No obligation. Free to enquire.

Inheriting a luxury watch, often at a difficult time, raises three questions: what is it, what is it worth, and where can you sell it fairly? We answer all three. Our specialists identify the reference and era, research the current secondary market for that specific model, and give you a written offer that sets out our reasoning, so you can check it independently before deciding anything.

The process

01

Share photos and details

Photos of the dial, the case and any markings on the caseback or bracelet clasp are helpful. We can often identify a watch from photos alone.

02

Expert identification and review

Our specialist identifies the reference, era and current market value, researching secondary market data for that specific model and condition.

03

Indicative offer in 48h

You receive an indicative offer within 48 hours, explaining what the watch is and how we arrived at the figure. The firm offer follows within 24 hours of the watch reaching us.

04

Same-day payment

Accept and we arrange for you to send the watch to us separately, not in our standard pack. Payment is by same-day bank transfer when you accept before 3pm.

Common questions

I don't know what make or model the watch is. Can you still help?

Yes. Share photos of the dial, the caseback markings and any paperwork you have. Our specialists can usually identify a watch from photos and will tell you exactly what you have before making any offer.

Will I get a fair price even if I don't know the watch's value?

We give you a written offer that sets out our market reasoning, including the comparable secondary market data we used. You are welcome to check it independently before accepting anything.

Do I need the box and papers?

No. Many inherited watches come without documentation. If you do have the original box, papers or service records, they can increase the offer, but they are not required.

Is the process confidential?

Yes, completely. We handle estate and inheritance valuations regularly and treat every transaction with full discretion.
