Do not clean or polish it first
For collectible watches, aggressive polishing or replacement parts can reduce desirability. Leave the watch as-is until you understand what you have.
Gather everything that came with it
Boxes, papers, receipts, service records, spare links and even old straps may be relevant to the watch's value or provenance.
Identify the exact model and reference
Model family alone is not enough. The exact reference, metal, dial, bracelet and production era can dramatically change value.
Get more than a generic estimate
Online calculators are useful for orientation, but a serious offer should reflect the specific watch, its originality, condition and current market demand.
Choose between speed and maximum exposure
A direct sale prioritizes simplicity. Consignment or marketplace selling can target a higher retail outcome but requires more time and transaction management.
