Sell or trade your watch
We buy the same watches we sell — Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier and the rest. Send a few photographs and the reference number and you will have a firm figure, not a range, usually within the hour.
How it works
1. Tell us what you have
Message us on WhatsApp at +1 (430) 368-1076, or email info@collectorschronos.com. Include the reference number from the papers or between the lugs, a photograph of the dial, one of the caseback, and anything you have by way of box, papers, receipts or service records.
2. We make you a firm offer
A specialist prices your watch against what it is genuinely trading for this week — not a book value from last year. You get one number, in writing, with the reasoning behind it. There is no obligation and no pressure to accept.
3. Ship it to us, fully insured, at our cost
If you accept, we send a prepaid and fully insured shipping label. Your watch is covered door to door for its full agreed value. If you are in or near Austin, bring it to us by appointment instead.
4. You are paid the day it arrives
We inspect the watch against the photographs you sent. Assuming it is as described, payment goes out the same day by bank wire or Zelle. If anything differs from the description we call you first — we never quietly revise an offer downward and hope you accept.
Trading against a purchase
You can put any watch you own against anything in our catalogue. Trade values are typically stronger than a straight sale because we are earning on both sides of the transaction, and the paperwork is settled in a single invoice.
Consignment on rare references
For genuinely scarce pieces — early Daytonas, discontinued dial variants, full sets in unworn condition — consignment often nets you more than an outright sale. We photograph, catalogue and market the watch, hold it insured in our vault, and pay you on completion less an agreed commission. Ask a specialist whether your watch suits this route.
