WATCH APPRAISAL
Watch appraisal is usually required when selling a timepiece or when arranging a loan secured by it. An independent evaluation of luxury watches helps determine their true market value. The specialists at the Rejency watch boutiquehave extensive experience in professional appraisals, allowing clients to be confident in the quality and objectivity of the assessment.
ONLINE APPRAISAL
An appraiser clearly understands the criteria used to determine how long a watch has been used and its current market value. However, clients often ask what exactly specialists pay attention to during the evaluation.
For expensive branded watches, the following factors are particularly important:
manufacturer and model line
current market liquidity of the model
global market price on international markets
year of manufacture and purchase
availability of original documents and box
technical complexity of the model
materials used in production, including precious metals and gemstones
condition of the watch case and the movement
presence of any traces of repair
Of course, the proper functioning and overall wear of the movement are extremely important, as well as the presence and authenticity of the documents and original packaging.
Defects on the dial or strap, operational issues, belonging to limited-edition collections, the popularity of the model, and the average market price for similar watches can influence the final valuation either positively or negatively. If you have any questions, our appraisers will be happy to explain their decision and indicate the factors that influenced the price.
ANTIQUE WATCH APPRAISAL
Along with modern watches, we also accept antique models for appraisal. The main evaluation criteria remain the same; however, the age of the item plays a key role. When in good condition, antique watches and chronometers are usually valued significantly higher than modern counterparts.
HOW LUXURY WATCHES ARE APPRAISED
To find out the approximate value of your watch, you can use the online appraisal service at Rejency Watch Boutique. This service saves time and allows you to understand the potential value of a specific model in advance. To do this, simply fill out the feedback form located at the bottom of the page.
In the form, please provide basic information about the watch: brand and model, year of purchase, overall condition, and whether documents and original accessories are available. You should also attach several photos of the watch from different angles. Please include your email address and phone number — if necessary, Rejency specialists may contact you to clarify details and provide a more accurate preliminary evaluation. The appraisal results are usually provided within a short time.
Rejency Watch Boutique specializes in luxury Swiss timepieces and offers professional evaluation services as well as the opportunity to sell premium watches on favorable terms.
Factors that may influence the final valuation
missing removable bracelet links
fluctuations in currency exchange rates
the time elapsed since the previous appraisal
scratches or chips on the sapphire crystal
signs of unqualified mechanical repairs
improper polishing
deterioration of luminous elements on the case
materials used in the watch, including precious metals and stones
deviations in accuracy and movement amplitude
mechanical malfunctions
condition of the case and bracelet (stretching or play)
signs of moisture exposure or corrosion
compromised case sealing
dents or other case damage
Once the terms are agreed upon, payment for the watch can often be completed within a short time, frequently on the same day. Some rare watch models may even appreciate in value over time and be sold for more than their original boutique price.
Rejency guarantees complete confidentiality for all transactions and careful handling of every timepiece. In many cases, selling through our boutique can be faster and more advantageous than listing a watch at auction.
Please note that if the in-person evaluation reveals that the actual condition of the watch differs from the information provided during the online appraisal (for example, missing documents or packaging, or a different condition than stated), the final valuation may be adjusted.
To receive an accurate appraisal and complete the transaction, contact Rejency managers using the phone number below or via messaging apps (WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram).
