Selling made simple
Watches of the Vale buys selected Rolex and luxury watches, with appointments available in Cardiff and London. If you are seeking a watch valuation Cardiff clients can begin with an online enquiry from anywhere in the UK.
Each Rolex valuation or luxury watch valuation is considered individually, taking account of model, reference, condition, originality, box, papers, service history and market demand. Clear photographs help us provide a stronger initial assessment, and we aim to respond to complete enquiries within 24 hours. You can sell your watch directly or discuss part exchange against our current luxury watches. The online figure is an initial guide rather than a guaranteed offer, and final terms may depend on inspection, authenticity, provenance and overall suitability.
Include brand, model, reference, condition, age, box, papers, service history and clear photographs.
The initial figure is based on the information supplied and current market conditions.
The watch may need to be physically inspected before a final offer is confirmed.
Accepted watches may be sold directly or used towards another available watch, subject to agreement.

Valuation factors
No two watches are valued in exactly the same way. The following factors help determine the current market value and suitability of a watch.
Certain references, metals, dials and configurations attract stronger market demand than others at different times.
Case, dial, bracelet, movement and any signs of wear, damage, polishing or alteration can all influence the assessment.
Original accessories can support provenance and desirability, although they are not always essential for us to consider a watch.
Servicing, maintenance records and any replaced components may affect both desirability and the final valuation.
Original components and a clear ownership history can influence how suitable a watch is for purchase and how it is valued.
Luxury watch values move over time, so offers reflect the prevailing market and demand for that watch at the point of assessment.
Rolex specialism
Rolex remains the main specialism at Watches of the Vale, and we consider a wide range of pre-owned Rolex watches for purchase. If you want to sell Rolex Cardiff enquiries can begin online, with a Rolex valuation Cardiff clients can use as an initial guide before inspection.
Value depends on the specific reference, age, dial and bezel configuration, completeness, condition and current demand. Watches may include the Submariner, Datejust, GMT-Master II, Daytona, Explorer, Oyster Perpetual, Sea-Dweller and Sky-Dweller, although mentioning a model does not guarantee purchase. To sell your Rolex, send details and photographs online or enquire about an appointment in Cardiff or London.
