    Selling your watch through H&T - Shop Online couldn't be simpler. Just fill out the enquiry form on our sell your watch page and we will use the information to give you a preliminary valuation. Then it's a case of sending your watch to us or bringing it into one of our stores to complete the sale.

    Do I need the watch’s box and papers?

    If you have the original box and paperwork that goes with the watch you want to sell, it’s certainly worth including them as you will get a better price. However, if you do not have the original box and/or official papers, we can still make you an offer. All luxury watches come with a unique serial number hidden on or within the watch itself. We can use this serial number to prove authenticity of your watch directly with the manufacturer.

    When will I receive payment for my watch?

    Once you have submitted an initial enquiry telling us the make and model of your watch, we will send you an estimate. You can then send us your watch, or drop it off at one of our nationwide stores. After an inspection at our service centre, we will issue you a final offer. Once this has been agreed we will arrange for payment to be sent to you.
