GOOD TO KNOW

Questions, answered.

Are the watches shown available to buy?

This is a design preview. The Rolex photographs are editorial examples, and no watch shown is currently offered for sale through Watch Smith.

Can I submit my watch for valuation now?

You can prepare a draft and download your details. Online submission and specialist valuations need a live service and team before they can be offered.

How should a high-value watch be checked?

Use an independent watch specialist to inspect authenticity, condition, serial and reference information, service history, and accompanying documents before committing to a trade.

Is Watch Smith affiliated with Rolex?

No. Watch Smith is an independent marketplace concept and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rolex SA.
