Pawning your preowned fine watch

Pawning is the second most popular option when looking to get cash for their valuables. This is an attractive option for many because you have the opportunity to get your items back. Pawning is when you leave your watch, or other valuables, at a local pawn shop. They lend you an agreed-upon amount of money which you must pay back within a certain amount of time. You will also have to keep in mind interest rates when you paw.

The drawback of pawning a watch, especially a Rolex or Breitling, is that pawnshops do not specialize in watches. A variety of different items enter pawn shops every day. Watch dealers, on the other hand, do specialize in buying watches meaning they will often offer more money for your watch. In short, pawn shops offer less money for high-end watches because they have had to consider the possibility they may never be repaid. 

Have you ever looked into consigning your luxury watch?

If you are looking to get some money for your watch but aren’t sure how consignment is a very good third option to consider. Consignment is the option where you will get the most money for your timepiece or jewelry. How this works is fairly simple too. Although you get no money upfront your watch dealer will make sure it is looking and running like-new so it can be sold for the best price. 

Similar to pawning, the watch dealer will offer a quote for your watch after in-depth analysis. Once you agree upon a price, your watch will be put on a sales rack and marketed to the general public. You receive the money once the watch is sold. When consigning your watch you have to consider that your watch may take a month or two to sell. The plus side is, you generally have the option to take your watch off the market and you get more money for your timepiece.
