What We Are Looking For

You may already be familiar with the terms “full set” or “box and papers.” To collectors, a watch is at its most valuable when it is offered with its original presentation box, warranty documentation, instruction manual and any accompanying accessories that would have originally come with the watch.

This is ideal, and, typically speaking, a watch with a “full set” can sell for as much as 15-20% higher than a watch with no accompanying documentation. Our showrooms will always make a fair bid for watches without paperwork or boxes, we have our own comprehensive checks to ensure authenticity.

Our team are only looking for watches which are totally original. Unfortunately, we would not be able to make an offer on watches where they have been modified from the manufacturer’s original specifications, common examples would be an aftermarket dial or bezel.

Step 2) Watchmaker Inspection

Throughout our valuation day, one of our in-house watchmakers will be available to take a closer look at each watch presented to us for sale. This is to verify authenticity, run diagnostic checks to assess the current performance of the watch and identify any components that may have become damaged.

Step 4) Contract and Payout

To complete the purchase, we require a contract to be signed. This is a declaration from you that you are the legal owner of the timepiece, there are no outstanding charges (e.g. finance agreements) against the watch and that you are over 18 years of age. If all of this is in order and the contract is signed, we aim to pay the agreed amount by direct bank transfer the next working day.
