Let’s get started!
What is the criteria by which we judge the value of a timepiece?
- Brand
- Condition
- Age
- Metal (steel, gold etc)
- Box and Certificate papers
- Market Availability – Market Value
- Model number
BRAND
Some brands command more value than others. This is the case for Rolex. It is perhaps the most requested timepiece of any brand in the world.
Condition
Condition is perhaps the trickiest factor. Some timepieces have been cared for extremely well. Almost as if they had never been worn. This is very rare. Most watches were worn and enjoyed over time. Some watches were abused or neglected. When discussing vintage watches condition is paramount. There can be lots of wear on a vintage watch but it must be all original from the dial to the movement. A vintage watch should never be polished. Unfortunately many are.
Age of Watch
Age is another important factor. Sometimes a watch can be just too old and worn out. While at other times a watch will take on vintage status and become quite collectable and highly sought after.
Original Box and Certificate Papers
Having the original box and certificate papers bring substantial value to a watch. Some dealer will not buy a watch without box and papers.
Market Value
As with all things, the market determines the value. Some watches like Submariners have a constant pent up demand for them. Market forces push up values.
Model Number
Ascertaining the model or reference number is the first thing needed to done when trying to value a watch. This is where a company like Harold Freeman Jewelers can help in identifying the reference number of your timepiece.
