a bespoke service for people wishing to part-exchange a luxury watch
We offer a bespoke service for people wishing to part-exchange an existing luxury watch or potentially trade down and free up some cash while still having a timepiece to enjoy. The process of watch exchange is the same as the process of selling your watch to us. We are able to inspect and value your watch, check it against The Watch Register, and get the cash and watch to you the next day. If we are sourcing a watch for you we can discuss the most suitable way to do this.
Upgrade Your Watch
For many people, the road to their dream watch may involve a number of different timepieces. It is very common practice to buy a watch and after a few years trade it in with some additional funds to acquire something more expensive. This kind of trading up and part exchanging luxury watches can be an excellent option. It works very well if your tastes change and you would like to move from something more dive-focused to a dress watch for example.
If you have an existing watch and would like to upgrade we can help source your next watch and offer a part-exchange service to facilitate your purchase.
Trading Down Your Watch
For some people, they no longer need a certain watch type and would like to trade it in for a less expensive luxury watch. This allows them to free up some capital and either invest that in a second watch or something else. Our experienced team can evaluate your existing watch, offer a great price, and source a suitable watch as part of the process. Making it a single smooth process rather than selling outright and having to go out and find another watch yourself.
