Why Sell or Trade Your Watch to European Watch Company

A family business started by Albert Ganjei in 1993 and run today by his son Joshua. We have in-house watchmakers, documented authentication, market-referenced offers, and no seller fees.

It is comforting to know that you will trade in last year's purchase on the next great thing with no hassles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We buy watches with and without documentation. Papers and an extract from the archives add value, but a missing box won't stop us from making a fair offer.
Reference, condition, originality, documentation, and current market demand. We track the market daily and price to where it actually is.
Once your watch arrives, we send payment the same day — bank transfer or overnight check — within 48 hours of accepting your quote.
Absolutely. Many clients trade toward something from our inventory, and we apply your watch's value directly to your next purchase — or offer consignment when that's the better fit.
No problem — most of our sellers aren't local. We send a prepaid, fully insured shipping label and handle everything remotely.
No. Leave it exactly as it is. Over-polishing can reduce a collectible watch's value; let us assess it untouched.
