How much will you be paid?
Condition, age, model/style popularity, and current market trends are some of the factors in determining the value of your items.  NWJC is known throughout the marketplace for paying top dollar for your timepiece and precious jewelry. 

Is the quote guaranteed?
With many years of experience, guides, and a constant pulse on the market, NWJC is almost always able to provide accurate quotes based on the information requested in our online quote request forms.  However, we cannot completely guarantee a quote until we are able to physically inspect your watch or other valuables.  If it is determined that the item(s) we receive is not as described or worth less than the value we quoted, we reserve the right to promptly return your item(s) at no cost to you. We may also, at our discretion, give you the option of accepting a lesser payment for your items.

Doing business in person?
Please stop by our Orange County, Southern California location to bring by your items for evaluation.  Your items will be inspected, and you can receive payment on the spot. If you wish to drop off your item in person, please indicate so in the comments section of the sell or trade forms.

Counterfeit or Stolen Merchandise?
Information on all merchandise purchased will sent to the proper authorities, and held for 30 days before we add to our inventoryIf we receive counterfeit or stolen merchandise we will turn over the merchandise, and all correspondence related to the merchandise, to the appropriate authorities. If you are uncertain about the authenticity of your watch, we recommend that you bring it to a local watch repair professional for inspection prior to shipping it to us.
