Back to the TopI have an appraisal — is that the price I can get for my watch?
Watch and jewelry appraisals are usually created for insurance or other purposes. They represent one appraiser’s opinion of replacement cost. The actual cash offer we may make for your watch can be different from the appraised value.
Back to the TopDoes a watch with box and papers sell for more than one without?
Box, papers, and service history can help us evaluate your watch more quickly and confidently when you sell it. For some brands and models, having them can support a stronger offer when buyers place a premium on a “complete set,” but they are not always required—we can still make a fair offer without them.
Back to the TopHow long does it take to receive my payment?
Our watch buyers are pre-authorized to make on-the-spot cash transactions. You’ll receive payment immediately if the transaction is in person. For other situations, contact us to find out the quickest payment method.
Back to the TopHow is the value of my watch determined?
The value of a watch depends on brand, model, age, condition, authenticity, and current market demand. As professional watch buyers, we do not guess—we evaluate your piece carefully so we can offer you a fair price and the most we can pay for your watch.
