Luxury Watch Buyer & Seller in Sittingbourne

Why Buy a Pre-Owned Luxury Watch

Buying pre-owned is a more accessible way to own an investment piece and avoid the initial depreciation hit as soon as it leaves the store brand new. Resellers get access to many discontinued or vintage models, so you can get your hands on rarer pieces compared to buying from a retailer.

Authentication Process

Our thorough inspection process ensures each luxury timepiece meets our standards for quality, condition, and authenticity.

1. Visual inspection – during the visual inspection, we check elements of your watch such as the watch case, dial, engravings, hands and markers, and crystal. We take note of any flaws or imperfections, as this will make an impact on the valuation.
2. Serial and model numbers – we then match the serial number against records for the year of production to check if it corresponds to its design, dial, and bezel.
3. Paperwork – we examine the original box (if you have it), warranty card, receipts, and service history to ensure authenticity and provenance.

We are fully trained and experienced in catching signs of counterfeit products. Luxury watches are heavily replicated, but our expertise means we can identify even the best counterfeit products. This means you get complete confidence whether you are buying or selling at Hart Time.
