What decides the value
- A pawn is a loanYou borrow against the watch and pay interest until you repay.
- You can redeem itRepay the loan and interest within the term and the watch is returned.
- A sale is finalYou are paid for the watch and owe nothing.
- The figures differA loan is based on what can be lent safely, a sale on what the watch is worth to a buyer.
When pawning a watch suits
If you need money for a short time and want to keep the watch, a pawn loan does that. Read the agreement, check the interest and the term, and be sure you can repay. If you do not, the watch can be sold to cover the loan.
When selling suits
If you no longer wear the watch, selling avoids interest altogether. A specialist values the model, the reference and the originality, and you can still decline the offer.

What our sellers say
“Excellent service. Contacted Mozeris and corresponded with Faustas. Responded immediately to my email to sell a 20g gold bar and a half sovereign coin. Received an offer and after a few further email exchanges to finalise, I posted with special delivery and was paid out shortly after they received the items.”
“I was apprehensive about selling my mother's omega watch but the whole process was straightforward and reassuring. Faustas was extremely helpful and understanding and the communication was very quick. The money agreed was in my account within hours of accepting an offer.”
“Fantastic guys, pay on spot and very very professional.”
Questions about selling pawn or sell a watch
Is it better to pawn or sell a watch?
Pawn it if you want it back and can repay the loan with interest. Sell it if you do not, because you are paid for the watch and owe nothing.
Do you offer pawn loans on watches?
No. We buy outright. You receive a free valuation and are paid the same day we inspect the watch and you accept.
Do pawn shops buy watches?
Many do, and many lend against them. Ask whether the figure is a loan or a purchase, and compare it with a specialist watch buyer's offer.
How do I send it to you?
Book a free insured FedEx collection from your door, or post it by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we refund the postage. Both are tracked and insured to £10,000.
When am I paid?
