I have been liaising with Wahab for the last couple of weeks regarding the sale of my Rolex watch. He was very informative and invited me to their shop to discuss further. It was the smoothest and most professional sale transaction I have ever done.

Rolex Watch Valuation: How We Reach Your Figure

You should know how the number was arrived at before you agree to anything. Here is exactly what we look at, and we will walk you through all five on your own watch.

Two Datejust 41s can sit thousands apart on the dial alone. The reference between the lugs tells us the case, the bezel and the bracelet. From there the dial variant does the rest. A Wimbledon dial and a plain black one are not the same watch to a buyer.

Sharp, unpolished lugs hold their value. A case that has been through a jeweller's polishing wheel a few times has lost its edges and its bevels, and that shows in the price. We will put yours under the loupe and show you what we are looking at.

We check timekeeping over several positions, the power reserve, the date change at midnight, and the chronograph pushers on a Daytona. A Rolex running inside tolerance needs no service allowance, so more of the value stays with you.

Original card, box and stamped service records make the watch easier for us to place, and that premium comes back to you in the offer. Without them the watch still sells. The number simply moves.

Rolex prices move week to week and not every reference moves the same way. We price against live trading data for your specific reference, not a list from last year and not a headline about the market in general.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to sell a luxury watch?

Selling directly to a Rolex specialist like Time Is Money gives you the best balance of price, speed and security. You get a free valuation from someone who prices on the reference rather than the model, a firm figure the same day, and the money in your account when you accept. No listing fees, no waiting, and no strangers.

How do I know your offer is fair?

Because we show you how we got there. Every valuation comes with the reasoning behind it: the reference, the condition of the case, the running order, the papers, and what your reference has been trading at this month. Take that figure and check it against anything you like. Most of our sellers do, and they come back.

Is it safe to send you my Rolex?

Yes. Collection is by fully insured courier, tracked door to door, arranged and paid for by us. We inspect it on a video call if you want to watch, and if you turn the offer down it comes straight back to you, insured, free. You are never out of pocket and never out of sight of your watch.

How quickly can I get paid?

Same day. Once we have inspected the watch and you have accepted the offer, the full amount goes by bank transfer to your account. In the showroom this usually happens within the hour.

Do I need the original box or papers?

No. A good proportion of the Rolex we buy arrive without them. Papers make a watch easier to sell on and that is reflected in the offer, but they have never been a condition of us buying.

Can I sell a Rolex that needs a service or has damage?

Yes. A watch that is not running, has a cracked crystal or needs a full service still holds serious value. We price in the cost of the work and tell you exactly what that allowance is, so you can see it rather than just feel it in a lower number.

Who buys Rolex watches near me?

If you are in Manchester, Cheshire or anywhere in the North West, we do, from our showroom in Hale, Altrincham. Anywhere else in the UK, we collect from your door by insured courier at no cost. Open seven days, 9am to 5pm.

What happens if I turn the offer down?

Nothing, and it costs you nothing. Your Rolex is returned by fully insured courier the same week, free of charge. No obligation at any stage and no chasing afterwards.

Can I get a valuation without coming to the showroom?

Yes. Fill in the form or message us on WhatsApp with the reference and a couple of photos, and we will come back with an estimate. If you want to go ahead we arrange free insured collection for the full inspection.
