  The following is an example showing where the serial # is located:

• How do I determine the Condition?

  Please use the Condition Grading Scale to best determine the condition of your Rolex…

  • Brand New [10]

    New. Perfect condition and never worn. The watch has the original manufacture’s protective plastic (if applicable). It comes with original box and papers. It is working properly, keeping very good time.

  • Never Worn [9.8 to 9.9]

  • Super Mint Condition [9.7 to 9.8]

    Perfect. Looks never worn. As close to new as you can get for a preowned watch. This is the equivalent of a new watch that does not have the original manufacture’s protective plastic (if applicable). If you remove the protective plastic from a brand new watch, and have not yet worn the watch, it is now in Super Mint Condition. It may or may not come with original box or papers. It is working properly, keeping very good time.

  • Mint Condition [9.5 to 9.7]

    Near perfect. Looks like new on the wrist. Signs of wear are only visible with a loupe. The band has no stretch or wear. The watch is working properly, keeping very good time.

  • Super Excellent Condition [8.5 to 9.5]

    Super nice. Very light signs of wear. Watches with the original band will have minimal stretch between the links. The watch is working properly, keeping very good time.

  • Excellent Condition [7.0 to 8.5]

    Nice. Signs of normal careful wear. Watches with the original band will have moderate stretch between the links. Some older watches with the original band may have more than moderate stretch. The watch is working properly, keeping good time, but may gain or lose up to 30 seconds over 24 hours (unless the watch has been serviced).

  • Fair Condition [5.0 to 7.0]

    Fair. Signs of heavy wear. Watch may have a few dings, nicks, or deep scratches The band has severe stretch between the links. The watch is working, but may gain or lose a few minutes over 24 hours (unless the watch has been serviced).

  • Poor Condition [Less than 5]

    Poor. Signs of extreme heavy wear, damage, or abuse. Major cosmetic and/or mechanical flaws that directly affect the integrity of the watch. The watch may be missing parts and/or may not run at all. We do not recommend this watch to be worn in this condition. Requires a lot of work to be made wearable.

    This timepiece is most suitable for:

    • A watchmaker looking for a “parts” watch so they can use the “usable” parts to service or restore their customer’s watches.
    • A buyer that is looking for a challenging “fixer upper” watch. A speculative timepiece. They understand that lot of work must be done to this watch to be made wearable.
    • A buyer that is looking to replace a “lost” or “family heirloom” watch that in this condition. For many people, a Rolex is so much more than just a timepiece.

• What Determines the Value?

  The key factors to determining the price and value of a Rolex are based on:

  • Model Name
  • Model reference number
  • Serial number/age
  • Condition
  • Box and Papers
  • Originality (if all parts are Rolex or if there are any customized or non-Rolex parts).

• Is the Quote Guaranteed?

  We cannot guarantee a quote until we are able to physically inspect the watch. For the circumstance where it is determined that the watch we receive is not as described or worth less than the value we quoted, we reserve the right to promptly return the watch to you at no cost to you. We may also, at our discretion, give you the option of accepting a lesser payment for the watch.

• What Happens to Counterfeit or Stolen Merchandise?

  If we receive counterfeit or stolen merchandise we will turn over the merchandise, and all correspondence related to the merchandise, to the appropriate authorities. If you are uncertain about the authenticity of your watch, we recommend that you bring it to a local watch repair professional for inspection prior to shipping it to us.

• How Should the Watch be Shipped?

  • The safest and most cost effective shipping method for people who are not Jewelers is USPS Registered Mail (insured for the trade/purchase quote).
  • UPS is very reliable, but costs more. If using via UPS, please send it via UPS 2nd day air or Next Day Air (insured for the trade/purchase quote).
  • We do not recommend FedEx or DHL as they have a $500 insurance limit on jewelry, wristwatches and gemstones.  We are not responsible for watches lost or damaged in transit to us.  This is why insuring your Rolex and recording your watch’s information is so important.

• VERY IMPORTANT

  • Make sure you write down the serial # and model # of your Rolex prior to shipping.
  • Make sure you have provided us with accurate information and have disclosed all known issues and/or concerns.
