Tick-Tock Treasures: The Surprising Worth of Your Broken Luxury Timepieces


In the world of luxury watches, even a timepiece that has stopped ticking can hold significant value. If you're wondering what to do with that broken Rolex or damaged Audemars Piguet collecting dust in your drawer, you might be surprised to learn that these items could still be worth a considerable sum. At Sell Us Your Jewelry, we specialize in buying broken luxury watches and helping you unlock their hidden value.

The Hidden Value in Broken Luxury Watches

Many people mistakenly believe that a broken luxury watch is worthless. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. High-end timepieces from brands like Rolex, Cartier, and Patek Philippe are crafted with valuable materials and intricate components that retain their worth even when the watch isn't functioning.

For instance, a broken Rolex might still contain precious metals like gold or platinum in its case and bracelet. The watch's movement, even if damaged, could have salvageable parts that are valuable to watchmakers and collectors. This is why it's crucial to consult with experts before dismissing your non-functioning luxury timepiece as worthless.

Recently, a client approached us with a damaged Rolex Submariner. The watch had been sitting in a drawer for years after suffering water damage.
