Watch Underwriting

For a competitive valuation and impeccable customer service experience, you can rely on Blowers Jewellers’ luxury watch underwriting service to assist.

How Everything Works

We’ve made the process of offloading unwanted luxury watches as simple and hassle-free as possible. Here’s how it works:

1.

Make an Initial Enquiry

Simply get in touch with a member of our team and provide us with a few details about the watch you’d like to sell. We’ll then give you a quote based on what we believe is the best possible price.

2.

Send Us the Watch

If you’re happy with the price we’ve quoted, send your timepiece to us or visit us at one of our stores. When received, we’ll examine the item to ensure that it’s in the condition you described during your enquiry.

3.

Receive Your Money

Provided the watch is in the advertised condition, we’ll pay the full quote usually within 48 hours. We will never look for ways to undercut our quote on receipt of the timepiece, so you can be confident you’re in safe hands.

Why Use a Watch Underwriting Service

The market for luxury watches, especially pre-owned models, is booming. More and more people are seeing the value in purchasing a timepiece from renowned brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Patek Philippe and using them as investment opportunities — rather than just simply something to occasionally wear on the wrist. Certain models hold their value extremely well, while others can even increase in value.

In times of economic uncertainty, people will traditionally shun more volatile assets such as cash, stocks or savings and put their money into stable items — with luxury watches becoming ever more popular. As a result, we are seeing timepiece enthusiasts using their watches as part-payment for high-value items such as cars and even boats.

This then creates an issue for the vendor, as they are potentially left with a watch when they would much prefer the cash equivalent. This is where a watch underwriting service can help. The providers will purchase the timepiece you’re trying to sell, so you get the funds in the form you were looking for.

A reliable watch underwriting service, such as ours, means you don’t have to think twice about whether to accept a luxury watch as part-payment. Provided the timepiece is in the advertised condition, you will easily be able to pass it on in exchange for cash.

Why Work with Blowers Jewellers

If you’re looking to sell a luxury watch but don’t know too much about the market, you’ll want to be sure you’re dealing with a reputable company you can trust. For over 50 years Blowers Jewellers has cultivated a strong reputation for quality and reliability. We’ve built long-standing relationships with many authorised dealers, as well as independent watch and jewellery specialists.

There are many potential avenues to explore when selling a watch. You could go to pawn shops or even Facebook to track down a potential buyer. Whatever option you choose, it’s important to do your research beforehand. Unfortunately, some people will offer a higher quote than they will be prepared to pay, and then find numerous reasons why they have to give you a much lower price once the timepiece is in their possession. This is something that Blowers Jewellers will never do. Provided the watch is in the same condition as advertised, the price we quote is the price we pay.

Need a quick sale? No problem! Our buying team will handle all underwriting enquiries within 24 hours. Once we’ve received your timepiece, we’ll then perform all the necessary checks and issue the payment in a further 48 hours. A simple and straightforward process that you can trust. That’s what Blowers Jewellers is all about.
