Sell or Consign Your Luxury Watch in Australia
Selling your luxury watch in Australia is simple with WatchCraze. We provide a free, no-obligation valuation within 24 hours. You can choose an outright sale for immediate payment or opt for our professional consignment service, which achieves 10-15% higher returns for your timepiece.
Get a free, no-obligation valuation within 24 hours. Sell outright for a faster payment or consign your watch if you are prepared to wait for a buyer.
When you sell a luxury watch, the first things to work out are its current value, how quickly you want to be paid and whether an outright sale or consignment makes more sense.

Tell us a few details about your watch and how you want to sell it. Our team will use this information to prepare your valuation.

Sell Outright or Consign: Which Pays More?
Consignment gives you 10-15% more than an outright offer. We quote the commission upfront and you can set a minimum price for your watch.
Sell outright and get paid the same day
We buy your watch at an agreed, fair wholesale price. There's no fee and no waiting for a buyer. Once the watch passes inspection, we pay you by bank transfer, usually the same day. It's the right fit if you want the money now or simply want the sale done.
Consign for a higher return
We authenticate, photograph, list and market your watch in our showrooms, on watchcraze.com.au and on Chrono24. Consignment can achieve 10-15% more than an outright offer. The 10-15% commission is quoted upfront, and you can set a minimum price for your watch.
| Sell outright | Consign | |
|---|---|---|
| Payout | Fixed offer, agreed upfront | Market price, less commission |
| Commission | None. | 10-15% |
| Timing | Fast | When a buyer appears |
| Ownership | Ours once you're paid | Yours until it sells |
Trade in towards your next watch
If you are short on time, selling outright may be the better option: one offer, one inspection and payment on the same day you accept the price. You can also trade in your watch towards your next one from our collection. Choose trade in on the form and tell us which watch you're interested in.
How to Sell Your Watch with WatchCraze
Four steps from first message to payment. Most sellers start online and only visit a showroom once they're happy with the number. You can stop at any point: the valuation is free and there's no obligation to sell.

What Is My Watch Worth?
Several details can affect what your watch is worth.
Condition, rarity and demand
Apart from the brand, model and current demand, the condition, rarity, market demand, service history and overall age can also affect the valuation.
Box, papers and service history
Having the original box and papers can help too, especially for sought-after luxury watches. Service records, warranty cards and other original documents can also give buyers more confidence in the watch's history.
Dealer offer or market price
There is also a difference between the price a dealer offers to buy your watch and its wider market price. An outright offer reflects what the dealer is prepared to pay now. The market price can be higher when the watch is sold directly to an end buyer, which is where watch consignment in Australia may have an advantage. The trade-off is that consignment takes longer and includes a commission.
How to Get the Best Price for Your Watch
A few simple steps can help your watch make the best impression during a valuation.
Take clear photos
Start with clear pictures of your watch in natural daylight. Ensure that the dial, case back and clasp are clearly visible. Do not try to hide scratches or wear. Don't polish or service before selling. The original finish is part of the condition being valued.
Prepare the documents
Get the box, papers, warranty card, receipts and service records ready before the valuation assessment is done. You should also ask about insured shipping before sending the watch.
Where to Sell a Luxury Watch in Australia
The right place depends on how quickly you want to sell and how much of the process you want to manage yourself.
Private sales and marketplaces
Selling luxury watches privately or through a marketplace could give you access to a large audience and control over the asking price, but dealing with enquiries, payments and shipping also falls on you. It can take longer to find the right buyer.
Auction houses
An auction house might be a good idea for rare models, but the final price is uncertain and the process can involve fees and a waiting period.
Jewellers and pawnbrokers
Selling via jewellers and pawnbrokers can be a quicker option, but their offers vary a lot. It may not give you the same selling reach as a specialist dealer.
Specialist watch dealers
A specialist dealer like WatchCraze handles everything from the valuation and watch authentication to photography, listing and buyer enquiries. Our presence on Chrono24 can also give listed watches access to a wider pool of buyers. It gives you a balance between speed, price and lower selling risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sellers ask us most.
How quickly will I receive payment for my watch?
For an outright sale, payment can be made the same day after the watch has been inspected and you have accepted the offer.
Do you buy all luxury watch brands?
WatchCraze deals with 40+ luxury brands, including Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier and Richard Mille. If you're unsure about your watch, send the reference and the team can assess it.
Is my watch insured while in your possession?
WatchCraze states that Australian delivery is fully tracked and insured. If you are sending a watch, confirm the current shipping and insurance arrangements before dispatch.
Why should I choose a dealer over selling privately?
A specialist dealer can handle the valuation, watch authentication, listing, buyer enquiries and payment process. You also avoid managing multiple private buyers yourself.
How quickly will I get a valuation?
WhatsApp is the quickest way to start. An indicative offer is usually available within the hour.
What commission does WatchCraze charge for consignment?
The commission is quoted upfront and is usually between 10 and 15%, depending on the watch.
Can I sell a watch without the box and papers?
Yes. You can still request a valuation, although missing original items can affect the price.
