Reasons for Choosing Us
"Accurate appraisals" unique to
a vintage specialty store
We accurately assess the movements (calibers), historical context, and rarity of antique and vintage watches, which are often difficult to evaluate at general purchase shops.
Our expert staff, with extensive knowledge of the value of vintage items, will carefully appraise each piece one by one.
Even if broken or non-functional,
we assess "useful parts and internal value" without fail
Even for items that "do not run" or have a "stuck crown," there are many genuine parts and valuable mechanisms inside that can still be utilized.
Because we are a specialty store with a detailed understanding of watch structures and the value of their components, we never overlook the value hidden within non-functional items and ensure it is reflected in our appraisal.
A commitment to restoration that spares
neither "time nor effort" in sourcing and recreating parts
Restoring vintage timepieces requires a great deal of time and effort, from sourcing rare parts to making precise adjustments.
At our shop, we spare no effort or time,
maintaining a system dedicated to carefully reviving their true value.
That is precisely why we can accurately assess the inherent worth of items
even in conditions that other shops might decline.

FAQ
Do you provide appraisals for watches that aren't working or have cracked crystals?
Yes, we would be happy to provide an appraisal.
As we are a specialty shop for vintage watches, we can accurately evaluate and appropriately appraise items even if they are not running, show signs of aging or damage, or are missing parts, by taking their internal components and rarity into account. Please do not give up and feel free to consult with us.
Can I still sell the item if I don't have the accessories, such as the box, guarantee card, or extra links?
Yes, we can purchase the watch alone.
While including accessories may increase the appraisal value in some cases, we perform accurate assessments unique to our specialty store even for the watch itself.
Can you appraise watches that other stores have refused due to their age or lack of parts?
We are happy to appraise vintage mechanical watches, as well as those from major domestic and international brands.
Our shop specializes in vintage wristwatches, primarily from the 1950s to the 1970s. Even if parts are missing or the watch is not in working condition, we will provide a fair valuation based on our specialized expertise.
*Please note that for items from very early production periods (such as pocket watches from before the 1930s), certain specialized models, or items for which we cannot offer a satisfactory valuation due to current market conditions, we may decline the appraisal at the preliminary stage. Please feel free to contact us via our web form for an initial consultation.
Are there any fees for the appraisal?
There are no assessment fees or purchasing charges whatsoever (it is free of charge). Pre-assessments via our web form and in-store assessments are provided free of charge.
*Please note that shipping costs for sending items to our store via mail-in service are to be covered by the customer. We ask for your understanding in advance.
How soon will I be contacted with the preliminary assessment amount?
If you apply via the web form, a representative will typically contact you within one business day.
Do I need a prior online appraisal or reservation when bringing items to the store?
No, you are more than welcome to visit us directly without a prior appraisal or appointment. We will examine and appraise your items on the spot. (*Trying our web appraisal service in advance allows for a smoother process.)
Do you appraise watches of any brand or era?
We provide appraisal and purchasing services for a wide range of timepieces, from major brands such as Grand Seiko, Omega, IWC, Rolex, and Tudor, to vintage Japanese and international manual and automatic watches. Please feel free to contact us even if you are unsure of the age of your item.
