Rolex Submariner
Date & no-date · five-digit and six-digit
The one we're asked about most. Faded inserts, tritium dials and honest scratches are not problems — they're often the reason a piece is worth more, not less.
Private buyers · Washington DC metro
We buy Rolex and Omega across the Washington DC metro area. A small business, one person, run lean: no shop to keep the lights on in, no display cases, no sales floor to pay for. All of that comes out of what a big store can offer you — we don't carry it, so more of what your watch is worth stays with you.
No shipping it to a stranger, no lowball mail-in quote, no waiting on a wire. Send a few photos, get a market-backed offer with the comps attached, and we'll meet in a safe and secure location to finish it — cash in hand.
We focus mostly on neo-vintage — broadly the 1980s through the early 2000s — and we do take on vintage and newer pieces at times. Not sure where yours falls? Send it anyway. We'll tell you straight.

GMT-Master & GMT-Master II
Coke, Pepsi, black — bezel colour changes the number quite a lot, so a clear photo of the insert helps us quote you accurately the first time.
36mm · jubilee or oyster
Often an inherited watch sitting in a drawer. Dial variant matters more than most people expect, so send a straight-on shot of the dial.
Professional 300M · Diver 300M
Wave dials, Bond-era references and the quartz versions too. Bracelet stretch and a worn clasp are normal and easy to price around.
Professional · Reduced · Mk II
Caseback text and the movement tell us which generation you have. If you still have the box and papers, that's real money — say so.
Steel is the core of what we do, but gold and two-tone get looked at case by case. Either we'll make you an offer or we'll point you to the right person. We won't waste your afternoon.
Ask us about yours →Dial, caseback, clasp, and the serial number — on the rehaut (the inner ring around the dial), or between the lugs if you're comfortable taking the band off. Your phone camera is completely fine.
Priced against current market comps for your exact reference — and we show you the math, so you can judge the offer instead of taking our word for it.
We'll meet in a safe and secure location in the DC metro area — a bank lobby is ideal, and it's your choice either way. We deal in cash or same-day transfer, and you keep the watch until you're paid.
Not ready to sell outright?
We also take watches on consignment: we handle factory service, photograph it properly and sell it on your behalf, and you keep the upside. Ask us about it — if you're not in a hurry, it usually nets more than an outright sale.
We're a small outfit, which is the whole point. You're not handing your watch to a call centre and hoping — you're dealing with the same person from the first text to when we meet. And if we think you'd do better selling it yourself, we'll tell you.
No. That's the reason we exist. Everything is settled face to face in the DC metro area, and the watch stays on your wrist until the money is in your hand.
Tell us and it's priced in — a service-due movement or a replacement bezel isn't a dealbreaker. What does cause problems is finding out at the meeting.
Preferred, and worth checking for first: a full set — original papers, box and accessories — is worth meaningfully more. Plenty of good neo-vintage trades without one, though, so tell us what you have either way and we'll let you know where it lands.
It dates the watch, which drives the comps, and it lets us run the standard stolen-property check before anyone commits. Skip it if you'd rather — we can start without it.
Not at all. Get the number, sit on it, shop it around. No pressure and no follow-up campaign if you decide to keep it.
Most people get a number the same day they send photos. Meeting up depends on which day we're next in your part of the metro — usually within the week.
No obligation
Takes about a minute, and half of it is optional. We'll follow up by text unless you'd rather we email.
