Ready to Trade? Let's Make It Seamless.
Our trade-in program offers a convenient path to your next watch. Get credit toward any piece in our inventory — backed by honest appraisals and market-driven valuations.
How It Works:
Trading your watch with Road and Wrist is straightforward: submit details about your current watch, receive a trade-in valuation, select your next timepiece, and we handle the rest.
The process step-by-step:
1. Tell Us About Your Watch
Provide brand, model, reference number and condition. The form below captures everything we need to prepare an accurate trade-in valuation.
2. Get Your Trade-In Value (24 Hours)
We evaluate your watch using current market data and provide a detailed trade-in credit amount. This becomes your down payment toward your next watch.
3. Pick Your Upgrade
Apply your credit toward any watch in our inventory or request sourcing for a specific reference. Your trade-in value works the same way whether you're buying from stock or requesting a custom search.
4. Complete the Trade
You pay only the difference between your trade-in value and your new watch's price. We coordinate shipping for both watches, authenticate your current piece, and deliver your upgrade—all in one transaction.
5. Enjoy Your New Watch
Most trades complete within 3-5 business days from initial submission to receiving your new timepiece. Fast, secure, and transparent from start to finish.
Why Trade with Road and Wrist
Trading your watch eliminates the hassles of selling privately while maximizing value and simplifying your upgrade path. Here's what makes Road and Wrist's trade-in program different:
Competitive Trade-In Values
We base trade-in valuations on current market data—not artificially low "wholesale" offers designed to maximize our margin. You'll receive a fair trade-in value that reflects what your watch would realistically sell for, minus a modest transaction fee. We explain our calculation transparently so you understand exactly where the number comes from.
Apply Credit to Any Watch
Your trade-in value works toward any watch in our inventory or any piece we source for you. Want to trade a Rolex for a Patek Philippe? An Omega for an Audemars Piguet? We handle trades across all brands, giving you maximum flexibility in your upgrade path.
One Transaction, One Point of Contact
Instead of selling your watch to one buyer and purchasing from another dealer, everything happens through Road and Wrist. One negotiation, one payment, one shipping coordination, one authentication process. Simplified logistics mean faster completion and fewer headaches.
No Private Sale Risks
Trading eliminates risks associated with private sales: fraudulent buyers, chargebacks, payment scams, unsafe in-person meetups, or watches lost in shipping. You're working with an established dealer from start to finish.
Fast Turnaround
Most trades complete within 3-5 business days from submission to receiving your new watch. Compare that to weeks or months of trying to sell privately while simultaneously searching for your next piece.
Trade Watches Needing Service
If your current watch needs servicing or repair, we'll still accept it as a trade-in. We adjust the value to account for estimated service costs and explain the deduction clearly—saving you the time and expense of servicing before trading.
