Two selling options
There are two options available when it comes to selling your pocket watch. The most common option is selling your watch directly to us.
Besides a direct purchase, we also offer sales in consignment. Below you will find a description on how we work and what we require from you in both cases.
How does it work?
First you will need to provide us with pictures and a detailed description of your watch by filling in the form below. Your offer will be attentively viewed and replied to within 24 hours. In most cases the pictures will be sufficient enough for us to get a clear image but in certain doubtful cases we would need to see and investigate the watch in person.
Any information about the watch you are offering is welcome and will help with the determination of its value. Feel free to let us know for what price you are willing to part with your timepiece. If you are not sure, you can ask us to make you an offer.
When the price is agreed upon, we will provide you with an international shipping label to have the watch sent to our office in Amsterdam. Once the parcel arrives we will carefully examine the watch and send you a confirmation of receipt whereafter we will collect your banking details to complete the international wire transfer.
In case of sale through consignment we will list your watch at a mutually agreed selling price. Our charges for a sale through consignment are 15% commission. Any additional repair or service costs will be carefully consulted with the consignor beforehand.
