    The more you tell us, the sharper the price

    There’s no minimum. But every detail you share narrows down the value of your watch, so the price we send is one we can stand by.

    • Model and reference

      The reference pins down the exact watch: dial, bezel and metal.

    • Condition

      Unworn, lightly worn or well loved. Mention any polishing, replaced parts or marks.

    • Box and papers

      The original box, warranty card and paperwork all play a part in the price.

    • Service history

      When it was last serviced, and by whom. Receipts and service papers are worth mentioning.

    • Photos

      Clear shots of the dial, caseback, clasp and between the lugs give the most accurate valuation.

    Questions about selling your watch

    Can’t see your question? Call us free on 0800 612 4537.

    How do I get a price for my watch?

    Fill in the Sell My Watch form with as much detail as you have: the model and reference, the year, its condition, whether you have the box and papers, and a few photos. The more accurate the details, the more accurate the price, so tell us about any marks, polishing, replaced parts or recent servicing.

    Our team starts on your valuation as soon as the form arrives. We aim to give you an offer straight away; some watches are harder to price than others and take a little longer, but we always come back to you. The valuation is free, and there’s no obligation to sell.

    How will you send me the price?

    By email and by text message, so it reaches you whichever you check first. That’s why the form asks for an email address and a mobile number: one is enough, but both is best.

    The email is your watch purchase offer. It sets out the price and tells you how to accept it, and you’re welcome to call us with any questions about it.

    How long is your offer valid?

    Our quote is valid for 7 days from when we send it. To accept, follow the instructions in the email or speak to our team.

    The price is based on the watch being in good condition for its age, with the correct paperwork and box, unless you told us otherwise in the form. When it arrives we inspect it in full, and if there’s a problem with it, we may revise the offer. If a watch doesn’t meet the expected standard, we won’t buy it and we’ll arrange to return it to you.

    How do I send you my watch?

    If you're happy with the price, we'll send you details of where to post your watch using a fully insured service, so in the unlikely event that it goes missing you can make a claim.

    If you're in Devon, our office in Kingsteignton, near Newton Abbot, can arrange an appointment for you to drop the watch off, or a fully insured collection.

    When do I get paid?

    We receive your watch the next working day for a final inspection of its condition, authenticity and paperwork. Once it has been checked and confirmed as you described it, we confirm our final offer, and the funds are cleared in your bank account within 48 hours.

    Every watch we buy is checked by watch specialists, so you know exactly where you stand before you’re paid.

    Where do I find my reference number?

    On a Rolex, the reference is engraved on the case between the lugs at 12 o’clock (you’ll need to take the bracelet off to see it), and it’s printed on the warranty card or papers. It tells us the exact model, metal and bezel, and from it we know the movement too, so you don’t need to open the watch.

    If you can’t find it, leave it blank and add photos, including the warranty card if you have it. Our reference finder shows exactly where to look on a Rolex and on other makes.

    Does it matter if I don't have the box and papers?

    Tell us either way: we still want to hear about your watch. The original box, the papers or warranty card, spare links and service history all feed into the price, which is why the form asks about each one.

    If you have receipts or service papers, mention them in the form and add a photo. They help us confirm the watch’s history and give you the most accurate price.

    Do you buy watches other than Rolex?

    Yes. Rolex is our speciality, but we buy other prestigious Swiss watches too, including Omega, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Breitling, TAG Heuer and IWC Schaffhausen, and we can quote on any high-quality timepiece.

    Choose the brand at the start of the form and type in the model. The reference finder shows where the reference and movement numbers are on each make.

    Can I phone you instead?

    We ask that valuations go through the form, so we have every detail in one place and can give you the most accurate price. Once you've sent it, you're welcome to call us free on 0800 612 4537, where one of our specialists will be happy to help.

    If you have questions before you start, email us at info@sellingrolex.co.uk, or add them to the form's "Anything else?" box and we'll answer them with your price.
