Paid subscribers can see the full Unpolished Guide to Selling a Watch: https://www.unpolishedwatches.com/p/the-unpolished-guide-to-selling-aIn early February, I went to Miami for a small vintage meetup. While there, I sat down with Wes Wynne of Collectors Corner NY to discuss a question we’re both asked often:How do you sell a watch? We discuss the who, what, when, where, why, and how of selling, including:* The players: From large dealers like 1916 Company or Analog Shift to niche dealers like Wes, along with platforms, marketplaces, and auctions.* When to consider selling vs. consigning, and the margins for each, with a few real examples. When do you need a consignment agreement, and how to get rid of the “dogs” in your collection? * What to ask a dealer, along with a few of our pet peeves and red flags.* A rough Chrono24 Rule for thinking about what your watch is actually worth. I’ve published a companion guide on “How to Sell a Watch,” exclusive to paid subscribers, that goes into more detail on working with and navigating this complicated, confusing world. A useful, practical guide for paid subscribers.Subscribe at: unpolishedwatches.comSubscribers get:* 2 newsletters/week* 10% off U.S.-made straps in the Unpolished Store* $50 off any service from WatchcheckSubscribe to the podcast to get future episodes in your feed: Spotify / Apple / RSSUnpolished is the newsletter for watch collectors and a top-20 Fashion & Beauty Substack.
