Best Place to Sell Used Watches for the Most Cash in Boca Raton
Do you want to know where is the best place to sell used watches for cash in Boca Raton? We have the definitive answer for you, plus everything you need to know about selling your pre-owned watch at the best price. This is a complete guide to selling used watches for the most cash in Boca Raton and the entire South Florida area.
There are many reasons to sell your old watch for cash. The most common would be you don’t wear or like them anymore, you want a new watch, or you need money for any number of reasons.
These are all respectable and reasonable reasons. As long as the watch is yours, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with selling it.
On the other hand, sometimes a watch has sentimental value. In this case, it can be really hard to let it go, which is very understandable. Nevertheless, hard times call for hard measures (we prefer to say “hard” over “desperate”, it just sounds better). If you really don’t want to sell your watch but you need cash, you can likely get a long term loan on it. You can read more about collateral loans here. But as the focus of this article is on selling watches for cash, we won’t discuss loans any further.
Pawnshop vs Jewelry Store
If you want to sell a pre-owned watch for cash, you have two easy options, a pawnshop or jewelry store. But, which is better? The simple answer is a jewelry store. However, that is only true if you are dealing with a jewelry store that specializes in watches. Typically speaking, most jewelry stores are more versed in luxury watches than pawnshops. Pawnshops buy and sell many items, so they know a little about a lot of things. Jewelry stores that sell watches focus on two things, jewelry and watches. So, they will have far more expertise in timepieces.
All in all, you want to deal with a watch buyer that actually knows luxury watches. Why? Because you will get an accurate appraisal and your watch will be valued at what it should be. If the buyer isn’t an expert in watches and doesn’t understand the market that well, they will offer you less money just to mitigate their risk for reselling it. Experts know exactly what they can sell it for, so they will pay you a fair price.
On top of all that, pawnshops are notorious for lowballing people. Whether it’s because they are not experts in watches and they don’t really know its value or that’s just their business model, you can’t be sure, but it’s best to not even deal with that and find a watch buyer that actually knows watches.
What about selling my watch online?
If you want to sell your watch online, you won’t be getting cash in hand the same day. It’s a timely process. Moreover, there are high fees involved and you have to weave through all the scammers. Also, if your watch doesn’t have its original papers, just forget about it. No collector is going to buy it.

How do I find out how much my watch is worth?
If you want to get an idea of what your watch is worth at home, right now, you can check online marketplaces like Chrono24 and eBay to see what your watch is selling for. That being said, there are a lot of factors that play into the value of your watch, both positively and negatively, so use this as a ballpark figure.
If you want to find out exactly what your watch’s resale value is then you have to take it to a watch expert like Diamonds By Raymond Lee and Raymond Lee Jewelers. We will appraise your watch for free and let you know how much it is worth. Furthermore, we will clearly explain why it is worth that much.
What affects the value of your watch?
Here are the factors that we look at to determine the amount we will pay you for your watch:
- Brand
- Reference number (model)
- Limited production numbers
- Manufacturer-made movements (replacements or repairs lower the value)
- Original parts (again, replacements or repairs lower the value)
- Material (is it made from stainless steel, gold, or platinum? note: some steel models are worth more than their gold counterparts simply because of demand).
- High-quality jewels and stones
- Age & history of the watch
- Condition of case, bracelet, band, clasp, bezel, and so on.
- Original watch box and paperwork.
- Market demand (models that are high coveted will land you a premium)
Can you sell a Rolex or any Swiss watch without papers?
Yes, you absolutely can still sell your watch to us if you don’t have its original papers or box. We are watch experts so we will not have any problem appraising a watch without papers. We know how to spot a fake quickly and easily too.
The only issue that comes from not having the watch’s papers is the resale value will be lower as most people want to buy a high-end watch with official paperwork from the brand. If you don’t have your watch’s papers, you’d have a ton of trouble trying to sell it directly to a watch collector. Since our customer’s trust us, we are confident that we can resell your watch after buying it from you. So, we have no issue with buying a watch without its papers.
All in all, the original box and papers makes everyone’s life easier when it comes to buying and selling, and it gives the watch more value, but it is not a factor that will stop us from buying it.
