all move quickly. A public price can age before the watch has even been photographed.
For private clients, POA also keeps the conversation away from a public bidding theatre. One watch, one buyer, one proper number.
What good POA looks like
A serious dealer replies with context, not mystery. You should hear what the watch is, where it is, what comes with it and what number would complete it.
If the answer stays vague, the issue is not POA. The issue is the dealer.
Discretion is useful only when it comes with a clear answer.
Every watch we publish is available for a direct conversation with the desk. If a reference in this article is close to what you are looking for, send the title over WhatsApp and we will tell you what is in the safe now.
