Who this page is for
A Boca seller, a form, and a choice.
For anyone in Boca Raton with a luxury watch to sell or trade who wants to know how the meeting part works before filling in a form. Boca is the one Palm Beach County city I put a rhythm on: I'm there twice a month.
The first step is the same wherever you are. Submit the appraisal form with photos and what you know. I reply within 1 business day with a real number.
Then you choose. Hand it to me on my next Boca day, or take the prepaid label and let FedEx carry it overnight, insured. Both end with an inspection and payment within 24 hours of it.
Why this works from Boca
Twice a month, in person. Or overnight, insured.
Boca, twice a month
Two dates each month. Book the next one and the inspection happens in front of you, in your county.
The label if the dates do not suit
If my next Boca day is too far off, the prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight label gets the watch to me sooner, insured, signature at both ends.
One person, start to finish
The person who replies to your form meets you, inspects the watch, and sends the wire.
Paid within 24 hours of inspection
Wire or certified check within 24 hours of the inspection. No deal, and it goes back insured, at my cost.
What to send, what to bring

The detail
Selling a watch from Boca Raton, in full.
How an appointment works from Boca Raton
The county page says it in one line: I'm in Boca twice a month. Once you have a number, we pick a date from those visits, I inspect the watch in front of you, and the offer is confirmed on the spot. Boca sits at the southern end of the county, against the Broward line, on I-95, the Turnpike, and US-1; if it is an easy drive from elsewhere in the county, my Boca days are the fixed points on the calendar. Palm Beach proper I schedule around the season.
Or ship it: the label, the insurance, the camera
If the next Boca date is too far off, the label is faster: prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight, insured to the declared value, signature at both ends, USA only. I open the box on camera and inspect the watch the same way I would in person. If something does not match your photos, I call first.
What I buy, and what I do not
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Tudor, Panerai, IWC, and Zenith. A full set is easier to price; a bare watch still gets a number. Not bought: smartwatches, fashion-brand watches, projects without provenance.
Trade instead of sell
If what you really want is a different watch, say so on the form. Your piece becomes credit against the catalog or a piece I source to order. Purchased pieces are hand delivered to South Florida residents at no charge, so a Boca trade can close in one meeting.
When selling to a dealer is not the right call
If you have months to spare and the patience to vet buyers, a private sale may net more, and I will say so. If the watch is the one your father wore, keep it. If it is a replica, I will say so and decline it.
How to prepare your submission
- Dial straight on in daylight, no flash.
- Case back and the serial between the lugs, if readable.
- Clasp open, spare links beside it.
- Card or papers next to the watch, or say they are missing.
- Boca day or label, and when you are free.
Boca Raton
A real number, then a Boca date or a label.
Send the photos and the reference. I reply within 1 business day, meet you on my next Boca day or ship a label, and pay within 24 hours of inspection.
