- Is buying a pre-owned Chanel safe?
- Every Chanel we sell is authenticated in-house before it is listed: movement inspection, case and dial verification against factory specification, pressure testing where the case is rated for it, and a photographic condition report you receive with the watch. It ships with our written warranty and a 14-day return window.
- Will you buy my Chanel?
- Yes — outright, as a trade-in against something in our inventory, or on consignment. We buy Chanel outright, take it in trade against inventory, or sell it on consignment where the buyer pool is thin. You get the comparables behind the number, not just the number. Entry-level examples start around $6,500. Send the reference, condition notes and a few photographs and you will usually have a real number the same day.
- Can you service a Chanel I already own?
- Our watchmakers handle authentication, condition grading, pressure testing and cosmetic work in-house, and route manufacture-only movement work to the appropriate service centre. You do not have to have bought the watch from us.
- How long does sourcing a Chanel take?
- 2–5 weeks for the references we see regularly. Rarer dials, precious metal and discontinued configurations take longer — we tell you honestly at the quote stage rather than after you have paid a deposit.
