Sunny Isles Beach · Miami-Dade · by appointment
Sell your watch in Sunny Isles Beach.
You are at the north end of my county, and most of my book is in Miami-Dade. I meet at offices in Brickell and residences in Coral Gables, by appointment. From this far up the coast, many people prefer the prepaid insured FedEx label, and that works just as well.
- Appointments in Miami-Dade, Monday to Saturday
- Prepaid, fully insured FedEx Priority Overnight label
- A personal reply within 1 business day
Who this page is for
At the top of the coast, a long way from Brickell, one label away.
This page is for someone in Sunny Isles Beach with a watch to sell or trade. Sunny Isles Beach is a barrier-island city at the north-east corner of Miami-Dade County, with the ocean on one side, the Intracoastal on the other, and Collins Avenue running down its length. This page explains how a sale from here works and stops there.
The first step is the appraisal form: photos, the reference if you know it, the papers you hold. I read it myself and reply within 1 business day with a number and the reasoning behind it.
Then you choose how the watch reaches an inspection. An appointment in Miami-Dade, where I meet at offices in Brickell and residences in Coral Gables, or a prepaid insured label so FedEx handles the distance. The offer is the same either way.
What you get
Four things that hold from one end of the county to the other.
The label, built for the distance
Prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight on my account, insured to the declared value, signature required at pickup and delivery. USA only.
Or an appointment in Miami-Dade
I meet at offices in Brickell and residences in Coral Gables, Monday to Saturday by appointment, after hours by request.
Inspected by hand, on camera if shipped
Case, movement, serial, papers. Shipped, the box is opened on camera the day it arrives; in person, you watch.
Wire or check within 24 hours of inspection
Your choice. If we do not agree, the watch goes back to you on the same insured service, at my cost.
Before you write
Brands, exclusions, and what to have ready.
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier
Bought outright or credited in trade.
Omega, Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre
And Tudor, Panerai, IWC, Zenith.
Not bought
Smartwatches, fashion-brand watches, projects without provenance. Replicas are declined.
Photos that get a firm number
Dial straight on in daylight, case back, clasp open, serial between the lugs if readable, card or papers in the same frame as the watch.
For an appointment
The watch, papers or warranty card, box, spare links, service receipts. Tell me in the form what is missing.
How it works
Four steps, from Collins Avenue to a wire.
01
Get an offer
Submit photos and details through the form. I reply personally within 1 business day with a number I can explain.
02
Ship or meet
Take the prepaid insured label, or book an appointment in Miami-Dade. I meet at offices in Brickell and residences in Coral Gables; from the north end of the coast, the label is often the easier choice.
03
Inspect and confirm
Shipped, I open the box on camera and inspect the same day. In person, I inspect in front of you. If the watch matches the photos, the offer stands.
04
Get paid
Wire or check within 24 hours of inspection. No deal, and the watch returns insured at my cost.
Meet or ship
Down the coast, or onto a FedEx truck.
Two routes, one inspection, one payout.
| Criteria | Meet in Miami-Dade | Ship on the label |
|---|---|---|
| Who issues what | We agree a time and a place in the county | I email a prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight label |
| Insurance | The watch stays with you until we agree | Insured to the declared value, signature at both ends |
| Where it is inspected | In front of you | At my desk, box opened on camera |
| Your part | Bring the watch, papers, box, and links | Pack it, hand it to FedEx, keep the tracking number |
| Choose it when | You want to be in the room for the inspection | The drive down the county is not worth it to you |
The detail
Selling from Sunny Isles Beach, in plain terms.
How an appointment works from Sunny Isles Beach
I meet clients in their county, not mine. Most of my book is in Miami-Dade, and the habit is offices in Brickell and residences in Coral Gables, by appointment, Monday to Saturday, after hours by request. Sunny Isles Beach is at the far north-east of the county, on the barrier island, with Collins Avenue down its spine and causeways west over the Intracoastal to I-95. Brickell is a real drive from here. That does not rule an appointment out; it just means the label deserves an honest look first.
Or ship it: the label, the insurance, the camera
I email a prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight label on my account, insured to the declared value, with a signature at pickup and again at my door. USA only. Pack the watch in its pouch or box, the papers in an envelope, and pad the box so nothing shifts. When it arrives I open the box on camera and inspect the watch the same day. If we do not make a deal, it goes back on the same insured service, and the cost is mine.
What I buy, and what I do not
Bought: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Tudor, Panerai, IWC, and Zenith. Not bought: smartwatches, fashion-brand watches, and projects without provenance. Missing papers are not a problem on their own. A history that does not hold together is.
What to prepare before you write
Daylight, no flash, the list at the end of this page. Add what you know about service, and whether you want cash or credit toward another piece.
Trade instead of sell
If the goal is a different watch rather than money, mark the form as a trade. I credit your current piece against anything in the catalog or against a watch sourced to order; the trade page explains how the credit is applied. Purchased pieces are hand delivered to South Florida residents at no charge, so a trade does not have to mean another shipment.
When selling to a dealer is not the right call
A private sale can net more if you have the months and the patience, and I will tell you so when I see the piece. A watch that matters for who wore it is worth more on the wrist than in any offer. A replica is declined.
How to prepare your submission
- Dial straight on in daylight, no flash.
- Case back, and the serial between the lugs if you can read it.
- Clasp open, inside visible.
- Warranty card or papers beside the watch, or a note that they are missing.
- Box, spare links, and service receipts, listed.
- Ship on the label or meet in Miami-Dade: tell me which.
