Collection: Buyback watch series

Hong Kang Trading has been buyback luxury watches for over ten years, from the "ROLEX-PP-AP" top three - Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet - to classic models like Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, IWC, Omega, Tudor, and Longines. Watches with complete sets (box and papers) and warranty cards that are still within the warranty period are the most popular in the market.

Different Brands, Different Valuation Logic

Many people assume that "a luxury watch is all about the brand," but in reality, the key valuation factors differ for each brand. The table below shows the items we prioritize during our daily watch inspections:

Five Variables Affecting Resale Value

1. Full Set (Box and Papers): A complete set including the original warranty, watch box, instruction manual, spare links, and purchase receipt can increase the resale value by 8-20%, especially for Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet.
2. Movement Condition: Mechanical watches require servicing every 5-7 years. Timekeeping inaccuracies or stopping will reduce the value. It's recommended not to open the movement yourself before selling.
3. Cosmetic Condition: There's a big difference between original factory polishing and third-party polishing; the latter can deduct up to 10-15%. Scratches on the strap/clasp and chips on the sapphire crystal will also affect the valuation.
4. Model Rarity: Discontinued models > limited editions > current production models. For example, the discontinued green Submariner 116610LV and Daytona 116500LN are examples of models that command a premium.
5. Warranty Card Date: The 5-year international warranty for Rolex and PP is very important. Watches still under warranty typically fetch 5-10% more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will you still buy without a warranty card, box, or papers?
Yes, we will, but the valuation will be adjusted. A "loose watch" (watch only) Rolex can generally still reach 70-85% of the market price.

Q: How much does a scratch on the watch face affect the price?
It depends on the location and depth. Shallow scratches on sapphire crystal have limited impact on the valuation, but dents or corner chips will deduct 5-10%.

Q: How do you authenticate if it's original?
We use a magnifying glass, movement markings, and serial numbers for cross-verification. If necessary, we use original factory warranty documents or auction LOT records for substantiation.

Quick Answer: How are these items valued?

Luxury watch valuation primarily considers brand, model, year, warranty card, box and papers, and watch condition. For brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, and Omega, the model and completeness of accessories are more important than verbal descriptions.
