Selling a watch without box and papers

No, box and papers are not a requirement. We also value watches with no box and no documents.

What changes

Box and papers (the "full set") show that the watch is original and complete, and the market pays for them: without them the offer may be a little lower. How much depends on the model and its condition: we tell you explicitly when we make the offer.

What you need to sell it anyway

• sharp photos of dial, case, caseback and bracelet;
• the reference number, to check that the watch is what you say it is;
• everything you have: even just an invoice, a service record or the spare bracelet links count.

If you find the documents

You can bring them to the meeting: we check them together with the watch and, if they are original, we take them into account in the offer.

How it works

You send the photos on WhatsApp and receive the offer, usually within 24 working hours. We meet by appointment, in Lugano or at your place, and payment is made right away, in cash or by instant bank transfer.
