Choose what works best for you
Each route opens with a free valuation and closes with a bank transfer on the day you agree. You pay nothing along the way, and you can stop at any point.
Prop your phone up and show us the dial, the case back and the clasp. A valuer talks you through what they can see and gives you a working figure while you are still on the line, from a kitchen table in Roundhay or a desk near Park Square. Button
Type the brand and reference into the form above. A free estimate usually lands within two hours, and nobody rings you unless you ask them to. Button
Like the estimate? A tracked courier collects from your home or workplace anywhere in Leeds, with up to £25,000 of transit cover included. Collection is free, and so is the insured return if you turn the final offer down. Button
Most sales completed within 24 hours
Share the brand, model and reference, a line on condition, and whether the box and papers have survived. It takes less than two minutes, and a couple of clear photos help us tighten the estimate.
A tracked, insured courier comes to you free of charge. If you would rather hand the watch over in person, our Hale showroom is about 1 hour 15 minutes from Leeds by car along the M62.
We confirm the watch is genuine, test the movement, grade the condition honestly and run the serial through The Watch Register. In most cases this is done on the day the parcel arrives.
Agree to the confirmed offer and the bank transfer goes out that day. If the number is not right for you, the watch is posted back fully insured, and we pay for the postage.
From everyday Swiss to haute horlogerie
These are the makers Leeds sellers ask us about most, with the model lines we buy regularly. Rolex leads the list, and Omega, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Tudor and Cartier are regular arrivals too. If your brand is missing, send the details anyway.

Trusted by watch owners across London and the UK
Say yes to the confirmed offer and the bank transfer is sent that day. No cheques, and no waiting for a resale to go through first.
A tracked courier collects from your Leeds address, or anywhere else in the UK, with £25,000 of transit cover as standard. For a single piece worth more, ask and we will raise the cover.
Did the box go in a loft clear-out years ago? We still buy the watch. A full set can lift the figure, but it is never a condition of sale.
Two brothers run the business as a family firm, with more than 20 years of buying and valuing luxury watches behind them and a showroom in Hale you are welcome to visit.
Nothing comes off at the end. There is no fee and no commission, so the offer we confirm is the sum that reaches your account.
Asking for a valuation commits you to nothing. Turn the offer down and the watch comes back to you, insured, at our expense.

Authentication and insured transit
Before we buy, a specialist examines every watch in person. We inspect the movement through the opened case back, match the serial to the reference, and check the codes on the bracelet and clasp. The serial is also run through The Watch Register. That step is there for you as the seller too: a clean result is a clear record that the watch changed hands above board.
Every collection travels with a tracked courier, insured to £25,000 as standard, and higher cover can be arranged on request for a single high-value piece. Say no to our offer and the watch returns to your Leeds address under the same insurance, free. If your watch needs a service or restoration more than it needs a new owner, our own workshop handles luxury watch repair and restoration.
Over the Pennines, if you fancy the drive
Worded the way sellers actually ask
For a luxury watch, the best place to sell is usually a specialist watch buyer, because the offer is built on the exact reference and the current market rather than a guess. If you are looking for the best place to sell a watch in Leeds, choose a buyer with verifiable reviews, insured transit in both directions, no fees and payment on the day you accept. We offer all four.
Send the brand, model and reference to a specialist buyer, agree an estimate, then have the watch collected or take it in for inspection. With us, the money arrives by bank transfer on the day you accept. Leeds sellers who want to sell a watch for cash get that same-day transfer with free collection too, so there is no need to queue at a cash counter in town.
A specialist in pre-owned luxury watches normally gives the most accurate figure, since general jewellers and pawnbrokers tend to price cautiously. Pick a buyer who explains how the number was reached, insures the watch in transit and tells you exactly when you will be paid.
Find the reference number, then ask a specialist for a free estimate or try our Brand Value Calculator. Condition, working order, box and papers, and current demand then decide what your particular watch is worth today.
It depends on the reference, the condition, how original the watch still is and whether the papers survive. Many well-kept older Rolex sports and dress references, from the Explorer II and GMT-Master II to the Datejust, remain in strong demand with UK buyers. Because the market moves week to week, send us the reference from anywhere in Leeds and we will give you a free, up-to-date figure within two hours.
The 3 watch rule says a well-rounded collection needs just three watches: a dress watch for formal occasions, a sports or dive watch for active days, and a dependable everyday watch. It is a collector's guideline rather than a fixed rule, and some owners use it as a prompt to sell pieces that no longer earn their place.
"Poor man's Rolex" is a nickname most often given to Tudor, the sister brand of Rolex, which offers comparable build quality at a lower price. The label is also applied to some Seiko, Longines and Steinhart models. We buy Tudor and Longines alongside the other premium brands in our list.
Steel sports models from the most established Swiss makers tend to hold their value best, with Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet at the front. References such as the Rolex Submariner and GMT-Master II, the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stay in steady demand with UK buyers. Condition, a full set and the exact reference still matter.
