How Selling Your Watch to Us Works (And What to Expect)

Sell your luxury watch

A clear, pressure-free process whether you’re local or out of state

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens when you sell a luxury watch, you’re not alone. Many people assume the process is complicated, uncomfortable, or full of pressure. The truth may surprise you.


Selling your watch to us is designed to be straightforward, transparent, and fair whether you’re visiting us in person or reaching out from another state. Here’s exactly how it works.

Step 1: Reach Out to Us

The process starts with a simple conversation. If you’re thinking about selling your watch, just reach out to us directly. From there, we’ll ask you to send clear photos of the watch including the dial, case, bracelet, and any boxes or papers you may have.

This allows us to review the watch and provide a realistic estimate based on current market value, condition, and demand.

Step 2: Receive an Initial Estimate

Once we’ve reviewed your photos, we’ll provide you with an estimate. This isn’t a sales pitch or a placeholder number. It’s an honest range based on what we can see and current market pricing.

Whether you’re local or out of state, this estimate is handled the same way using the same valuation standards we apply in person.

If the estimate makes sense to you, we move on to the next step.

Step 3: Inspection (In-Store or Shipped Securely)

If you’re local, you’ll bring the watch into our store for a full inspection. This is where we verify everything in person: the movement, case, bracelet, serials, and overall condition.

If you’re out of state, the inspection follows the same standards. The difference is only the logistics, not the evaluation itself. Your watch is inspected carefully and professionally, using the same tools, processes, and criteria we apply to every watch we buy.

In both cases, the goal is accuracy—not surprises.

Step 4: Final Offer & Prompt Payment

After the inspection, we present you with a final offer. If you accept, payment is issued promptly. For in-store sellers, this is often same-day. For remote sellers, payment is processed immediately after acceptance.

No long delays. No vague timelines. No guessing.

Local or Out of State: What Never Changes

Fair Pricing Based on Real Market Value

We don’t rely on inflated listings or teaser quotes. Our offers are based on actual market conditions, condition, and demand whether the watch is inspected in person or received from out of state.

No Last-Minute Pressure

One of the biggest frustrations sellers face online is being put in a position where accepting a lower offer feels easier than starting over. We believe you should never feel pressured.

Transparent, Professional Evaluation

Whether you’re watching the inspection happen in our store or trusting us from afar, the process is handled with the same level of care. Every watch is evaluated methodically and respectfully.

Trust matters—especially when you’re selling a high-value timepiece.

Making a Confident Decision

Selling a luxury watch shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Understanding how the process works and knowing what to expect can make all the difference.

Whether you’re local or selling from another state, our goal is the same: a clear process, fair pricing, and a transaction you can feel good about from start to finish.
