Swiss watch value: what makes a watch valuable?
Two watches with the same name on the dial can differ in value many times over. These are the points a watch specialist checks first:
- Brand and reference. The exact reference number decides more than the model name. Discontinued references and rare dial variants often trade far above ordinary ones.
- Condition. Scratches, dents and, above all, polishing. A case with sharp, original edges is worth noticeably more than a heavily polished one.
- Originality. Original dial, hands, bezel and bracelet. Replacement parts from a service lower the value of vintage watches.
- Box and papers. The warranty card or certificate, the original box and receipts prove where the watch comes from. A full set sells faster and usually for more.
- Demand. Some steel sports watches are in high demand; many dress, fashion and quartz watches lose most of their retail price.

Frequently asked questions
Is the watch value estimate really free?
Yes. Upload photos and get an estimate without an account or payment. If you need a written appraisal for insurance, an estate or a sale, you can request one from an independent expert, who charges a fixed fee.
Which photos should I upload?
The dial straight on, the caseback, and the clasp or papers. Use daylight without flash and keep the watch in focus. A close-up of the reference number between the lugs or on the papers helps most.
Can you tell if my watch is genuine?
Photos can show warning signs, such as wrong fonts, a weak date magnifier or a glass caseback on a model that never had one. No one can authenticate a watch from photos alone. For valuable pieces, the brand's service centre or a certified watchmaker who opens the case is the safe route.
Does it work for brands that are not Swiss?
Yes. The focus is on Swiss watches, but you can upload any wristwatch or pocket watch, for example from Germany, Japan or France.
What value do you estimate?
The fair market value: what a dealer or an auction would realistically pay today. Retail prices and dealers' asking prices are usually higher than what private sellers actually receive.
Should I polish or service my watch before selling?
Usually not. Polishing removes metal from the case and can lower the value, especially for vintage pieces. Ask for an estimate first and decide afterwards.
