It depends on the reference, the condition, and what comes with it, and anyone who quotes you a number before seeing photos is guessing. We work from actual recent sales for your exact reference in your exact condition, with and without a full set, and we show you how we got there.

Send photos and details and you'll have a real number, usually the same day. No obligation, and no pressure if you decide to keep it.

No. A full set brings more, and we'll tell you exactly what the missing papers are costing you, but we buy watch-only pieces every month.

Papers get lost in moves, in estates, and by owners who never knew they mattered. It's extremely common on watches over ten years old and says nothing about whether the watch is genuine.

Almost always no. A full manufacturer service is expensive and rarely comes back to you in a higher offer.

Send it as it sits. If your watch is one of the rare cases where recent service history would genuinely strengthen the offer, we'll tell you before you spend the money.

We still want to see it. Scratched, unpolished, non-running, missing a bracelet link, all of it still has real value on the pre-owned market.

Just be straight about the condition and send clear photos. An honest description gets you a firm offer that won't change when the watch lands.

Don't ship until you've spoken with us. We send a prepaid, fully insured FedEx Overnight label, we can't insure or take responsibility for a package we didn't arrange.

Pack it securely, include everything discussed, and keep your drop-off receipt. It's covered end to end.

Same day, once the watch arrives and is verified. No holding period, no waiting on a consignment to move.

Payment is by bank wire, arranged with you in advance so the money lands where and when you expect.

It happens, usually innocently, an owner doesn't know a watch was polished or that a clasp was replaced. We'll call you with revised terms.

You can accept the new number or have the watch shipped straight back to you, fully insured, at no cost. You're never trapped once it's in our hands.

Yes, and it's often the cleaner path. We'll give you a trade figure and a purchase price separately so you can see both numbers rather than one blended figure that hides the math.

Consignment is an option too, for the right pieces. Ask and we'll tell you honestly which route suits your watch.
