We've taken Rolex as collateral since 1996 — which means we've spent thirty years learning to spot a wrong one, because being wrong costs us our own money. That's why our number is real.
A shop that only buys luxury goods can afford to be wrong occasionally — they'll price the risk in and offer you less. A pawnbroker who lends against a Rolex has to be right the moment the money leaves the drawer.
Thirty years of that pressure builds real expertise, and it works in your favour: because we can authenticate confidently, we don't need to pad the offer against uncertainty.
For a watch, box and papers can move the number substantially. For a bag, the dust bag and receipt help. Not having them isn't a dealbreaker — most people don't — but if they're in a drawer at home, that drawer is worth a trip.
Movement, case, bracelet and serials on a watch. Stitching, hardware, date codes, lining and glaze on a bag. It happens in house, on the counter — nothing gets shipped away for a week while you wait.
If something doesn't add up, we pass, and we'll tell you why. That standard is what earned the BBB's Torch Award for Ethics in 2012 and an A+ rating since 1984.
A watch or a bag is compact, liquid and easy to store securely, which makes it about the best collateral there is. If you need cash for a few months but want the piece back, a pawn loan is quick, confidential, requires no credit check and never touches your report. Pay it off and it's back on your wrist.
Plus box, papers, dust bag or receipt if you still have them. No appointment needed.
Serials, movement, hardware, stitching — checked on the counter, in your sight.
What it is, what condition costs it, and what the papers are worth to the price.
Sell outright, borrow against it and keep ownership, or take it home.
Solid gold sets a baseline against this board. But a collectible watch is worth far more than its weight — and we won't melt something that shouldn't be melted.
We authenticate before we lend a dollar — so by the time we quote you, we already know exactly what you're holding.
