Grey Market Dealers in LA?

[Glaze88]

Hi Guys,

I am coming to LA early next month and wanted to bring a few pieces over to sell and wanted to know who the best dealers are around LA. Santa Monica area or Manhattan Beach area is where I will be located for a few days.

All 3 watches will be Full Set and in Mint condition etc

TIA

Thanks mate. I have been speaking with Joanne for over 2yrs on my trips to Santa Monica. Visit 3-4 times a year, still yet to purchase from them but hopefully this year is the year :)

BTW, OC Watchguy is a TRF trusted seller. Patrick is a good option for getting excellent preowned pieces. I have sourced some nice non Rolex things from him. Mostly Panerai, as I still have a few in my collection. I don’t buy current model Rolex from grey guys anymore since prices are north of retail.

Best of luck at Gearys, hopefully this IS the year. Keep trying with her.

I would not go in cold to any watch dealers as an unknow with watches to sell. I would get on the phone, introduce myself and have a discussion about the watches I have and what they would value them at. This also saves you from going from shop to shop and back again to make a sale. I would also not just focus on the watch dealers in and around L. A. I would check with several of the TRF Trusted Sellers and see who gives you the best price. The buyers typically provide a pre-paid insured shipping label and will pay you the day they receive the watch and everything checks out with it. Using the shipping will also save you from having to travel with the watches. Good luck and let us know what you decided.

If you are trying to sell a watch you are much better doing consignment, you will retain a higher percentage of the value of the watch. For consignment I highly recommend Eddie at Modern Swiss, he has sold many of my watches. Otherwise reachout to Joseph at Stein Diamonds in DTLA.

Of watchguy always has good stock
I’m guessing you’ll get a better price in LA compared to Australia with the exchange rate?
