Authenticated watches,
priced under the market.
Rolex, Cartier, Omega, TAG Heuer and Panerai. Every watch is checked in house before it is listed, and priced under what the same reference runs on the marketplaces.
Browsing opens San Diego Jewelry Buyers, my own store, which is where the listings live and the checkout runs.
Watches available today
A watch is the one category where the same reference sells for wildly different money depending on who is selling it. The reference is identical. What changes is the markup stacked on top of it.
We own our watches outright rather than carrying them on consignment, so there is no third party to pay before you get a price. That is most of the gap between what we ask and what the marketplaces ask.
Checked before it is listed
Case, bracelet, dial, movement and hallmarks, gone over in house. Nothing goes up until it has been through that.
One of each
These are not restocked. When a reference sells, the listing is done, so if you are circling something do not wait on it.
I buy and trade watches too
This is the category where I am most active on the buy side. Bring one in, send photos, or trade toward something in the case.
Know what you are looking at.
The ones I get asked.
- Are your watches authenticated?
- Yes. Every watch is examined in house before it is listed. Case, bracelet, dial, movement and hallmarks are checked, and anything that does not pass does not go up.
- Do you buy watches as well as sell them?
- Yes, watches are the category we are most active in on the buy side. You can bring a watch to the store at 907 6th Ave, or send photos first and we will tell you what it is worth before you come in.
- Can I trade a watch toward another one?
- Yes. Trading toward something in the case is common, and it usually gets you further than selling outright and buying separately.
- Why are your prices below the marketplaces?
- We own our inventory outright rather than carrying it on consignment or buying through a wholesaler, so there is no middle party to pay before the price is set.

“It was a very pleasant experience. And my first time bringing family jewels of up to 100 years vintage to obtain evaluation which might result in a purchase. I was impressed with the ease and comfortableness. Each piece was examined and measured carefully Notations were made. I added some…”
