February 2022

I spontaneously went to Mr. Hildebrand with 2 watches that I wanted to part with.

Mr. Hildebrand was very professional and honest when it came to pricing the watches and even exceeded my expectations in a way!

I sold a watch from my collection to Mr. Hildebrand because a new watch moved in with me. The sale was handled very professionally and friendly. Mr. Hildebrand also scored with his professional knowledge and his human nature, which is now very difficult to find in this industry, especially in Munich. I hope there is a suitable watch for me on his website one day, because I would love to buy a watch here instead of selling it.

Mr. Hildebrand bought my Rolex. Super competent, serious nice advice and more than fair price. I've been to three other buyers before, some of whom offered 1400 euros less without really looking at the watch in the hope that you wouldn't have a clue. So if watches are selling, I highly recommend watches24!!!

Questions & answers on watch sales

What distinguishes watches24.com from other sellers when buying watches?

Open tab

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.

This is how we determine the value of your watch

Open tab

Would you like to check the purchase value of your watch yourself? They can either get information on Internet portals such as Ebay and Chrono24 or obtain offers from used watch dealers. Be sure to include the reference number .

Depending on the manufacturer, these can be found on the back of the case, on part of the lugs or on the dial. The more information you provide the dealer with, the more accurate the picture he can get of the watch for sale and thus determine a very precise value.

We determine the value of your watch based on these factors:

•Our experience

• Expected time until the watch is sold

• Comparison with the prices of other offered watches

• Based on your information

Our expert tip: It is best to always get more than one offer.

With the help of these points, we are able to determine the correct value of your watch for you.

Why is the right selling price important?

Open tab

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.

What factors affect the value of my watch?

Open tab

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.

How long does it take to get a review?

Open tab

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.

Is it safe to ship my watch to watches24.com?

Open tab

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.

And if I decide to sell my watch...

When do I get my money?

Open tab

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 .

When will I get my watch back?

Open tab
