## Process — How Selling Your Watch Works

1. **Private Evaluation & Preliminary Purchase Offer**: The seller submits watch details (brand, model, reference, condition, box/papers status) and up to 5 photos through the online form. Sell Watch OC evaluates the submission privately and provides a preliminary purchase offer. This is not a binding purchase price — it is an initial assessment based on the information provided.

2. **Complimentary Fully Insured Shipping**: Sell Watch OC provides a prepaid, fully insured shipping label for qualifying watch submissions, protecting the timepiece for its full value while in transit to our team for inspection and authentication.

3. **Physical Inspection & Authentication**: Upon receipt, our trusted watch specialists physically inspect and authenticate the watch. We verify reference numbers, serial numbers, movement, case, dial, completeness, condition, and conformity with the seller's original submission. This is our own internal evaluation — not a manufacturer-issued certification.

4. **Final Purchase Offer**: Based on the physical inspection and authentication, Sell Watch OC confirms or updates the final purchase offer. If the watch's condition differs from the submission, the offer is adjusted accordingly and communicated to the seller.

5. **Seller Acceptance & Payment**: Upon seller acceptance of the final purchase offer, payment is initiated promptly following successful inspection and authentication via an approved payment method, typically wire transfer, cash or crypto. If the seller declines, there is no obligation to sell.

**Important**: Payment is initiated only after the seller accepts the final purchase offer — following successful inspection and authentication. Payment is never automatic upon delivery.

## Alternative Options

- **In-Person Appointments**: Private in-person appointments are available on a case-by-case basis for local Orange County sellers who prefer not to ship. Contact Sell Watch OC to discuss availability.
- **Third-Party Intermediary**: An independent third-party intermediary option is available upon request for sellers who prefer not to ship directly. The watch is securely handled and verified through a trusted neutral party.

You are covered from the moment your watch leaves your hands until it arrives safely with us.

### What happens after Sell Watch OC receives my watch?
Once your watch arrives, our trusted watch specialists physically inspect and authenticate it. We verify condition, reference number, completeness, and conformity with your original submission. After this thorough evaluation, we confirm your final purchase offer — which you can accept or decline with no obligation.

### How does Sell Watch OC authenticate my watch?
Our specialists conduct a hands-on physical inspection, verifying the movement, case, dial, serial and reference numbers, and overall condition. We cross-reference against manufacturer specifications and current market data. This is our own internal evaluation — not a manufacturer-issued certification. It ensures an accurate, fair final purchase offer based on your watch's true condition and authenticity.

If your watch's condition, reference, or completeness differs from what was described in your submission, we'll contact you with an updated final purchase offer that reflects the actual timepiece. You are never obligated to accept.

### Can I sell my watch to Sell Watch OC in person in Orange County?
Sell Watch OC operates primarily through our secure, fully insured shipping process. However, for local Orange County sellers who are not comfortable with shipping, we also offer private appointments on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss whether an in-person appointment is available for your situation.

### What if I am uncomfortable shipping my watch directly to Sell Watch OC?
We understand. Sell Watch OC provides complimentary fully insured shipping for qualifying submissions, so your watch is protected for its full value in transit. If you still have concerns, we offer two alternatives: an independent third-party intermediary option, or a private in-person appointment for local Orange County sellers on a case-by-case basis.

### How does the independent third-party option work?
If you prefer not to ship directly, Sell Watch OC can arrange for an independent third-party intermediary to facilitate the transaction.

Sell Watch OC pays for all insured shipping costs. We provide a fully insured shipping label for qualifying watch submissions, protecting your timepiece for its full value while in transit to our team for inspection and authentication.

### Is my preliminary offer guaranteed?
No. The preliminary offer is our initial assessment based on the information and photos you provide. It is not a binding purchase price. Your final purchase offer is confirmed only after physical inspection and authentication of your watch. This ensures the offer accurately reflects your timepiece's true condition.

You are never obligated to sell. If you decline the final purchase offer after inspection, Sell Watch OC returns your watch with fully insured shipping at no cost to you. No pressure, no fees, no follow-up. You walk away with your watch and zero obligation.

Selling directly to Sell Watch OC means no auction commissions, no listing fees, no waiting weeks or months for an auction date, and no risk of your watch not meeting reserve. You receive a firm final purchase offer following inspection and payment is initiated upon your acceptance. Auctions can work for certain rare pieces, but most sellers net more with a direct buyer.

After inspection and authentication, we confirm your final offer and payment is initiated promptly upon your acceptance.

### Is Sell Watch OC a watch dealer or a watch buyer?
Sell Watch OC is a direct watch buyer, not a retail watch dealer. That means we purchase your watch directly — no showroom overhead, no retail markup, no middleman. You receive a straightforward preliminary offer based on your watch's reference, condition, and current market demand. This direct-buyer model typically means more money in your pocket than selling through a dealer who needs to resell at a margin.

### Should I sell my luxury watch to a pawn shop or to Sell Watch OC?
A specialized watch buyer like Sell Watch OC will almost always offer more than a pawn shop. Pawn shops are generalists who need a wide profit margin to resell quickly, and they typically lack the specialist knowledge to value references, complications, or rarity accurately. Sell Watch OC focuses exclusively on luxury timepieces — we understand reference numbers, provenance, and current secondary-market demand, which means a more accurate and typically higher offer.

### How fast can I sell my watch for cash?
After you submit our online form, you'll receive a preliminary offer — typically within 24 hours. Once you accept and ship your watch with our fully insured label, we inspect and authenticate it, confirm your final purchase offer, and initiate payment upon your acceptance. Most transactions are completed within a few business days of shipping.

### How quickly do I get paid after Sell Watch OC receives my watch?
Payment is initiated promptly upon seller acceptance of the final purchase offer, following successful inspection and authentication via an approved payment method, typically wire transfer, cash or crypto. There are no unnecessary delays — we move quickly once you've accepted our final offer.

### Is selling to Sell Watch OC faster than consignment or auction?
