The Watch Evaluation Process

When you bring in a luxury watch, we examine it thoroughly:

We identify the brand, model, and reference number. We check the movement (automatic, manual, or quartz), the case material (stainless steel, gold, platinum, two-tone), and the dial type and condition.

We inspect the bezel, crystal, crown, pushers, and bracelet for wear, damage, or replacement parts. Original, unpolished watches in good condition typically command the best offers.

We check for original boxes, papers, warranty cards, and hang tags. Having these can significantly increase the value of your watch.

Factors That Affect Watch Value

Several elements determine how much your luxury watch is worth:

Brand and model are the starting point. A steel Rolex Submariner and a gold Day-Date will be valued differently. Reference number matters — certain variations are more collectible.

Condition is critical. Unpolished cases, original dials without patina or damage, and bracelets with minimal stretch are worth more. Replacement parts (non-original service parts, aftermarket bezels) can reduce value.

Box and papers matter more than many people think. The original box, warranty papers, manual, hang tags, and even the cosmograph sticker can add hundreds or thousands to the offer.

Market demand fluctuates. Some models are in high demand and command premium prices, while others may take longer to sell. We track current market data to make fair, competitive offers.

Do You Need Box and Papers?

Having the original box and papers is not required to sell your watch, but it can significantly affect the offer.

Box and papers provide authentication and provenance. For buyers on the secondary market, a watch with full set (box, papers, warranty card, tags) is easier to sell and commands a premium — often 10% to 20% more than a watch without them.

If you don't have the box or papers, we still purchase your watch. We authenticate it through the watch itself — serial numbers, movement details, dial characteristics, and other telltale signs.

If you're considering selling, take time to locate any original documentation. Even a warranty card with a date can add value.
