Types of Gold Watches We Buy

  1. Solid Gold Watches – Full 18K or 14K gold watches command the highest payouts.

  2. Two-Tone Watches – Stainless steel combined with gold still retains significant value.

  3. Vintage Timepieces – Older watches may carry both gold content value and collector interest.

  4. Broken or Non-Functional Watches – Even if your watch no longer works, the gold content is valuable.

  5. Luxury Brand Watches – Watches from Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe, and others are highly sought after, sometimes adding a premium above gold value.

Tip: Bring all accompanying items (box, papers, and extra links) as these can help confirm authenticity and sometimes add value.

  • Weight – Heavier watches yield higher payouts.

  • Brand & Rarity – Certain models, limited editions, or rare vintage watches can command premiums.

Tips to Maximize Your Watch Payout

  1. Separate Gold & Non-Gold Watches – Knowing the metal content ensures accurate offers.

  3. Bring Documentation if Available – Certificates, receipts, or boxes can help verify authenticity.

  4. Check Spot Prices – Gold fluctuates daily; timing can slightly increase payout.
