Offers

How is the value of my watch determined?

The value of your watch is mainly determined by the current demand in the pre-owned marketplace. Using our extensive knowledge of the watch industry, we are able to establish a fair and competitive value for any timepiece. We always do our best to offer you the greatest value for your timepiece, so if you’ve been offered a higher price elsewhere, please let us know.

Why is there a range of your offer price?

The condition of your watch can have a significant effect on the value of your timepiece, which cannot be confirmed until we have inspected it in person.

Does your offer on my watch ever expire?

Yes. Unfortunately, due to changing market conditions, our offer ranges are valid for 30 days from when the offer is made. After that time, you must resubmit your timepiece to us.

Can I trade-in my watch for a brand new one?

Yes. You can trade in your watch in one of our stores and receive store credit for 20% more than your watch’s value. This can be used towards a brand new or certified pre-owned watch. Please find a store nearest to you.

Are there any exclusions on the "store credit for 20% more towards a trade-in" offer?

The offer to receive a store credit for 20% more towards a trade-in is considered a promotion, and therefore cannot be combined with other promotions, including Financing through the Tourneau Credit Card. Other exclusions may apply, please see a store associate for details.

Why wasn’t my watch accepted?

There are a few circumstances under which we will refuse a watch, such as: if the condition is very bad, if there was a miscommunication about the model, or if the watch contains after-market or non-authentic parts.

Process

What happens after I send in my watch to you?

Once your watch arrives at our facility in Las Vegas, one of our expert technicians will perform a detailed examination to determine the final value of your timepiece. We will make our final offer to you within 2 business days. If you accept, we will process your transaction immediately. If you decline, we will ship your watch back to you at our expense.

How can I check the status of my transaction?
