Sell a luxury watch from Aventura
Nicholas Estate Buyers buys luxury watches from Aventura owners, starting with a free remote quote by phone or email. Send the reference and a few photos, hear a figure, then bring the watch to the store at 2821 E Oakland Park Blvd in Fort Lauderdale or ship it insured. There is no obligation to sell.
Start with a quote, not a drive
Aventura sits in Miami-Dade, across the county line from the store, so the sensible first step is a quote from home. Email the reference number, photos of the dial, case back and clasp, and a note on what came with the watch. A GIA Graduate Gemologist reviews it and comes back with a range and the factors behind it. If the range makes the trip worthwhile, book a time. If it does not, nothing is owed.
Watches Aventura sellers bring
Many Aventura sales are dress and jewelry watches rather than sports models, often bought as gifts and worn for special occasions. Nicholas Estate Buyers buys both.
- Cartier Santos, Tank and Panthère, in steel, two-tone and gold.
- Chopard Happy Diamonds and Happy Sport.
- Bvlgari Serpenti and Bvlgari Bvlgari.
- Piaget Possession and Polo.
- Rolex Lady-Datejust and Datejust 31, including diamond-set dials and bezels.
- Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe and Rolex sports references, from the Royal Oak to the Daytona.
The watches page lists every brand bought, and the Cartier page covers Cartier jewelry as well as watches.
Diamond-set watches are assessed twice
A watch with factory diamonds is valued as a watch first, then the setting is checked. Factory-set diamonds usually add to the offer. Diamonds added after the watch left the maker, often called aftermarket setting, can lower it, because collectors and dealers discount altered watches. Nicholas Estate Buyers tells you which applies to yours and why, before naming a number.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell a watch from Aventura without driving to Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Start with a free remote quote by phone or email, then use insured ship-in if you would rather not make the trip.
Do you buy ladies' luxury watches?
Yes. Cartier, Chopard, Bvlgari, Piaget and ladies' Rolex models are all bought, including diamond-set pieces.
Will aftermarket diamonds lower my offer?
They can. Diamonds added after manufacture usually reduce what a watch is worth to the trade. You are told whether the setting is original before the offer is made.
Do I need the box and papers?
No. They help, so bring them if you have them, but a watch without papers is still assessed on its reference, condition and movement.
