How selling your watch works
- Step 1Send photographs
The dial straight on, the caseback, the side of the case and the bracelet or strap, with the brand and any reference and serial. Add the box, papers and service records if you have them.
- Step 2Free valuation
Our watch specialist identifies the watch and replies with an estimate, subject to inspection, within one working day.
- Step 3Choose how we see it
Book an appointment at 47 Maddox Street, Mayfair, London W1S 2PG, or at our Braintree office, Unit 20B Lakes Industrial Park, Braintree, Essex CM7 3RU. Or send it by Royal Mail Special Delivery, with the postage refunded, or arrange a free FedEx collection from your home.
- Step 4Paid same day after inspection
We inspect the watch, confirm the offer and, once you accept, pay by bank transfer or in cash that day. If you decline, it comes back to you at our cost.
What we look at when we value a watch
We do not quote a figure before we have seen your watch. Photographs are enough to start.
- The maker and exact reference
- The model name is only the start; the reference identifies the watch.
- The movement
- The correct calibre for the reference, and whether it runs.
- Originality
- The dial, hands, bezel and bracelet, and on vintage watches whether the case has been polished.
- Box, papers and service history
- We buy with or without them.
- Ownership
- We ask for photo ID and proof of address, check the watch against a stolen watch register, and ask you to sign a short declaration that it is yours to sell.
Five things decide the value
- Referencewhich exact model it is
- Movementthe right calibre, and whether it runs
- Originalitydial, hands, bezel, unpolished case
- Conditionwear, dents and the crystal
- Box and papershelpful, never essential
Sell your watch in person
Many sellers prefer to hand a watch over in person. We see clients by appointment at our Mayfair address in central London and at our Braintree office in Essex. If you are near either, see our pages to sell your watch in Essex and sell your watch in Ipswich. Elsewhere in the UK, we collect free from your home.
47 Maddox Street, London W1S 2PG. No shopfront, so please book before you come.

Questions about selling a watch
How do I sell my watch?
Send us photographs of the dial, caseback and bracelet with the brand, model and any reference and serial. We reply with a free valuation within one working day. Then bring the watch to Mayfair by appointment or our Braintree office, post it, or book a free collection from home. You are paid the same day after inspection.
What watches do you buy?
We buy Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Breitling, TAG Heuer, Longines, Zenith, Seiko, Ebel, IWC and many other makers, modern and vintage, as well as pocket watches, gold watches and Albert chains. Working or not, with or without the box and papers. Each brand has its own page.
How much is my watch worth?
It depends on the maker and exact reference, the movement, the condition and originality, and whether you have the box, papers and service history. We do not quote a figure before we see the watch. Send photographs and the reference for a free valuation, with a reply within one working day.
Do I need the box and papers to sell my watch?
No. We buy watches with or without the box and papers. We check the watch itself: the reference and serial, the movement and calibre, and the case, dial and bracelet. Papers support the value and confirm the date of sale, but their absence never stops a sale.
How fast do I get paid?
You are paid the same day after inspection, once a price is agreed, by bank transfer or in cash. At a Mayfair or Braintree appointment that happens during your visit. A watch sent by Special Delivery or collected by FedEx is inspected on arrival and paid for that day. If you decline, we return it at our cost.
Where can I sell my watch in person?
At our Mayfair address in London or our Braintree office in Essex, both by appointment. We also see sellers from across Essex and Suffolk, and buy from anywhere in the UK through a free collection from your home. Appointments are private, with no queue and no shop counter.
Is it safe to post a watch to you?
Yes. We arrange a free FedEx collection from your home, insured up to £10,000 per parcel, or you can send it by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we refund the postage against your receipt. Wrap the watch securely, include any box and papers, and keep your tracking number until we confirm it has arrived.
Where is it best to sell a watch?
That depends on the watch and how quickly you want to sell. A direct buyer gives you an agreed figure and same-day payment after inspection; auctions and consignment can take longer and charge fees. Our guide on where to sell a watch in the UK compares the options, so you can decide what suits you.
