Weston · Broward County · by appointment
Sell your watch in Weston.
Weston is one of the Broward cities I serve. I drive up for appraisals, and for everything else an insured courier does the trip. Either way, the offer comes from one person who has looked at the watch.
- An appointment in Broward, at a time that suits you
- Or a prepaid, fully insured FedEx label to your door
- A personal reply to your photos within 1 business day
Who this page is for
A watch in Weston, and a decision to make.
This page is for someone in Weston with a watch to sell or trade: a Rolex, a Patek Philippe, an Audemars Piguet, a Cartier, or another of the brands I buy. You want a real number, and you want to know whether you have to drive anywhere to get it.
The first step is the same for everyone. Fill in the appraisal form, attach photos, and tell me what you know about the watch. I read every submission myself and reply within 1 business day with an offer and the reasoning behind it.
Then you choose. Broward clients tend to be longer-time collectors, and I drive up for appraisals. Or you take the prepaid FedEx label, insured to the declared value. Weston sits at the western edge of the county, at the I-75 and I-595 interchange, so both options are straightforward.
What you get
Four things that hold whether we meet or you ship.
I come to Broward
I meet clients in their county, not mine. For Broward appraisals, I drive up. You pick the place and the hour, Monday to Saturday, after hours by request.
The label, if you would rather stay home
Prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight on my account, insured to the declared value, signature required at both ends. The insured courier handles everything the drive does not.
One person reads the watch
No grading team, no call centre. The person who replies to your photos opens the case back and pays you.
Paid within 24 hours of inspection
Wire or certified check once I have inspected the watch and confirmed the offer. No holds, no waiting for a resale.
Before you write
What I buy, and what to have ready.
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin
The core of what I buy: sports and dress references, modern and vintage, with or without papers.
Cartier, Omega, Breitling, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Tudor, Panerai, IWC, Zenith
Bought on the same terms. A Santos, a Speedmaster, a Navitimer, or a Reverso gets the same reply in 1 business day.
What I do not buy
Smartwatches, fashion-brand watches, and projects without provenance. If yours is one of these, I will say so rather than waste your time.
What to photograph
The dial straight on in daylight, the case back, the clasp open, the reference and serial between the lugs if you can read them, and the card or papers beside the watch.
What to bring to an appointment
The watch, the box, the papers or warranty card, any spare links, and any service receipts. Missing pieces are fine; tell me so the offer accounts for them.
How it works
Four steps, from Weston or anywhere in Broward.
01
Get an offer
Submit the form with photos and what you know: reference, year if you have it, service history, whether the box and papers are with it. I reply personally within 1 business day.
02
Meet, or ship
I drive up to Broward for appraisals, so we can meet at a place you choose in Weston or nearby. If you would rather not wait for a visit, the prepaid insured label is in your inbox the same day.
03
Inspect and confirm
In person I check the case, movement, serials, and papers while you watch. A shipped watch is opened on camera and inspected the same way. If it matches the photos, the offer stands.
04
Get paid
Wire or certified check within 24 hours of inspection. If we do not agree, the watch goes back to you insured, at my cost.
Meet or ship
Meet in Broward, or ship on the label.
Both end at the same inspection and the same payment. The difference is who travels.
| Criteria | Meet in Broward | Ship on the label |
|---|---|---|
| Who travels | I do. I drive up for Broward appraisals. | FedEx does, on a prepaid Priority Overnight label. |
| Insurance | The watch never leaves your hands until we agree. | Insured to the declared value, signature required at both ends. |
| Where the inspection happens | In front of you, at the place you choose. | At my desk, with the box opened on camera. |
| Timing | A time we agree on, Monday to Saturday, after hours by request. | Overnight after pickup; inspected on receipt. |
| What you need to do | Have the watch, box, and papers together. | Pack it, attach the label, and hand it to FedEx. |
| When it suits you | You want to see the inspection and ask questions in person. | You would rather not schedule anything, or you are travelling. |
USA only for the label. Either way, payment is wire or check within 24 hours of inspection.
The detail
Selling from Weston, explained.
How an appointment works from Weston
Weston is named on my Broward page: it is part of the county I drive up to. Broward clients tend to be longer-time collectors, and for an appraisal I come to you. You tell me a place and a window; I bring a loupe, a light, and the comparables for your reference.
Most of Weston is gated. That changes nothing about the appointment except that you clear me with the gate first. The city sits at the I-75 and I-595 interchange, so the route up from Miami is expressway the whole way, and meeting here is easy to schedule.
Or ship it: the label, the insurance, the camera
If you would rather not block out an afternoon, I send a prepaid FedEx Priority Overnight label, insured to the declared value, signature required at both ends. The insured courier handles the rest, and it works just as well from Weston.
When the box reaches my desk, I open it on camera. The recording protects you as much as me: the watch that comes out is the watch that was packed. The inspection is the same as it would be at your kitchen table.
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. Modern or vintage, full set or head only. I do not buy smartwatches, fashion-brand watches, or projects without provenance.
What to prepare before you write
Photos in daylight, no flash. The reference and serial if you can read them. The warranty card or papers, or a note that they are missing. Service history, including anything replaced. The better the submission, the closer the first number is to the final one.
If what you really want is a different watch, the appraisal becomes trade credit against anything in the catalog or a piece I source to order. Purchased pieces are hand delivered to South Florida residents at no charge.
If what you really want is a different watch, the appraisal becomes trade credit. I apply it against anything in the catalog or a piece I source to order. Purchased pieces are hand delivered to South Florida residents at no charge, so the new watch can arrive the same way the old one left.
When selling to a dealer is not the right call
If you have months to spare and enjoy the process, a private sale may bring more, and I will tell you so after I see the watch. If the piece is sentimental and you are not sure, keep it; an offer from me is not a deadline. If it is a replica, I will say so and decline.
How to prepare your submission
- Dial straight on in daylight, then the case back and the clasp open.
- The reference and serial between the lugs, if you can read them.
- The card or papers beside the watch, or a note that they are missing.
- Service history and anything replaced, or say you do not know.
- Whether you would like to meet in Broward or receive the label.
