Being a jewelry store located in the Diamond District of New York City, we are buying and selling watches everyday. The biggest question is, “how much is my watch worth? and “how do you determine the authenticity and value?” We will break it down for you and help you get the most money to sell your treasured timepiece.
Resale Value Of Your Watch
The most important factors to determine the resale price of your watch are:
- Brand
- Model Number
- Serial Number
- Condition
- Box & Papers
The model number is the most important factor because it will tell what year, material, and movement are inside your watch. The serial number is used to verify the watches authenticity. The next factor is condition, with the highest value for unworn/unsized watches. Followed by how complete of a set you have. If you have the complete set, watch, box, papers, extra links, purchase receipt, it will get you a higher resale price.
Where Do I Find The Serial Number On My Watch?
There are a couple of places where you can look up the serial number of your watch:
- Authentication papers
- Engraved on the case
Ways To Determine If Your Watch Is Authentic
- Authentic watches are often heavier because of the high quality materials used.
- Logo or writing is not fine edged, or even. Luxury watch brands use the most meticulous process.
- Winder on the side does not function in a complex manner.
How Much Is My Watch Worth?
The easiest way to determine if you have an authentic watch with 100% certainty is to bring it to a trusted watchmaker. They will remove the back of the watch to verify the movements and pieces.
