Don’t Sell Your Rolex or Luxury Watch,

Pawn Your Watch to Raise Cash


Owners of Rolex and other luxury timepieces may well be tempted to sell their watch for cash rather than unlock the equity at a pawn shop. This can be for a variety of reasons; for instance, it might be the quickest way to raise instant cash, perhaps as they no longer possess the box or documents and believe their greatest chance of even selling the watch is via a trade watch purchaser, at a heavily discounted trade price.

Pawning your luxury watch or Rolex with an online watch specialist pawnbroker, like ReleaseMyCapital.co.uk, has become even more popular as owners now consider pawning their watch as the fastest, most discrete, and most flexible way to release funds.


You won't get the best deal possible if you sell your watch

It is quite doubtful that you will receive anything even close to the watch's genuine worth when you sell a Rolex to a trade watch purchaser, which is the first and arguably most obvious reason for selling the watch. Watch traders do provide some convenience, but not enough to make up for the enormous amount of money you will lose.

Obviously, the actual price you are able to get for your Rolex will depend on a number of variables, including the watch's condition and the trader’s pricing policy. However, you will nearly always only get a small portion of the watch's actual value, often as little as 20 or 30 percent.

It's crucial to realise that watch traders generate money by purchasing products from clients at incredibly low costs and then reselling them for a substantial profit. While some traders may have better prices than others, all watch traders shops rely on this fundamental business model to operate profitably.


Only deal with an expert

The fact that online pawn shops specialising in watches and luxury timepieces shows the kind of specialised understanding needed to effectively evaluate expensive watches. Ensure you talk to the valuation expert to ensure they understand the watch, including the condition it is in or the materials the timepiece is made from and of course the more subtle aspects related to the rarity, market demand and any special edition or features that are highly sought after.


Take your watch to pawnbroker to unlock the cash

In addition to buying luxury assets from customers, pawn shops also provide loans to their customers, and they will accept a Rolex or other high-value luxury watch as collateral.

We always take time and care to ensure we reach a fair and accurate valuation of your timepiece. We rely on a chosen network of industry specialists who will provide an expert appraisal and examination of the watch, review the pertinent information, and investigate the history of the watch, including the original purchase paperwork, service records, and, if available, private sale records.



The areas to consider, before we can pawn your watch: -


1. Maker, model, and age

For a fine watch to maintain its value, there is no set recipe. Timeless designs tend to appeal to the largest audience; hence they tend to retain their value the best.


2. Presentation and provenance

Presenting your watch in its original packaging along with the serial number, original paperwork, and receipt or record of purchase will always boost its overall value and speed up its delivery to you.


3. Condition & service history

Providing the service history will guarantee the optimal valuation since servicing helps maintain the value. We will also consider any dents, blemishes, replacement parts, and restorations.
