Buying watches in Frankfurt: sell your used watch at the best price

Individual and personal advice is our top priority.

We want the sale to take place on a trusting basis and you as a seller to be happy . At watches24.com you always have a permanent contact person - Andreas Hildebrand.

Our goal is a satisfactory deal for both sides. You have to be comfortable with your decision. That is why we attach great importance to open and transparent communication.

This is of course also possible online! Especially if you are not face to face, we would like to explain the pricing to you in detail.

If the desired purchase price is excessive, potential buyers are usually deterred. In some cases, dealers offer you the opportunity to sell the watch on commission. The commission sale shows you what price your watch can achieve on the market.

The seller usually asks between 10 and 15% of the selling price. You may have to pay for watch refurbishment, a new strap and service costs. That means: A fair direct purchase offer is often better than a commission sale. Understandably, you don't want to undersell your watch.

In the case of commission sales, it can happen that the price of the watch has to be reduced after a certain period of time. So you end up finding yourself at market value.

The answers to the questions below will affect the value of your watch .

• What is the condition of your watch? Is it new or has it been worn daily?

• Does your watch have technical or optical defects ?

Does your watch have :

-> The original manufacturer guarantee certificate

-> If necessary, spare parts that were exchanged after a service by the manufacturer

-> The original sales packaging

-> The description booklets of the manufacturer

-> Further documentation from the service

-> The first purchase invoice

• Are all parts original from the manufacturer?

• Is the watch limited to a certain number of pieces ?

• Does your watch have any special features compared to other watches of the same type, such as a different dial colour? This can have both positive and negative effects on the value of the watch.

We test your watch for:

• Originality

• Gait behavior

• Optical and technical condition.

If you send us your watch, we will evaluate it as soon as it arrives . We will then contact you to negotiate the price.

On site in the shop in Munich, you will immediately receive price information.

The watch will be fully insured and picked up from you by a courier. This means that the location of your watch can always be traced using the tracking number. I now have 15 years of experience with trusted delivery services like UPS and Fedex collected - I warmly recommend these to you. I do not recommend working with DHL, Hermes or DPD, as these providers do not insure jewellery, coins or watches.

Die Preise könnten nicht unterschiedlicher sein: Sie reichen von einer Vintage-Calatrava, die bei etwa 5.000 € beginnt, bis hin zu einer Nautilus in Vollgold mit komplexen Komplikationen, die mehrere Hunderttausend Euro kosten kann.

Es ist wichtig, im Vorfeld selbst im Internet zu recherchieren und das genaue Modell Ihrer Uhr herauszufinden, um eine ungefähre Vorstellung vom Wert zu bekommen. Zudem sollten Sie berücksichtigen, dass Händler in der Regel etwas weniger zahlen als der aktuelle Marktpreis. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass Händler ein gewisses Risiko eingehen, eine Patek zu kaufen und diese zeitnah wieder zu verkaufen. Außerdem fallen zusätzliche Kosten für hochwertige Fotos und eine professionelle Präsentation an, die ebenfalls in den Preis einkalkuliert werden müssen.

Upon arrival, we will first check your watch for originality and rate behavior. The purchase price will be discussed again - if there are any changes. We will then transfer the jointly determined amount to you by immediate payment / immediate transfer .
