5 Tips on Pawning Your Brand Name Swiss Watch

When it comes to watches, brand-name Swiss watches sit at the top. So, if you have a Swiss watch that you don’t use that much and need some ready cash, the best option is to pawn it. If you want to know whether you will get good value for your Swiss watches, here are some tips on how to do so.

First, find the best pawn shops that deal with brand-name used Swiss watches. There are pawn shops that focus more on branded watches over other items, and you will get the best value from them. The two things you should look into more when you find such a pawn shop is their license and reviews. Any pawn shop should have two licenses, one from the State and another from the local administrative body. So, check these licenses before working with them.

The next thing to look out for is the review of the place. Check both the positive and negative reviews. Of course, avoid a place with too many one-star reviews. Though online reviews can indeed be manipulated, still, you can find real reviews from satisfied customers when you check them thoroughly.

Once you have selected the place, now comes the time to take your Swiss watch for pawning. Now before that, make sure to clean your watch properly. No matter how high the brand is, a broken, dirty watch won’t get you good money. So, make sure the watch is as pristine and in working condition before pawning it. Use non-abrasive cleaners for cleaning jewelry to clean the watch’s strap. For the surface, use microfiber and warm water.

If it is not working, take it to a reputable watch repair shop first. Make sure the watch specializes in repairing Swiss watches or go to the authorized showroom of the brand. Repair only if the repair cost is small and will raise the watch’s value. If the repair cost is too high, then there is no point in repairing it. Then selling it will be better because you won’t get good money by pawing it.

Another tip regarding getting good value for your brand-name Swiss watches is to take the watch in the original box to the pawn shop. It helps prove the watch’s authenticity and thus will get you a good offer.

So, these are some tips you can employ when thinking about pawning your branded Swiss watch.
