How do we Value your Watch?

When valuing your watch, we take into account many different factors to deduce an accurate appraisal.

Manufacturer – The Manufacturer of the watch is of great importance in the valuation process. As is with most products – high end luxury brands are able to attain a higher price due to their notoriety and prestigious reputation.

Age – The age of a watch reflects many things which can help us execute a precise appraisal of the asset. Modern watches have a tendency to hold a higher value than antique and vintage pieces. However, antique and vintage watches hold a greater chance of being rare therefore more valuable to collectors.

Condition – Evaluating the condition of your watch is vital to determining it’s financial worth. Scuffs, scratches and other aesthetic damage can dramatically affect its value.

Just as missing items may decrease the value – extra items can vastly improve it. The original box would drastically improve its allure to a discerning collector.
