Selling Ladies Watches In The UK

• Step 1: Gather information on your ladies watch
• Step 2: Find a reputable ladies watch buyer
• Step 3: Get a final price
• Step 4: Get paid

 

Step 1: Gather Information

The following characteristics of your ladies watch will influence its resale value:

• Brand: Contrary to popular belief, not all luxury watches appreciate in value. Some luxury brands perform better on the second-hand market than others. Since their inception, brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe have produced luxury watches of excellent quality and maintained a high level of brand prestige and value.
• Model: A watch’s model number tells you which collection the watch belongs to as well as the timepiece’s characteristics. Certain vintage and limited-edition models can have high demand from collectors who willing to pay impressive amounts for these timepieces.
• Condition: The quality of care you gave your ladies watch will positively or negatively affect its resale value. If your watch is damaged, missing pieces or repaired with parts from other brands, its value will be lower. However, if your watch has been well taken care of, its resale value will be strong.
• Servicing: Have you serviced your ladies watch in the last 5 years? Getting your watch regularly serviced is imperative for its performance. Overtime, the pieces of your watch may wear down and its oil can dry up. A professional watchmaker will completely repair, oil and clean your timepiece. Be sure to keep your servicing receipt to demonstrate to potential buyers that your ladies watch has been professionally maintained.
• Box and papers: These are the box and papers that your ladies watch came with when purchased. They attest to the authenticity of your timepiece, add value and make the selling process smoother. Watch collectors prefer to buy watches, especially vintage and special edition timepieces, with their box and papers in good condition. However, you can still sell your ladies watch without its box and papers.
