How Much Can We Lend You for Your Designer Watch?

We base the value of your watch on its market value.

Pawn shops always try to establish the market value of a watch – the price at which it would sell in a competitive auction – before making you an offer. Understand that we cannot lend you the market value as we carry all the risk and need to protect our interests.

Factors that determine designer watch value include:

• Demand – How popular is the watch?
• Condition – Is it in good condition, or does it need repairs?
• Completeness – Does it come with its original box, packaging, and paperwork?
• Precious metals and gemstones – Does it contain precious metals and gemstones?
• Brand – Is it a well-known, respected brand?

The top luxury watch brands include:

• Rolex
• Patek Philippe
• Audemars Piguet
• Glashutte Original
• A. Lange & Söhne
• Omega
• Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC)
• IWC Schaffhausen
• Breguet
• Cartier
• Vacheron Constantin
• Piaget
• Blancpain
• Ulysse Nardin
• Panerai
• Girard-Perregaux
• TAG Heuer

Tips for Pawning Your Watch in Lawndale

Here are some helpful tips that might help you get a bigger loan:

#1. Clean Your Watch

A clean watch creates a better impression and looks like you care about it. 

#2. Replace Flat Battery

A watch that is not working, such as one with a flat battery, can create the impression that you do not look after it. It can be a potential red flag that you may not settle your loan as your watch is not important to you.

#3. Include All Accessories

If you still have the original box and papers, such as the warranty and receipt, a pawn shop might be willing to lend you more for your watch.

#4. Find Out What Your Watch Is Worth

Knowing the approximate value of your watch can give you more realistic expectations on what to expect for it. And it can potentially help you to negotiate a better deal. 

Here are two easy ways to help determine the value of your designer watch:

Sold Listings on eBay

Search for your watch and model on eBay. Find the “Show only” heading and tick the “Sold Items” block. It will show you recent sales and how much they fetched.

LiveAuctioneers.com

LiveAuctioneers.com has a database with more than 29 million results of what items, including high-end watches, sold for on auctions all over the world.

#5. Choose the Right Pawn Shop

Not all pawn shops specialize in luxury watches. Approach one that does.

Note: Maxferd’s Lawndale pawn shop specializes in fine watches.

Selling vs Pawning Your Luxury Watch

Pawning your high-end watch is not always the right option. If you are no longer attached to it and want to use the money for something else, sell it.
