Which luxury watches do we consider?
Bring vintage, gold, steel or diamond-set luxury watches for consideration. For a mixed collection, keep each timepiece with its matching records and accessories. Box and papers are helpful but are not required to request an evaluation. Natural diamonds only are within our diamond-buying scope.
We buy watches; we do not make loans. If a watch has stopped, is incomplete, has aftermarket parts or has uncertain identity or stone origin, call before visiting to confirm whether we can evaluate it. Do not assume we can establish every unknown or purchase every model. A buying evaluation is not a manufacturer certification or a separate formal appraisal.
What should you bring?
Bring the watch, bracelet links, original box, papers, receipts and service records you already have. Missing records do not need to be replaced before calling. Describe known faults, repairs and modifications. Keep inherited pieces in their current condition; ask before polishing, opening the case or replacing parts.
For a Rolex-specific visit, use our sell Rolex in Los Angeles page to prepare the reference and records.

Bring the watch and its records
Keep available boxes, accessories and paperwork together. Point out wear, repairs or modifications when discussing the watch in person.
How does an in-person evaluation work?
Bring the watch and existing records so the actual item and any purchase offer can be discussed together.
- Plan the visit. Call to describe the watch or collection, mention uncertainties and confirm what can be evaluated.
- Review the actual watch. Discuss the reference, materials, case and bracelet condition, included accessories, service history and known changes. Ask what further examination is needed and approve proposed work before it occurs.
- Consider the purchase offer. Confirm which watch, links and accessories the amount includes and whether any conditions remain. A phone or photo estimate is preliminary; compare final, item-specific terms.
- Agree on payment and handover. If you accept, confirm cash, bank wire or business check, the amount and timing, and keep the transaction record.
What affects a watch offer?
The exact model and reference, materials, configuration, condition, bracelet completeness, documentation, service history and alterations all help describe the complete timepiece. A model name, generic asking price or total weight cannot determine an individual watch offer. The gold-jewelry payout percentage applies only to gold jewelry, never to watches.
For manufacturer care information, consult Rolex's care and service guidance for a Rolex or the relevant watchmaker’s instructions for another brand. Brand markings alone do not establish a watch’s identity.

What should you know before selling a luxury watch?
Can I sell a luxury watch without its box or papers?
Yes, watches can be considered with or without the original box and papers. Bring any records and accessories you do have; missing documentation is part of the individual evaluation.
What if my watch has stopped or has replacement parts?
Call 310-663-1340 before visiting and describe the fault or alteration. Confirm whether we can evaluate that particular watch and what further examination may be needed; do not pay for repairs simply on the assumption that the cost will be recovered.
Do you buy diamond-set watches?
Diamond-set luxury watches can be considered. Our diamond buying covers natural diamonds only. Describe the setting and any changes when you call; if stone origin or the watch configuration is uncertain, confirm what can be evaluated before visiting.
How will I be paid if I agree to sell?
Payment for agreed purchases is available by cash, bank wire or business check. Confirm the amount, method, timing and handover arrangements before accepting. There is no fixed completion-time promise.
Does the gold-jewelry payout percentage apply to a watch?
No. Our gold-jewelry payout wording applies to gold jewelry only. A complete watch receives an item-specific purchase evaluation; there is no watch payout percentage or generic watch price.
Can I bring a collection rather than one watch?
Yes. Keep each watch with its matching box, papers, spare links and service records. Call first to describe the collection and plan the visit; discuss each item and what the final purchase offer includes.
