Royal Oak references differ by case size, metal, dial and movement. Two similar-looking watches can be very different pieces.
Brushed and polished surfaces.
The contrast of brushed and polished finishes is easy to lose. Mention any previous polishing, and do not refinish the watch before selling.
Integrated bracelet.
On a Royal Oak the bracelet is part of the design. Note any stretch, damage or missing links.

Before you enquire.
Three things that make your first conversation useful.
Find your watch reference.
Start with the details that identify your watch.
Look on the warranty card, receipt or service papers for the reference. If you do not have them, send clear photographs of the dial, caseback and clasp. Do not open the case or remove the bracelet to look.
Selling without box or papers.
Missing an item? Explain what you do have.
Box
Warranty card
Receipt
Service records
Spare links
The watch still needs an assessment of authenticity, condition and ownership. Missing documents can affect the purchase offer and the checks required.
Take useful watch photographs.
Clear, honest photographs help the first estimate.
Dial
Case sides
Caseback
Bracelet or strap
Clasp
Use soft daylight and a plain background. Show visible wear rather than hiding it. Photos support the initial discussion; they do not replace inspection.
Ready? The form takes a moment, and every field is optional.

You can still enquire. Tell us what you do have, such as a receipt or service record. Missing documents can affect the offer and the checks needed before a sale.
That depends on the exact reference, condition, originality and accompanying set. Any first estimate is subject to a physical inspection, and you decide whether to accept the final offer.
Share the details and clear photographs, discuss the estimate, then have the watch inspected. Agree the final amount, payment and handover before you part with it.
