How We Serve Collectors
Expert Authentication and Valuation
Authenticity is everything in luxury watches. Road & Wrist provides comprehensive authentication and appraisal services for Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and other prestigious brands. We inspect every detail—serial numbers, movement construction, dial originality, case finishing, and bracelet authenticity—to verify legitimacy and determine fair market value.
Our authentication process includes:
Serial and reference number verification against manufacturer databases
Movement examination for caliber authenticity and correct finishing
Dial and hands inspection for correct fonts, printing, and aging patterns
Case and bracelet evaluation for proper markings and construction
Comparison against known authentic examples and reference materials
Whether you're considering a purchase, insuring your collection, or preparing to sell, our detailed appraisals provide the documentation and peace of mind you need.
Expert Watch Sourcing Services
Road & Wrist's sourcing service connects you with watches that aren't publicly available—from authorized dealer waitlist models to rare vintage references found only through private networks.
How sourcing works:
Step 1: Submit Your Request
Provide the brand, model, reference number, condition requirements (new, excellent, vintage), budget range, and timeline. The more specific you are, the faster we can locate your watch.
Step 2: We Search Our Network
We contact trusted dealers, private collectors, and auction houses worldwide. Most requests are fulfilled within 1-2 weeks, though rare or highly specific references may take longer.
Step 3: Authentication and Approval
When we locate a matching watch, we authenticate it thoroughly and provide detailed photos, condition reports, and transparent pricing (including our service fee). You approve before we proceed.
Step 4: Secure Delivery
We handle payment to the seller, arrange fully insured FedEx Overnight shipping (domestic) or secure international delivery, and ensure the watch arrives exactly as described.
Fair, Fast, Transparent Watch Sales
Selling a luxury watch should be transparent and stress-free. Road & Wrist provides competitive, market-driven offers for Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and other prestigious brands—backed by fast communication, secure transactions, and same-day payment upon receipt.
Why sell to Road & Wrist:
Fair Market Pricing
We track sales data daily across dealer networks, auctions, and private sales to provide offers that reflect current market conditions—not outdated pricing or lowball wholesale tactics. You'll receive a detailed explanation of how we arrived at our offer, including condition assessment and market comparables.
Fast Response Times
Submit your watch details and photos through our valuation form, and you'll receive a competitive offer within 24 hours. No waiting weeks for a response or negotiating through endless back-and-forth.
Secure Transactions
Once you accept our offer, we provide a prepaid FedEx Overnight shipping label with full insurance coverage. Upon receipt and authentication, payment is processed same-day via Zelle or wire transfer—no delays, no excuses.
No Pressure
Our offers are no-obligation. If you decide not to sell, we'll return your watch via insured shipping at our expense. We want you to feel confident in your decision.
Trade In Your Watch, Upgrade Your Collection
Ready to upgrade from a Submariner to a Daytona? Trading a GMT-Master for a Patek Philippe Nautilus? Road & Wrist's trade-in program makes upgrading your collection simple, transparent, and financially advantageous.
How trade-ins work:
You provide details about your current watch (brand, model, condition, box/papers), and we provide a fair trade-in valuation. That amount is applied as credit toward any watch in our inventory or any piece we source for you. You only pay the difference—and we handle all logistics, authentication, and shipping.
Benefits of trading with Road & Wrist:
Competitive trade-in values based on current market pricing
Flexible options: trade toward our inventory or request sourcing for a specific watch
Simplified transactions: one secure payment, one shipment, one point of contact
No selling hassles: avoid private sale risks, payment fraud, or meetup concerns
We work with all major luxury brands. Whether you're upgrading within the same brand or exploring a new manufacturer, our trade-in program offers the most straightforward path to your next watch.
