Selling Luxury Watches in San Diego: Quick Answer

Bring your luxury watches to our Carmel Valley showroom for a free, no-obligation evaluation. Here is what to expect:

  • Evaluation is free and takes 20–40 minutes, performed in front of you so you can see how the number is reached.
  • Payment is same-day once you accept an offer — no waiting on consignment or shipping.
  • Offers reflect current wholesale and secondary-market value, not the original retail price or an insurance appraisal figure.
  • No appointment is required, though booking ahead guarantees a private evaluation room for higher-value pieces.
  • You can borrow against your luxury watches instead of selling if you would rather keep ownership.
  • Bring photo ID. California law requires identification for any purchase or loan transaction.
