How Does a Watch Trade-In Work?

A watch trade-in means your current watch is valued and counted toward another watch. It has three steps: the watch is inspected, a value is set, and the difference to the watch you want is agreed.

Why trade in?

You avoid finding a separate buyer and can plan the change in one conversation. It is a practical route for collectors changing direction or moving to a different model.

What sets your watch's value?

Brand and model, condition, box and papers, service history and market demand all count. Scratches and replaced parts are also considered.

How to prepare

Take clear photos of the dial, case, strap and caseback. Gather any box, papers and service records. Ask before polishing or repairing, because some work can reduce value.

Trade-in terms depend on the watch and current stock. Send your watch's details through the Sell Your Watch form or visit our shop in Etiler/Levent, Istanbul.
