Frequently asked questions about selling watches

To be able to make you a binding purchase offer, we need to inspect your watch on site. You can simply drop by with your watch at one of our showrooms, or send it in safely by post.

Our watch experts check the brand, model, condition, and accessories in order to carry out a well-founded valuation. You will then receive our purchase offer—transparent, fair, and without obligation.

We buy luxury watches from leading brands, including Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Breitling, Omega, IWC, TAG Heuer, Cartier and many more. If you are unsure whether your watch is eligible for purchase, simply contact us—we will be happy to advise you!

Of course, we also accept faulty watches. First, we check whether a repair is worthwhile. If a repair should not be worthwhile, we will make you a fair offer for all working parts of the watch. Our clear assessment process enables you to understand our offer in full and to feel confident in your decision.

We buy watches from both private individuals and dealers. Whether you want to sell a single watch or, as a dealer, have a larger range on offer – we provide a transparent appraisal and a fair offer to buy.

The value of your watch depends on several factors, including brand, model, condition, age, original accessories (box & papers), and current demand on the market. Our watch experts carefully assess all these aspects and carry out a well-founded market analysis in order to make you a fair purchase offer in line with the market. Thanks to our many years of experience and our international network, we can determine the best possible price for your watch.

No, the sale is also possible without the original papers and box. However, having certificates, warranty cards, the original box, or other accessories can increase the value of your watch and have a favourable effect on the purchase offer.
