How It Works: 4 Simple Steps
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you source any luxury watch?
In most cases, yes. We regularly source pieces from leading brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier, Richard Mille, and more, including many hard-to-find sports and limited references. Extremely rare pieces may require more time or flexibility on budget and condition.
How long does the sourcing process take?
Timelines vary by model and market availability. Some watches can be located and delivered within a few days, while rare, discontinued, or highly in-demand models may take longer. We provide realistic time estimates upfront and keep you informed at every stage.
Do I need to know the exact reference number?
Not necessarily. If you don’t know the reference, details like brand, model family (for example, Submariner or Nautilus), dial color, metal, approximate year, and wrist size help us narrow down options. Photos or inspiration images are also very useful.
Is there any obligation once I submit a sourcing request?
No. Initial consultations and option lists are obligation-free. You only commit once you’ve selected a watch, agreed on the price, and we’ve confirmed availability and timeline.
How do you ensure the sourced watch is authentic?
We only work with trusted partners and conduct our own authentication and condition checks when the watch arrives at our Houston facility. When possible, we prioritize pieces with original box, papers, and manufacturer documentation, and we stand behind every watch we deliver.
Do original box and papers matter for sourcing?
Yes. If you prefer a full set, let us know in your request and we’ll prioritize options that include original box, papers, and accessories. These often enhance long-term value and collectability.
How is pricing determined for a sourced watch?
Pricing is based on current market values, model demand, condition, completeness (box/papers), and our acquisition costs. We are transparent about these factors and aim to offer competitive, fair pricing in line with the broader secondary market.
What payment methods do you accept for sourced watches?
We typically accept bank wire and other secure methods similar to our regular sales channels, ensuring a smooth and protected transaction for both parties.
Can I trade in a watch toward a sourced piece?
Yes, in many cases you can apply the value of a watch you sell or trade to us toward your sourced purchase. We’ll coordinate your trade-in valuation and sourcing quote together so you have a clear net cost.
