    Send us your watch, or stop by our Tysons office

    Prefer to ship? We email you a prepaid, fully insured label. Pack the watch, drop it off, and it stays covered door to door until it reaches us, so there is no risk on your end.

    Rather do it in person? Stop by our office in the Tysons area of Vienna, VA. You can watch the evaluation happen, ask questions, and get answers on the spot. In-person visits are by appointment.

Why our offer may differ from "ask" prices

  1. Asking price is not market value. Marketplace "asks" get negotiated down. Overpriced watches sit, so the real sale prices are lower.
  2. Platform fees are real. Most platforms take roughly 6 to 9 percent when an item sells.
  3. We prep to our standard. Many watches need polishing, regulation or servicing, and pressure testing, plus insured shipping for online sales.
Example: a $10,000 listing price, and the realistic net
Marketplace ask$10,000 Negotiated sale (−10%)$9,000 Fees (−8%)−$720 Prep, service, insurance (est.)−$300 to −$800 Dealer net before overhead$7,480 to $7,980

A fair cash offer has to account for these costs and a reasonable retail margin.
