Good To Know

You Don't Need to Be a Watch Expert

Most people who bring in a watch have no idea what it's really worth, and that's completely normal. We look at every watch with you standing right there, and we walk you through what we're checking so you understand exactly how we got your number. Whether it's a Rolex, an Omega, a family heirloom, or a watch you're not sure about, we'll tell you what it's worth before you decide to sell anything.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M watch with box and papers

Types of Watches We Buy & Sell

Tap any box below to see how we check it.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore chronograph with box
Luxury Sport Watches
Rolex · Audemars Piguet · Hublot
Brands
RolexAudemars PiguetHublotRichard Mille
How We Price

We look at the model, the condition, and what it's selling for right now. These brands hold strong resale value, especially with box and papers.

Box & Papers

Bring them if you have them. A full set is worth more, but we'll still make a fair offer without it.

Omega Seamaster dive watch on a wrist
Dive & Sport Watches
Omega Seamaster · Rolex Submariner · Tudor
How We Price

Dive watches are built to take a beating, so scratches and wear don't scare us off. We check the movement, the bezel, and the case before we make an offer.

Also Accepted

Watches that need a new battery, a service, or a strap replacement. None of that stops us from making an offer.

TAG Heuer Formula 1 chronograph with a green dial
Chronograph & Racing Watches
TAG Heuer · Breitling · Omega Speedmaster
How We Price

We test the chronograph pushers and check that the sub-dials run correctly, since a working chronograph is worth more than one that doesn't.

Also Accepted

Quartz and automatic movements both welcome. Mechanical models tend to hold more value over time.

Grand Seiko GMT automatic watch on a wrist
Dress & GMT Watches
Grand Seiko · Jaeger-LeCoultre · Patek Philippe
How We Price

Fine dress watches are judged on finish, movement quality, and how well the piece has been kept. A clean, well-cared-for watch brings a stronger offer.

Vintage Welcome

Older and inherited pieces are welcome too, as long as we can verify the serial number and movement.

Tiffany and Co luxury watch with a blue dial on a wrist
Ladies' Luxury Watches
Tiffany & Co · Cartier · Rolex Datejust
How We Price

We look at the brand, the metal, any diamonds or gemstones, and the overall condition. Well-known names hold their value best.

Also Accepted

Inherited and vintage ladies' watches, even without the original box or papers.

Gold-tone Bulova watch with its original box
Gold & Two-Tone Watches
Bulova · Movado · gold-tone dress watches
How We Price

We check whether the case is solid gold, gold-filled, or gold-plated, since that changes the value a lot. Either way, we'll give you a straight answer.

Also Accepted

Watches with a scratched case or a worn band. The brand and metal still count.

Tiffany and Co stainless steel tank watch
Designer Fashion Watches
Tiffany Tank · Cartier Tank · Michele
How We Price

Rectangular tank-style watches from well-known names stay in demand year after year. We check the case, crystal, and clasp for wear.

Also Accepted

Quartz movements are normal for this style and don't hurt the offer.

How We Check the Value of Your Watch

Nothing happens behind a curtain. Here's the exact process we run on every watch, right at the counter, while you watch.

Done in under 10 minutes

Close look at a luxury watch caseback

Step 1

Look It Over

We check the brand, model, case, dial, and bracelet to see what we're working with.

Verifying a watch serial number against its papers

Step 2

Verify the Serial

We match the serial and model numbers to confirm the watch is genuine, using papers if you have them.

Checking a watch movement through a clear caseback

Step 3

Check the Movement

We look at how the movement runs and note any service history or repairs it may need.

Step 4

Make You an Offer

We weigh the brand, condition, and demand, then give you a straight cash offer on the spot.

No Guesswork

Watch values change with the brand, model, and market demand, so there's no single price list we can put on a page. Bring your watch in and we'll give you a real number based on what it is right now, not a guess.

FAQ

Watch Selling Questions, Answered Straight

The questions we hear most, including the ones people are usually too polite to ask out loud.

How much is my watch worth right now?
It depends on the brand, model, condition, and current demand. Bring it in and we'll check it in person for an exact number.
Do you check my watch in front of me?
Every time, no exceptions. We check the case, dial, movement, and serial number right at the counter so you can watch the whole process before we talk numbers.
Do I need box and papers to sell my watch?
No, but they help. A full set usually gets a higher offer since it's easier for us to resell. We'll still make a fair offer without them.
Which Rolex models hold the most value?
Submariner, Daytona, and GMT-Master II consistently hold the strongest resale value.
Do you buy watches that don't run?
Yes. A non-running watch still has real value, especially from brands like Rolex, Omega, and Patek Philippe. We factor the cost of service into the offer.
Do you buy vintage watches?
Yes — vintage Rolex, Omega, Grand Seiko, and other Swiss and Japanese watches with a readable serial number.
Do you buy ladies' watches?
Yes — Tiffany & Co, Cartier Tank, Rolex Datejust, Omega Constellation, and other ladies' luxury pieces.
Does the original bracelet matter?
Yes. An original bracelet is worth more than an aftermarket strap. Bring it separately if it's not on the watch.
Do you buy fake or replica watches?
No. We only buy authentic, verified timepieces.
Do you buy quartz watches?
Yes. Mechanical movements tend to hold more value, but quartz watches from Cartier, TAG Heuer, and Tiffany still sell well.
Is there a limit on how many watches you'll buy?
No. We buy anywhere from a single watch to a full collection. Text photos to 917-608-8939 ahead of time for a large collection.
How fast do I get paid?
Same day. As soon as you accept our offer, you're paid before you leave the counter.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are always welcome. For a high-value piece or a large collection, a heads-up text helps us prepare.
Are you licensed?
Yes — NYC DCA license #2070477 (Vintage USA Inc, DBA East Village Buyers).
