Brands Accepted

• Rolex: Known for timeless designs and high resale value.
• Omega: Popular for precision and style.

Condition and Documentation

Watches in excellent condition with original boxes and papers generally fetch higher values. Documentation proves authenticity and increases resale value.

A well-maintained Rolex Submariner can retain 70 to 90 percent of its original value, making it a strong candidate for trade-in. Our team can also guide you through upgrade options that align with your lifestyle and preferences.

Upgrading Your Watch

Upgrading your watch is a great way to keep your collection fresh and better suited to your current style. We make it simple to upgrade your watch to a newer model or a different brand.

Benefits of Upgrading

• Access to Newer Models: Get the latest designs or advanced features, such as improved movements or materials.
• Enhanced Style: Switch to a watch that better suits your current aesthetic or professional needs.

How to Upgrade

Trading in your current watch and using its value toward a new one is a practical way to refresh your collection. Here’s how the process works:

1. Valuation of Your Current Watch
   Visit our store or fill out the online form to get a free assessment. Our in-house experts will evaluate the condition, authenticity, and current market value of your timepiece. For example, a well-maintained 10-year-old Rolex model may be valued at around $8,000, depending on factors such as model, condition, and demand.
2. Browse Upgrade Options
   After the appraisal, explore our selection of pre-owned and new luxury watches. You might decide to upgrade from an Omega Seamaster to a Rolex Datejust. Our team will assist you in finding a timepiece that suits your preferences and budget.
3. Apply the Trade-In Value
   Once you select a new watch, the trade-in value of your current piece will be deducted from the total cost. If the new watch is priced higher, you only need to pay the difference. In the example above, an $8,000 valuation would go toward a $10,000 watch, leaving a $2,000 balance to pay.
4. Optional Servicing
   When you upgrade, you can also request servicing for your new watch. This includes cleaning, adjustments, and basic checks to ensure it is in top condition when you leave the store.

TNS Diamonds provides clear valuations, expert advice, and a straightforward trade-in process to help you upgrade with confidence.

Factors Affecting Value

The value of your jewelry or watch depends on several factors, which our experts carefully assess to provide a fair offer.

For Jewelry

• Carat Weight: Larger diamonds or heavier gold pieces are worth more.
• Cut, Clarity, Colour: For diamonds, these determine quality and value.
• Market Demand: Trends in gemstone popularity affect pricing.

For Watches

• Brand and Model: Prestigious brands like Rolex or Patek Philippe command higher values.
• Condition and Age: Well-maintained watches or rare vintage models are more valuable.
• Market Demand: Limited-edition watches often fetch premium prices.

Pre-owned jewelry typically sells for 20 to 50 percent of its original price, depending on condition and market trends.

Tips for Maximizing Value

• Keep Documentation
  Hold on to original receipts, certificates, service records, and boxes. These help verify authenticity and condition, which can lead to stronger offers.
• Maintain Condition
  Clean your jewellery or watch gently and take care of minor repairs before bringing it in. Scratches, worn straps, or missing parts can reduce value.
• Time Your Trade-In
  Consider trading during periods of higher demand, such as before holidays or major events. Luxury watches often have seasonal market fluctuations.
• Get an Appraisal
  An independent appraisal gives you a clearer understanding of your item’s market value. It can also be useful for insurance or resale comparisons.
