Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to receive my payment?
Speed is a cornerstone of our service. Once your timepiece arrives at our vault and passes physical inspection, we initiate payment immediately. Wire transfers typically settle the same day or within 24 business hours depending on your financial institution.
What factors directly influence the cash offer for my watch?
Watch valuations are determined by brand prestige, reference rarity, physical condition, mechanical health, current secondary market demand, and completeness (presence of original box, warranty papers, tags, and extra links).
What watch brands and references do you accept?
We specialize primarily in high-end luxury, independent, and high-complication watchmakers. Our core focus includes Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Vacheron Constantin, F.P. Journe, Cartier, Omega, Tudor, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breitling, Panerai, Hublot, Breguet, Piaget, and Ulysse Nardin.
How do I initiate the selling or trading process?
Simply complete our quick online valuation form above. Provide clear photos and as much detail about your timepiece as possible. Our specialists will review the submission and reach out with a preliminary cash offer and trade-in breakdown within 24 hours.
When can I expect to receive my preliminary quote?
Our team evaluates submissions continuously. You will receive a written initial valuation within 1 to 2 business days after submitting your details—often within just a few hours during standard NYC business operating times.
Can the final offer price change after I ship my watch?
Our initial quote is a highly accurate estimate based on the information and photos provided. The final payout is locked in after physical inspection. Adjustments only occur if the watch reveals undisclosed mechanical flaws, aftermarket parts, severe physical damage, or missing components during hands-on evaluation.
Do original boxes, warranty papers, and accessories really affect the offer?
Yes, significantly. A "full set"—which includes the original manufacturer box, stamped warranty card/certificate, instruction manuals, and original hangtags—can increase a timepiece’s payout value anywhere from 10% to 30% depending on the specific reference and collector demand.
How is the offer price determined by your valuation team?
We do not rely on static retail guidebooks. Our valuations are calculated in real time using auction results, global wholesale indices, private dealer networks, and active secondary market demand to guarantee you receive a fair, highly competitive market rate.
What happens after I ship my watch to your vault?
Once FedEx delivers your package to our secure facility, it is unpacked under HD video surveillance. Our master watchmakers conduct a complete multi-point inspection verifying authentication, serial numbers, timing diagnostics, and physical state. We then contact you immediately to confirm the final offer and initiate payment or dispatch your trade.
Where can I locate my watch's reference number?
Your watch's reference number can typically be found on its original guarantee card, warranty booklet, or purchase receipts. On many physical pieces, it is engraved on the caseback or between the lugs (requiring bracelet removal). If you cannot find it, simply upload crisp photos of the dial and caseback in our form, and our specialists will identify it for you.
Is my watch insured when I ship it using your prepaid label?
Yes, completely. Every prepaid shipping label generated by Wo Luxe includes comprehensive third-party courier insurance covering the full appraised value of your timepiece from the moment it is scanned at FedEx until it lands securely in our hands.
Can I trade in multiple watches toward a single high-value piece?
Absolutely. We regularly assist collectors looking to consolidate their collections. You can trade in multiple timepieces toward a single grail watch, or trade a high-value piece for multiple watches plus cash back to you.
