Selling Gold Watches in the UK
Selling a gold watch requires distinguishing between its 'scrap' value and its 'resale' value. A vintage Rolex is worth far more than the gold it contains, whereas a generic gold watch might be valued primarily on its metal content.
- **Brand:** Luxury brands (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega) carry massive premiums.
- **Gold Content:** For non-luxury brands, the value is in the case and strap. Note that the movement (mechanism) and glass are not gold and their weight must be deducted.
- **Condition & Box/Papers:** For resale watches, having the original box and papers adds significant value.

Expert Tips for Selling Gold Watches
💡 Never sell a luxury brand watch to a 'scrap gold' buyer without getting a specialist valuation first.
💡 If selling as scrap, remember that the movement, glass, and steel springs inside the strap are not gold. The 'gold weight' is often much less than the total watch weight.
💡 Vintage gold watches, even from lesser-known brands, can sometimes have collector value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Check the case back or the inside of the clasp. '18k', '750', or a hallmark indicates solid gold. 'Stainless Steel Back', 'Base Metal', or 'Gold Plated' means it is not solid gold and has little scrap value.
If it is a luxury brand (Rolex, Omega, etc.) or a working vintage mechanical watch, sell it as a timepiece to a watch specialist. If it is a broken quartz watch from a generic brand, it is likely best sold as scrap gold.
