We buy · High-end watches · By appointment only

We buy fine watches, judged as watches first and gold second.

A good watch is often worth more as a timepiece than as metal. At your appointment we look at the maker, model, movement, case and condition, and compare its value as a watch against its gold content before making an offer.

Good to know

Questions about selling high-end watches

Can you price my Rolex from a photo?

We evaluate every watch in person, by appointment. Authenticity, movement and condition can only be confirmed with the watch in hand.

My watch doesn't run. Is it still worth something?

Often, yes. A non-running watch can still have real value for its movement, case or gold content.

Do I need the box and papers?

They can add value for some modern watches, but they aren't required. Bring them if you have them.
