HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR WATCH IS SOLID GOLD
Solid gold watches are almost always stamped with 10k, 14k, 18k, 417, 585 or 750 either on the back or the inside of the casting (you may need to remove the casting to see it).
Most gold coloured watches are electroplated with a very fine layer of gold, and may be worth more as a timepiece or collectible than as a source of precious metal. This can be evaluated on site at any of our locations and priced accordingly. But if your watch is solid gold and has seen better days, or is a more common metal, it’s probably worth more in precious metal than as a watch.
We commonly see watches made by Rolex, Cartier, Hublot, Breathing, Omega, Piguet, Breguet, IWC, Perrelet and Patek Phillippe. Lesser known brands have also produced solid gold watches over the years which have little collectible value, but their precious metal content could fetch you a significant amount of cash with todays gold prices. If you are unsure about the value or metal content of your watch, we are here to help. We take into account all aspects that influence the value of a wristwatch, including its condition, brand, and market desirability.
