How much is my pre-owned Rolex or luxury watch worth?
To determine the value of your Rolex or luxury watch, we’ll take several factors into consideration. Here are some things that we’ll be looking at:
- We examine all aspects of your watch to make sure everything is working as it should
- We inspect the quality of your watch materials
- We test mechanical reliability to ensure that the time-keeping is still precise
- We look at the general aesthetic condition of the watch
- We assess market value based on comparable items
Other factors, like if you have the original box and papers, will also play a part. You certainly don’t need to have the original box and papers but, keep in mind, you’ll be able to get a better price for your watch if you can provide them. The more detail you can provide about your watch, the better. We’ll be able to get the most accurate picture of its condition and give you the best valuation possible.
Once we’ve thoroughly inspected all of the factors, we’ll present you with how much your watch is worth. We buy watches if you’re looking to sell, so let us know and we can make a top-dollar offer for your watch.
