CHECKING WATCHES AND JEWELLERY

All watches and jewelry are carefully checked. Jewelry is washed in an ultrasonic device that is especially designed for jewelry. Then they are polished, the frames are checked and any engravings are removed. If necessary, we service the watches at an authorized watchmaker. We guarantee our products and if errors occur, we correct them accordingly.

We are interested in buying Swiss watches and all types of jewelry. 

Be sure to include all possible certificates, attachments and receipts when bringing your item for valuation. If there is extensive documentation of the product, we can pay an even better price for the goods.
