Selling Your Watch — FAQs
Will Watch Nest beat another dealer’s offer for my watch?
If another UK watch buyer has already quoted you, show us a genuine, like-for-like written offer and we will do our best to beat it. There is no obligation, and if we cannot improve on it your watch is returned to you free of charge.
How do I get the best price when selling my luxury watch in the UK?
Provide clear photos and the model and reference number so we can quote accurately, sell direct to a specialist buyer rather than through fee-charging auctions or pawnbrokers, and compare written offers. Watch Nest charges no seller fees, so the offer you accept is the amount you receive.
Can I drop my watch off in person instead of posting it?
Yes. By appointment, and once your offer is confirmed, you can bring your watch to our secure premises in Bedfordshire; the full address is shared when you book. Payment for in-person drop-offs can depend on our watchmaker’s availability to verify the watch, so it may take a little longer than our free insured postal service.
Do I need the original box and papers to sell my watch?
No. Box and papers can increase the value of some watches, but they are not required. We buy watches with both, either, or neither — just tell us what you have and we will factor it into the offer.
How long does payment take after I accept an offer?
For watches sent by post, we verify on arrival and pay the same day by bank transfer with no fees deducted. For in-person drop-offs in Bedfordshire, payment can depend on our watchmaker’s availability to verify the watch and may take a little longer.
Does it cost anything to get a valuation or to sell?
No. Valuations are free and carry no obligation, there are no seller fees, and postage is free and fully insured both ways. If you decline the offer we return your watch at no cost to you.
