Understanding The Process

We make the process of selling or part-exchanging your wristwatch as streamlined as possible. Our website has an online form which you can complete to gain an indication of price from our Pre-Owned Watch Manager, Chris Haynes or if you prefer you can visit any of our stores for an appraisal where a member of our team can inspect your Rolex or Patek Philippe, as well as its accompanying documentation, in further detail.

Our Part-Exchange Service

As an Authorised Retailer of Rolex and Patek Philippe watches, our showrooms have a comprehensive knowledge of both previous and current collections and would be happy to guide you through the part-exchange service we offer for both of these brands.

On each part-exchange price offered we conduct an examination of your watch, its condition and the documentation you have. There are a number of factors which could affect the overall value of your watch including any significant marks, its authenticity and documentation as well as its age.

This process has been created to ensure we can offer you a price which is both competitive and accurate alongside the service you always receive at Prestons.

Our Buy-In Service

In the same method as part-exchange, if you are considering selling your Rolex or Patek Philippe wristwatch, a member of our team will carry out a thorough assessment of your watch or watches, their condition and their documentation. The process has been designed based on our experience with luxury wristwatches and ensures that the journey of selling your wristwatch is not only an easy one but one that you can trust.

If you decide to sell your wristwatch to us, the final step of the process is payment. Our finance team will ensure, once a price is agreed and the relevant documentation is completed, that payment is made by bank transfer as soon as possible.
