How to Sell your Watch

How to Sell Your Luxury Watch – Simply, Safely, and for the Best Price on MONTREDO

Whether it's a Rolex you no longer wear, an Omega passed down by a relative, or a Breitling that no longer fits your style - a luxury watch deserves a worthy new home. But selling a high-value timepiece privately can be stressful: endless messages, lowball offers, and buyers who disappear at the last minute. There is a better way.

MONTREDO, one of Europe's most trusted online watch retailers with over 45,000 satisfied customers since 2012, offers a comprehensive consignment service that takes the hassle out of selling your watch – and puts the money where it belongs: in your pocket.

Why Consignment – and Why MONTREDO?

When you sell privately, you carry all the risk: authentication disputes, payment fraud, and time-consuming negotiations. MONTREDO's consignment model flips that dynamic. You hand over your watch; MONTREDO handles everything else.

Your timepiece is fully insured the moment it arrives at MONTREDO's facility in Berlin. It is examined by in-house watchmaking experts, professionally photographed, and listed on a platform that attracts more than 300,000 watch enthusiasts every month. The result? Faster sales, higher prices, and zero stress for you.

Transparent Fees – No Surprises

MONTREDO's pricing is refreshingly straightforward. The commission is 15% for watches valued up to €50,000 and just 12% for watches above that threshold. There are no hidden fees, no listing costs, and no unexpected deductions. Any servicing or repair costs are communicated upfront and require your explicit approval before any work begins. You know your exact payout before you commit.

How It Works: Four Simple Steps

Step 1 – Request Your Free Valuation: Fill in MONTREDO's short online form. Within 48 hours, a specialist will provide a professional market valuation based on millions of real-time price data points – not wishful asking prices from public listings.

Step 2 – Send Your Watch, Fully Insured: Once you accept the valuation, MONTREDO arranges insured shipping to its Berlin facility. No packing stress, no courier research – it's all taken care of.

Step 3 – MONTREDO Manages Everything: Authentication, professional photography, marketing, and ongoing buyer communication – MONTREDO does it all. Should you want to adjust the asking price, updates are made within 24 hours based on current market trends.

Step 4 – Get Paid, Fast and Securely: Once the buyer's return period ends, your proceeds are transferred directly to your bank account within five business days.

Which Watches Does MONTREDO Accept?

MONTREDO accepts a wide range of prestigious brands – from Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet to Omega, IWC, Breitling, and many more. The key criterion is condition: MONTREDO is committed to listing only well-maintained timepieces. Not sure if your watch qualifies? Simply submit the form – an expert will respond within 48 hours.

You Stay in Control

You can request your watch back at any time. It will be returned via secure shipping within a few days. If the request falls within the first three months of consignment, a €199 service fee applies. After that period, the return is entirely free of charge. You remain the owner of your watch until the moment it sells.

The Bottom Line

Selling a luxury watch privately is time-consuming, risky, and rarely yields the best price. MONTREDO's consignment service offers a professional, fully transparent alternative – with genuine market valuations, expert care, global reach, and a payout you can rely on. It's the smarter way to sell.
