Grail watch - Valuation in London

[djman]

Thank you - It is coming from the PP boutique - perhaps they may even do a valuation for replacement value, although I wouldn't have thought that would be likely.

I once asked the salon guys exactly this after a purchase from their New Bond Street store and, unsurprisingly, they don't and won't offer an inflated replacement valuation.

RRP on this watch is just under 42.3k; Chrono is suggesting they're worth 64k (typically 20%+ over reality) and auction is seeing them sold in unworn condition - ie yours - at just under 50k.

The difference in retail cost versus replacement cost at auction is therefore relatively marginal so I wouldn't bother. It's not like the madness of Spring 2022 when Pateks and Rolex were trading at crazy money. Those days are long gone, IMO.

Nice watch BTW. I have the chrono version.

Thanks all for the input... and yes I tend to agree that the overall value is maybe circa 10k over list - should I ever need to replace it. I just wanted to be safe... am not expecting for 1 second that the boutique could give any valuation other than rrp.

Thanks for the good wishes... after a loooooooong wait, I am very excited !

I find Bootles AD at the Royal Exchange (Bank station) very approachable - try them for some advice.

First step, ask your insurance company whose valuation they will accept. No point otherwise.

As I understand it, if your watch gets stolen, the salon will 'try their best' to get you further up the list for a replacement

Such a comfort to know they've got your back
