Inside watchuwant.com: Intake Process, Provenance, Value

The 1916 Company2 Min ReadJune 4 2015

At watchuwant.com, we sell the best pre-owned and vintage luxury watches because we buy only the best.

Our intake and inventory room is the first point of contact – and place of scrutiny – for every watch that arrives for evaluation. From the time a watch lands at our facility, its story is recorded via closed circuit TV cameras, still photography, and hand annotation of condition.

Full documentation of equipment, function, and cosmetic quality ensures that a watch’s recorded history – its provenance – is enriched from the moment it arrives at watchuwant.com’s Greater Miami headquarters. Before the timepiece is forwarded for counterfeit evaluation by our Operations team and mechanical review by our master watchmakers, an exhaustive record of all boxes, packing material, manuals, documentation, sales papers, and accessory kit is produced.

No element is overlooked, and factory equipment as minute as original anti-scuff tape is annotated on company records. Documentation is the first component of a time-tested watchuwant process that ensures every watch leaves our facility as good or better than it arrived.

Peace-of-mind for sellers, consignors, and future owners is ensured by a system that removes unfit candidates from consideration and meticulously maintains the best for worldwide display on our industry-leading online storefront.

While a luxury watch is being showcased to a global clientele on watchuwant.com, our eBay retail platform, and our network of partnering watch-specific seller’s fora, the entire boxed set of the watch is maintained in our vast climate controlled inventory facility. This secure center, which also serves as the point of arrival for our prospect timepieces, has been constructed explicitly for the purpose of receiving, recording, and retaining delicate luxury goods of exceptional value.

Commitment to quality is more than a matter of industry experience, capacity to effect repairs, and scope of marketplace exposure; commitment means that no corners are cut in evaluation, preservation, and glorification of a watchuwant.com client’s timepiece. The intake and inventory room is the first step on a watches path to returning value to its seller and satisfaction to its next owner.

As the pre-owned luxury watch industry leader for fifteen years, watchuwant.com benefits from investment in people, process, and facilities that add value to each watch we accept for sale.
