Understanding Pre-Owned Watches
If you are considering the purchase of a pre-owned watch, there are several factors to bear in mind when making your choice.
Our Services
Valuations For Insurance
Our Expertise, Your Peace-Of-Mind
A valuation is carried out most often for insurance purposes but could also be, for example, in preparation for a private sale. Our showrooms each offer a comprehensive valuation service, whether you are looking to value a wristwatch or a piece of jewellery our specialist team will guide you through each element of the process.
Fine Jewellery
The value of fine jewellery or diamonds, can fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the style of the piece, its condition and the paperwork that the piece is or is not accompanied by. It is important that your cherished items are valued correctly to ensure that if lost, you are covered for your item’s true worth by your insurance company. Each of our showrooms partner with a dedicated valuer who offers true understanding of every aspect of jewellery design, craftsmanship and ultimately the value your items.
Our expert valuers visit our showrooms on a monthly basis examining each jewellery piece, and its paperwork, in detail. If you would like further information about a jewellery valuation we would recommend contacting your local Prestons showroom where a member of our team would be delighted to talk you through the process and our upcoming valuation dates.
Contact UsWristwatches
In the recent years the value of wristwatches, by brands such as Rolex or Patek Philippe, have increased dramatically due in part to currency, the increased cost of raw materials and the pioneering technology that is harnessed to create these exceptional timepieces. Today, for many insurance companies you will require an accurate, recognised valuation of your timepiece to ensure you are covered for its true worth.
Prestons Wilmslow, Prestons Leeds and Prestons Guildford are each delighted to offer an expert watch valuation service for our clients. In each instance, to ensure we are valuing your wristwatch appropriately, a dedicated member of our sales team will need to examine the timepiece, noting down relevant details, such as the serial number.
Our team would recommend that your wristwatches are re-valued every 2-3 years or as required by your insurance company.
