Pawn Watches

Our highly trained specialists carefully assess each watch and take into consideration the brand, model, condition, desirability, age, provenance, quality of craftsmanship and market value to ensure we provide you with the most accurate and up to date valuation loan estimate. The five most important factors are:

BRAND AND MODEL
This is one of the most important factors that drives value. Limited editions of either vintage or modern watches are deemed higher value and attract interest from collectors. Furthermore, certain models of luxury brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe tend to hold their value much better over time than other less prestigious watch brands.

PROVENANCE
If you have the original box, a certificate of sale or any papers that record information about your watch, this adds value. If you have lost or misplaced them, don’t worry, we will still be able to provide you with a loan estimate.

CONDITION
The overall working aesthetic condition can affect the value of a watch. We understand that over time your luxury watch might have some wear and tear, though any significant dents, scratches, repairs, restorations or other damage to the glass or bracelet can impact the value.

MARKET VALUE
We consider any recent information we can locate from auction private sale records to ensure our valuations are accurate.

We also check your watch against lost and stolen registers as part of our due diligence.

AGE
The age of your watch can have a positive or negative impact on value. Contemporary and modern watches tend to have a higher value when they are newer. Vintage watches are valued on their rarity and condition. Read more about our valuation process for watches.
