Sell Now & Buy Back Later

Sell us your watch today and be paid today. Then, if you want it back, buy it back within a window you choose, at a price fixed before you sign.

No interest. No fees. No obligation to buy it back. Agreed in person, in writing, with the full terms in your hand before anything is signed.

In plain words

This is a sale, not a loan. When you sell us the watch, it becomes ours and the money is yours to keep. You are never in debt to us. What you get on top is an option: the right, but not the obligation, to buy the watch back at a fixed price within 30, 60 or 90 days. If you don't, the option simply ends and you owe nothing.

What it is, and what it isn't

It is

  • An outright sale of your watch to us, paid by bank transfer on the day.
  • A written option to buy it back at a fixed price, within the window you choose.
  • A price that never rises during your window, with nothing added to it.
  • Your choice: use the option, or don't. Either way, you owe us nothing.

It isn't

  • A loan, credit agreement or pawn. There is no borrowing, no interest and no repayment.
  • A promise to hold the watch for you beyond your window. When the window ends, so does the option.
  • Extendable. You choose 30, 60 or 90 days once, before signing, and it stays chosen.
  • Done online or by post. Every agreement is explained and signed in person.

Choose your window

30
days

Shortest window, lowest buy-back price.

60
days

More breathing room, at a slightly higher fixed price.

90
days

The longest window we offer, at the highest of the three fixed prices.

Before you sign, we show you all three buy-back prices side by side. You pick one, and that price is written into your agreement. It's fixed on the day and will not change. The buy-back price is normally higher than the price we pay you; the difference is agreed up front, shown to you in full, and is the only sum you would ever pay under the agreement.

How it works

1
Bring the watch in

By appointment. We inspect and authenticate it with you there, and record its condition with photographs.

2
We agree the prices

The price we pay you today, and the three fixed buy-back prices for 30, 60 and 90 days. All on one page, before you decide.

3
You're paid and you sign

You choose your window, we sign the agreement together, and the money is sent by bank transfer to an account in your name. Never cash.

4
Buy it back, or don't

Pay the fixed price by bank transfer any time before your window ends, and collect the watch in person. Or let the window pass and walk away owing nothing.

Common questions

Is this a loan?

No. You are selling the watch to us and it becomes ours. There is nothing to repay and no interest. The option to buy it back is a separate right we give you at the same time, and using it is entirely your choice.

What if I miss my deadline?

The option ends automatically and the watch stays ours. You owe nothing and you won't be chased for anything. We don't extend windows, so please choose one you're confident about.

Will I get anything if you later sell the watch?

No. Once the option has ended, the watch is ours to keep or sell, and there's no share of any later sale. Equally, you have nothing further to pay.

Can I pay part now and the rest later?

No. The buy-back price must reach us in full, in cleared funds, before your window ends. Part payments are returned.

Can someone else collect it or buy it back for me?

The option is personal to you. You collect the watch yourself, with photo ID. The only exception is your personal representatives, should the worst happen.

What will you need from me?

Photo ID and proof of address, confirmation that you own the watch outright and it isn't subject to any finance, and a UK bank account in your own name. You must be 18 or over.

Which watches qualify?

We look at every watch individually. Box and papers help but aren't essential. Ask us, and we'll tell you before you come in.

Can we do this by post or online?

No. The watch is inspected, the prices agreed and the paperwork signed face to face. It's the only way we're comfortable doing it, and it protects you too.

Ask about your watch

Tell us what you have and which window you're thinking about. We'll come back to you personally, usually the same day, and arrange a time to meet.

An enquiry isn't an agreement and doesn't commit either of us. Nothing is decided until we've met, inspected the watch, and you've read and signed the written terms.
