Consignment

Two people shaking hands in a business setting.

Collectors Only

 The advantage of consigning with us is that you, the owner, can vet exactly who is buying your watch. Any auction house will simply sell it to the highest bidder, who is usually a gold hog only interested in melting the down case or a flipper who will part it out on eBay.


Original and exceptional examples only, please.

Page Rules

All watches are privately owned and are in as-is condition. Any known issues or service histories are listed where possible.

Consigning

  • Send us photos via the button below along with any known problems, possible service history, and your asking price.
  • Jewel count doesn't matter so much as condition, so original and intact pieces with correct dials and hands only, please.
  • If we accept your watch, then you ship it here to be listed.
  • The cost for hosting your watch is $65, regardless if it sells or not. If it does sell, then you pay us 10% of the sold price.

Sending Photos

Purchasing

  • Write to us via the Contact page if a watch catches your eye.
  • We will pass along your interest and contact information to the owner, and the two of you can negotiate a price.
  • If an agreement is reached, then you pay the owner directly.
  • He or she will let us know when the money lands and give us the go-ahead to ship it via USPS Ground with tracking.
  • You send us your mailing address and $25 for shipping.
  • Domestic transactions only.  No international sales.
