Why is it necessary for me to send my watch(es) to you?
Unfortunately, many replica watches have been and are still being produced. Replica watches are plaguing our industry, and one of the most common complaints true watch collectors have, is paying a tremendous amount of money for a watch they receive only to find out it is a replica. The time wasted and money spent to go through the hassle of trying to get their money back is heart wrenching. GlobalWatchBrokers.com, LLC provides a neutral third party evaluation and authentication of all timepieces and this allows us to guarantee every watch a buyer purchases from us is as our report says.
Can I get my watch sent back after you authenticate my watch?
No. The reason we cannot send it back and then continue to market your timepiece is because if we send it back to you and the watch gets damaged while in your profession it can jeopardize the transaction. We may also jeopardize our relationship with the buyer because no one appreciates their time wasted.

We charge an all-inclusive rate of twenty three percent (23%) that includes illustration, restoration, shipping, handling and marketing. In the unlikely event we are not able to sell your timepiece you(the seller, consignor) will not be charged for illustration, restoration, shipping, handling and marketing.
