Watches
Watches are a passion at Imperial Jewelry & Loan. From mid-range Swiss-made timepieces to high-end luxury watches, we have the experience and tools to evaluate your watch honestly and make a fair, competitive offer for sale or pawn.
Have a watch you want to move? Bring it to our Norwalk showroom for a free, no-obligation evaluation. We are happy to help even if you are just curious about what your watch is worth and not ready to sell or pawn yet.
What We Buy and Pawn
We take a wide range of watches, with particular interest in:
High-End Luxury Watches
Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, A. Lange & Söhne, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Cartier, Breitling, Chopard, and other top-tier luxury brands. These are the watches we get most excited about and where our authentication experience really pays off.
Mid-Tier Swiss-Made Watches
Omega, Tag Heuer, Tudor, Longines, Oris, Tissot, and similar Swiss-made brands. We generally always take these if they are authentic and in working condition. Quartz, automatic, and manual movements are all welcome.
Other Watches
We may also take other watches, including fashion brands, vintage pieces, and lower-tier brands, depending on condition and current stock. If you are not sure whether we will take your watch, give us a call before you make the trip.
Box, Papers, and Accessories
A full set with the original box, papers, warranty card, extra links, and any included accessories will typically result in a stronger offer. That said, a full set is not always required, especially for watches where the piece itself can be authenticated through other means. Bring whatever you have.
Our Authentication and Evaluation Process
Counterfeit watches have become extremely sophisticated, particularly for top brands like Rolex, AP, and Patek Philippe. Our evaluation uses professional methods, including:
- Visual inspection under magnification of the dial, hands, case, crown, and bracelet
- Movement inspection where appropriate to verify caliber and finishing
- Weight and dimension verification against manufacturer specifications
- Serial number and reference number checks against known data
If we are unable to verify authenticity on the spot, we may take photos of the watch and ask for additional time to research it before making an offer. If we still cannot verify the piece, we will tell you honestly and recommend you seek a second opinion before making any decisions.
Bring a competitor’s written offer and we will try to match or beat it.
