First experience with Watchtrader

I wanted to sell a Rolex Daytona.
A fair price, clear instructions & helpful advice given in the introductory email. On the offer being accepted an efficient selling proceedure followed. I thought the communication was a little sparse but didn't panic, (it was my first deal). All was well.
Would definitely recommend Watchtrader.

Cartier via consignment

Sold a Cartier Santos via consignment with these chaps and as ever, excellent from start to finish. I was quoted a price and managed to return what I was after. Quick payment once all the paperwork had been signed off. Will no doubt return again!
