Frequently Asked Questions
No. All offers are completely non-binding.
You are never obligated to proceed, and there is no pressure to accept. The decision to move forward is entirely yours. We invite you to request a cash offer or begin a trade-in request. Alternatively you may learn more about selling your luxury watch, trading in your luxury watch, or explore luxury watch consignment.
Once your submission is received, we typically complete evaluations within 24 hours.
If additional details are needed, we’ll reach out promptly to keep the process moving smoothly. Get your cash offer or request a consultation.
Quotes remain valid for 30 days from the date issued, allowing you time to decide without pressure.
Offers are based on a combination of factors, including overall condition, completeness (box and papers), current market demand, and recent comparable sales.
Each evaluation is done manually to ensure pricing reflects real market conditions—not automated estimates. Get your cash offer.
In most cases, the final value matches the initial quote.
A change would only occur if the watch’s condition or included items differ materially from what was submitted, or if a previously undisclosed service issue is identified.
If the final value changes for any reason, you always have the option to accept or have the watch returned at your request.
You are welcome to decline. There is no obligation. Even if the watch has already been shipped to us, we will return the watch to you and cover the cost of shipping and insurance.
We will send you a pre-paid, fully-insured shipping label. You will just need to package the watch according to the packaging instructions provided in addition to the label, and take it to the closest appropriate shipping location for drop off.
Every shipment is fully insured for 100% of the quoted value.
We provide a secure, prepaid shipping label and clear packing instructions to ensure your watch is protected from door to door.
After the watch arrives and undergoes final verification, we will send your payment within 72 hours. Request your cash offer.
No. There’s no need to service your watch before submitting it.
We assess timekeeping and mechanical condition upon arrival. If service is required, it’s factored into the valuation and handled after purchase. Request a consultation.
It depends on the brand and model. In most cases, original papers are more impactful than the box.
While missing accessories can affect value, many watches trade successfully without them. Any impact is discussed transparently as part of the evaluation. Contact us for a consultation.
We specialize in luxury timepieces from the world’s most respected watchmakers, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Richard Mille, Omega, Cartier, Tudor, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Hublot, Panerai, Breitling, TAG Heuer, and more.
If your watch is outside these brands, we still encourage you to submit it—many pieces fall outside standard categories and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Yes. We accept international submissions and will coordinate shipping and insurance details on a case-by-case basis.
If the value of your watch(es) is determined to be more than the watch you're trading towards, we will pay you the difference via wire transfer, ACH, or check. Learn more about trading in your watch toward something exceptional. Begin your trade-in request.
The reference number can typically be found on the warranty card, original papers, or occasionally engraved on the watch case or caseback.
If you don’t have the papers, that’s okay—simply include clear photos of the watch, including the caseback, and we’ll help identify it during evaluation.
In some cases, there may be flexibility. We’re always happy to discuss the offer and walk through how it was determined.
