Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will I receive an offer for my watch?
After you submit your watch details, our specialists review the information and current market conditions. In most cases, you’ll receive a preliminary offer within 24–48 hours.
What determines the value of my watch?
Several factors influence valuation, including brand, reference, condition, market demand, completeness (box and papers), and recent sales activity. We use real-time market data alongside expert evaluation to arrive at a fair and competitive offer.
Will my offer change after inspection?
The initial quote is based on the details you provide. Once the watch is physically inspected, the final value is confirmed. If there are discrepancies in condition or originality, we’ll clearly explain any adjustments before moving forward.
Do original box and papers affect the price?
Yes. Original packaging, documentation, and accessories often increase desirability and value. While not required, complete sets typically receive stronger offers.
How long does payment take after acceptance?
Once the evaluation is complete and terms are finalized, payment is usually issued within 1–3 business days, depending on your selected payment method.
What payment methods are available?
We offer multiple secure payout options, including wire transfer and other approved methods. Details are confirmed with you before finalizing the transaction.
Can I trade my watch instead of selling it?
Absolutely. You may apply the agreed value of your watch toward another timepiece from our collection. Trades are handled with the same transparency and care as direct purchases.
Is shipping insured and secure?
Yes. If shipping is required, we provide insured and trackable solutions to ensure your watch is protected throughout transit.
Where can I find my watch's reference number?
The reference number is typically engraved on the case back or between the lugs of the watch. It may also be listed on the original warranty card, box, or purchase documents. If you’re unable to locate it, you can still submit your request—our team can assist with identification based on photos and other details.
How do you ensure authenticity and transparency?
Every watch is carefully inspected by experienced professionals. Authenticity is never compromised, and all evaluations are conducted using a clear, market-driven approach.
