What Is Watch Consignment and Is It Right for You?

Consignment means a trusted dealer lists and sells your watch on your behalf. You hand the piece over; the dealer handles authentication, photography, pricing, buyer inquiries, and the transaction. When the watch sells, you receive the agreed seller payout and the dealer keeps a commission.

The alternative is an outright sale: My Watch Dealer makes a firm cash offer within one business day, paid the day it clears our bench. That is the faster route. Consignment is the better fit when you own a high-demand reference, you are not in a hurry, and you want someone else to do the selling work while you wait for the right buyer and a stronger number.

Not sure which route makes sense? See how our outright purchase works or contact the desk to talk through your options.

How My Watch Dealer’s Consignment Process Works

Submit your watchTell us the brand, reference, condition, and whether you have box and papers. Use the sell & trade form or call the desk.
Appraisal & authenticationEvery piece is bench-checked and verified in-house before it lists. A MyLuxApp-certified written appraisal ($150 flat) is available and recommended for high-value references.
Agreement & pricingWe agree on a target price and consignment terms before anything moves forward. No surprises.
Listing & marketingYour watch is listed on our site alongside 678+ in-stock pieces and shown to our active buyer network.
Sale & payoutWe handle the buyer, the transaction, and the paperwork. Contact us to confirm exact payout timing and terms for your piece.

Which Watches We Accept on Consignment

We work with Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Panerai, Omega, Tudor, Richard Mille, and most Swiss luxury houses — modern and vintage, single pieces or whole collections.

Full sets with original box and papers tend to move fastest and command the strongest numbers. We buy watch-only too, though a complete set always earns more.

Not sure whether your piece qualifies? Contact the desk with the brand, reference, and photos. A dealer reads every submission and replies the same business day.

How We Price and Market Your Watch

My Watch Dealer is a working trade desk in the Los Angeles jewelry district, active in the International Watch & Jewelry Guild (IWJG). That means our pricing is based on live trade data, not showroom guesswork, and your watch is shown to an audience that already buys at dealer-direct numbers.

Every listing we put up is handled, verified, and bench-checked by us — we never list on consignment from someone else’s description alone. That standard protects buyers and gives your watch credibility alongside the rest of our inventory. See how the desk operates for more on our trade credentials and sourcing process.

Authentication and Security: Your Watch at the LA Desk

Nothing goes on the desk we have not handled and verified ourselves. Every piece is bench-checked for authenticity and condition before it lists. We are members of the IWJG, the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC), and TAWD — the same credentials that underpin every watch we sell with our 2-year store warranty.

For insurance coverage, declared value, and security specifics while your watch is in our possession, contact the desk directly at (213) 373-4424 or sales@mywatchdealer.com. Hours are Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm Pacific.

Frequently Asked Questions About Consigning a Luxury Watch

Do you offer watch consignment?

Yes. My Watch Dealer offers sell, trade, and consignment options. Our sell & trade page handles same-day cash offers; consignment is for sellers who prefer to wait for the right buyer and have the desk do the selling work on their behalf.

Which watch brands do you accept on consignment?

We work with Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Panerai, Omega, Tudor, Richard Mille, and most Swiss luxury houses — modern and vintage, single pieces or whole collections. Full sets with original box and papers tend to move fastest and command the strongest prices.

Where is my watch held during consignment?

At our Downtown Los Angeles desk — 650 S. Hill St., Suite 317, Los Angeles, CA 90014 — in the jewelry district. Nothing lists on our site without passing through our hands and our bench.

What credentials does My Watch Dealer hold?

We are members of the International Watch & Jewelry Guild (IWJG), the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors (NAWCC), and TAWD. These trade memberships are why our in-stock pieces are priced off the trade number rather than a showroom markup.

How is the watch authenticated before listing?

Every watch is bench-checked and verified in-house before it goes on the desk. We can also arrange a MyLuxApp-certified written appraisal ($150 flat fee) — the same appraisal document that ships with every watch we sell.

What is the difference between consignment and selling outright?

Selling outright means a firm cash offer within one business day, paid the day it clears our bench — fastest route to liquidity. Consignment means we list your watch and find the right buyer; you typically receive more of the final sale price but wait for the right match. Contact the desk to discuss which route fits your watch and your timeline.

How do I start the consignment process?

Use the sell & trade form at mywatchdealer.com/sell.php, note that you are interested in consignment, and include the brand, reference, condition, and whether you have box and papers. A dealer reads every submission and replies the same business day. You can also call (213) 373-4424 or email sales@mywatchdealer.com.

Start Your Consignment — Contact the Desk

Use the sell & trade form and mention you’re interested in consignment. Include the brand, model, reference, condition, and photos if you have them. A dealer reads every submission and replies the same business day. You can also start with a MyLuxApp appraisal ($150 flat fee, insured prepaid label) to establish a certified value before we agree on a listing price.
