Independent Cartier Watch Buyer
Sell Your Cartier Watch
Start with photographs, not a trip to an office. Share your Cartier watch and a few details for a private preliminary assessment. If you prefer to meet in person, we offer appointments in Brickell, Miami, and Beverly Hills, serving Los Angeles.
SellCartierWatches.com is an independent second-hand dealer. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorized retailer of Cartier.
A clear starting point for selling your Cartier
You do not need to know the exact reference number to begin. Tell us what you know about the watch, whether it is running, and what comes with it. Clear photographs help us identify the piece and discuss the next step with you.
An online assessment is preliminary. Photographs cannot establish every detail of condition or authenticity, and an initial estimate is not a binding purchase offer.
Have jewelry as well? See our Cartier jewelry selling guide and Love bracelet assessment checklist.
Cartier collections to include in your request
Send details of your Tank, Santos, Ballon Bleu, Panthère, Baignoire or Pasha. If your collection is not listed, choose “Other / Not sure” in the form and include photographs.
The collection name is only a starting point. A Tank or Santos can come in different sizes, materials and configurations. Please include any reference information you already have so we can discuss your specific watch, rather than a similar-looking example.
How much is your Cartier watch worth?
A useful assessment is specific to the watch in front of us. There is no single resale percentage that applies to every Cartier.
- Identity and configuration: collection, reference, size, case material and movement type, where known.
- Condition: visible wear, damage, bracelet or strap condition, and whether the watch is running.
- Originality and service history: disclosed replacement parts, modifications and available service records.
- Included items: box, warranty papers, receipts and spare bracelet links.
- Market context: demand and comparable examples for the relevant reference and condition.
An advertised retail price is not the same as an offer to buy your watch. Listings can differ in condition, accessories and seller terms, so a similar photograph alone is not a reliable comparison.
Prepare your photographs
Use clear, unfiltered photographs in good light. Include the dial, the back of the case, both sides, the bracelet or strap, and the clasp. Add close-ups of visible damage and a photograph of any box or documents you want included in the assessment.
If a reference is difficult to read, send a close photograph rather than guessing. Do not open the case to find additional information. Share identifying details through the private appraisal process, not in public comments.
From first review to an agreed sale
Send the details
Complete the appraisal form with your contact information and watch details, then add photographs. Note any known issues or modifications at the start.
Confirm the next step
A specialist reviews the information and contacts you. An office visit requires a confirmed appointment. If remote shipping is approved, wait for the procedure and destination to be confirmed before sending your watch.
Review the final terms
The watch is checked before a final agreement. Payment timing and method are confirmed in writing for each accepted transaction after identity, ownership and final condition checks. Review the agreed terms before proceeding.
Meet a buyer in Miami or Beverly Hills
Start with photographs, then arrange your appointment. Please wait for confirmation before visiting either office.
Questions before you sell
Can I sell a Cartier watch without the box and papers?
You can request an assessment without them. Tell us which accessories and documents are available. Missing packaging does not prevent an initial review, but authenticity, ownership and condition still need to be checked.
What if my watch is damaged or not running?
Describe the issue and include clear photographs. The condition needs to be reviewed individually; submitting a request does not guarantee that an offer will be made.
Can I begin online if I am not near either office?
Yes. Start by submitting photographs and details. If remote shipping is approved for your watch, a specialist will confirm the arrangements. Do not send the piece before receiving those instructions.
Do I need to decide before the watch is inspected?
An initial estimate is not a binding purchase offer. The final condition and written terms need to be reviewed before proceeding. If shipping is involved, ask about return arrangements and any costs before dispatch.
Are you an official Cartier service or boutique?
No. We are an independent second-hand dealer. Our appraisal request is for a potential resale transaction, not an official Cartier service appointment.
