Do Not Sort the Collection First
The watch you almost leave behind may be the one we need to examine.
Most of us check the time on an Apple Watch or an iPhone now - I know I do. But the older watches tucked away in drawers and jewelry boxes can still have value.
Some watches are collectible. Some pocket-watch and wristwatch cases or bands may be made from gold, gold-filled metal, or sterling silver. Others may have value because of the maker, model, age, movement, design, rarity, or parts.
Old, Broken, Tangled, or Forgotten - Bring It All.
You do not need to know the brand, the age, the metal, or whether the watch works. That is what we will help determine.

Why Warren Exchange
Warren Exchange has served the community from our Warren, Rhode Island storefront since 2009, with online sales experience dating to 2001. We buy watches, jewelry, coins, silver, antiques, collectibles, and the unexpected items found in estates, attics, basements, and drawers.
Not every vintage watch is valuable. Value varies based on maker, model, movement, originality, condition, materials, demand, completeness, and the market at the time of evaluation. Gold-filled material is not solid gold, and we describe it separately.
