Thinking of Selling Your Watch?

5 Things You Need to Research

If you have a fine watch that you no longer use and it no longer has sentimental value, you probably want to sell it. But where to start? How do you know you’ll get a fair price? Luckily for sellers, the market in pre-owned luxury watches is booming. How does your watch fit in with current trends? Time to do your homework. Here are five things to research as you begin the process of selling your watch.

1. What’s the style?

What kind of watch do you want to sell? A dress watch meant to be worn with a business suit? A more sporty looking watch? Keep an eye on the trends online and in the city where you’re selling. Some areas might have a more casual preference, or more dressy.

2. What brand?

Some brands are simply trendier. You can get a sense of what’s in and what’s out at fashion webpages, blogs about watches, or online auction sites. It’s good to know going in if you have a hot brand. And the classic brands—Rolex, Cartier, Tiffany—never go out of style and never lose their prestige.

3. What about the material?

Whether your watch is gold, silver, or platinum, the raw material of your watch has value on its own. But the material alone doesn’t determine your watch’s value. Some metals are more in fashion than others; gold watches have in, out, and back in fashion for years. Simply put, the brand, the style, and the condition are the most important factors when getting a price for your watch, beyond the raw value of the metal.

4. What’s the condition?

Now you’ve researched the material, the brand, and the style. Time to look critically at your watch. Is it in good working order? Is it clean? You may need to get it repaired and cleaned before getting the best price. A professional cleaning is also recommended for best results; using the wrong method for your particular watch could ruin a delicate piece of machinery or spoil its water resistance.

5. How will you sell your watch?

Selling through an established pawnbroker or jewelry store gives you a no-hassle option: you’ll get an expert assessment of your watch, advice about its condition, and an on-the-spot offer. You also have the peace of mind knowing that you’re dealing with professionals in a safe location.
