Our Options
Consignment
More time, broader exposure
We present suitable watches to buyers without purchasing them into our own inventory first. Target price, commission, term, storage, and payment conditions are agreed in writing.
- Expected return agreed in writing
- Professional photography & listing
- Exposure to our global buyer network
- Securely stored in our vault
Sell Directly
Sell directly to Bedesten
Your return will be lower than with consignment, as we're investing our own capital. That said, we can't buy every watch offered — it depends on our available capital and current inventory needs.
- Payment after verification
- No listing period
- One written offer
- Handled directly at the showroom
Frequently Asked Questions
If your watch fits our collection, we'll propose a market price and outline your expected return. Once we agree, we photograph, list, and actively promote it for 12 weeks. You'll hear about any offers right away. After a sale closes, you're paid within 14 days of the buyer receiving the watch.
If your watch suits our inventory and we have the capital, we'll make you an offer with a clear breakdown. Once agreed, we arrange secure shipping or meet in person. Payment goes out as soon as we verify the watch.
We compare the exact reference, condition, component history, included set, recent transactions, and current demand. The result is a current market estimate, not a fixed universal price.
For consignment, the watch must be suitable for sale. We assess operation and condition, then explain any required service and buyer guarantee terms. For a direct purchase, condition is reflected in the offer.
We regularly consider Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Richard Mille, and selected references from other established makers. Suitability depends on the exact watch and our current inventory.
Consignment usually allows more time and wider exposure. A direct sale gives you one offer from Bedesten. We will show both routes when the watch is suitable for each.
