Consigning a Luxury Watch at WatchCraze

At WatchCraze, consigning a high-end watch involves a set of clear steps centred on eligibility, expert appraisal, targeted marketing, and an upfront fee structure. We work to ensure a transparent and fair process so that sellers can partner with us confidently.

Eligibility Requirements

We accept watches from a range of luxury brands, but there are some conditions. The watch should typically be in good working order, free from significant damage, and accompanied by original paperwork and packaging whenever possible.

We may require proof of purchase or authenticity, especially for high-value items or popular brands like Rolex or Omega. If your watch has been serviced, service records help but are not always mandatory.

Our team reserves the right to reject items that do not meet authenticity or condition standards. Limited editions or rare models usually have higher acceptance rates, but even mainstream luxury brands are considered if they are genuine and well-maintained.

Valuation and Appraisal Process

Once we receive a watch for consignment, our experienced specialists carry out a thorough physical inspection. We assess key factors including brand, model, age, condition, original box, papers, and market demand.

An independent appraisal may be performed for rare or high-value timepieces. We use recent sales data to establish a fair market value, aiming for accuracy and current trends.

We provide a valuation report outlining the likely selling price and relevant factors that influenced the estimate. The owner receives a copy and has an opportunity to clarify any details or ask questions before proceeding.

Listing and Marketing Strategies

We list each consigned watch professionally on our website and directly market to our network of luxury watch collectors and enthusiasts. Professional photography is used to highlight details and unique features.

Detailed descriptions include brand history, specific model information, and condition notes. Listings are promoted via social media and, where appropriate, influencer collaborations to attract the right buyers.

For high-interest timepieces, we may run targeted advertising campaigns. Our sales team is available to answer buyer queries, supporting a smooth transaction process while keeping sellers updated.

Completing Your Luxury Watch Consignment

We guide our clients through every stage to ensure a secure transaction, transparent processes, and reliable support. Our process is designed for clarity and peace of mind at each step.

Shipping and Insurance Procedures

Once your consignment agreement is in place, we provide specific instructions for securely packaging your watch. We recommend using bubble wrap, a sturdy box, and including all original accessories.

Shipping labels are generated through trusted carriers. All packages sent to WatchCraze are fully insured to the market value of your timepiece during transit, minimising the risk of loss or theft.

Upon receipt, our team notifies you immediately, logs your watch into our system, and stores it in a secure, monitored facility. Each item is inspected and verified before listing for sale.

Sale Finalisation Steps

After a buyer commits to purchase your watch, we conduct final authenticity checks and quality control assessments. This ensures your watch matches the description and meets our standards.

The sale is confirmed once all details are verified. We handle buyer communication and arrange for collection or delivery, keeping you informed throughout.

A detailed sale confirmation is provided, outlining the final selling price, consignment fee, and estimated payment date. No additional action is required on your part during this stage.

After-Sale Support and Payment

Once the transaction is finalised, our finance team processes your payment securely by bank transfer or your chosen method. Funds are typically released within a set period after buyer payment clears.

We remain available for any post-sale questions or requests. Should there be any issues with the transaction, returns, or warranty matters, our team manages communications directly with the buyer.

All records of the consignment, sale, and payment are available on request. We are committed to transparency and ongoing client support well after your watch has sold.
