Same-Day Payment

When your watch arrives and clears bench inspection here in Los Angeles, payment goes out the same day. Our buying desk has operated this way since we opened: same-day offers, paid the day it clears. You can take cash or apply the full value as trade credit toward any watch in our inventory.

Prefer to come in? We operate by appointment at our downtown Los Angeles jewelry district desk, Monday through Friday. Prefer mail-in? Ship the watch to us fully insured and we handle it from there — payment follows the same day it passes inspection.

Brands We Buy

We purchase Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Panerai, Omega, Tudor, Richard Mille and most Swiss houses — modern and vintage alike.

  • Rolex — Submariner, Daytona, GMT-Master II, Datejust, Day-Date and all references
  • Audemars Piguet — Royal Oak and all references
  • Patek Philippe — Nautilus, Calatrava and all references
  • Cartier — Tank, Santos, Ballon Bleu and all models
  • Omega — Speedmaster, Seamaster and more
  • Panerai, Tudor, Hublot, IWC, Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, Richard Mille and most major Swiss houses

Single pieces or whole collections. If you do not see your brand listed, submit it — a dealer reviews every submission.

What Affects Your Watch’s Value

A dealer-direct offer reflects several factors:

  • Reference and model. Sport and complicated references from the top houses attract the strongest secondary-market demand.
  • Condition. Unworn and like-new pieces command the best numbers; good and fair examples are still purchased.
  • Box and papers. Full sets — original box plus papers — earn the highest offers. We buy watch-only pieces too, but a complete set always supports a stronger number.
  • Service history. A documented service record adds confidence to the valuation and can support the offer.

Why Sell to My Watch Dealer

Same-day speed. Unlike an auction house that holds your watch for weeks, or a consignment platform where you wait on a buyer, our desk makes a firm offer within one business day and pays the same day the watch clears inspection.

Active trade desk. My Watch Dealer is a member of the International Watch & Jewelry Guild (IWJG), NAWCC and TAWD — the same trade networks used by professional dealers worldwide. That membership keeps our buying prices competitive with the real trade market.

Dealer-direct purchase. A dealer at our desk evaluates every piece. No middlemen, no online marketplace listing. You deal directly with the buyer.

Trade-in option. Prefer to upgrade rather than cash out? Say so when you submit. Trade credit applies to any watch in our inventory and we handle both legs of the shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I receive an offer?

A firm cash offer, usually the same business day. A dealer reads every submission.

When do I actually get paid?

Payment goes out the day your watch clears our bench. For walk-in appointments at our Los Angeles desk, that can be the same day you bring it in. For mail-in pieces, it is the day the watch passes bench inspection after arrival.

Do you buy vintage watches?

Yes — we buy modern and vintage pieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier and most Swiss houses.

Do box and papers change the offer?

Full sets earn the strongest numbers. We also buy watch-only pieces — the absence of box and papers is not a barrier, but a complete set always supports a higher offer.

Can I trade my watch instead of selling it?

Yes. Say so in the notes when you submit. Trade credit applies to any watch on the site and we handle both legs of the shipping.

Do you buy whole collections?

Yes — single pieces or whole collections. Include the full list when you submit and a dealer will review everything together.
