I have been fortunate enough to have owned a Rolex for many years. A Submariner for 47 years and a Double Red Sea Dweller for 44 years. Parting with them was difficult but Kevin made the process much easier. He is fair and professional. He does what he promises. I will certainly continue to do business with him.

Thanks Kevin

Honest and very professional

After my diligence and speaking with Kevin, my experience was great. He is a man of his word who gave me a fair price for my Rolex. I highly recommend his service!

Professional and Trustworthy

Although the selling of a monetarily and sentimentally valuable watch can be very challenging and stressful, Kevin of Watchex made the whole process simple and stress-free, due to his professionalism, honesty, and helpfulness. Watchex stands out as a trustworthy and reliable resource for those looking to buy or sell watches. Use Watchex with confidence.

Sold my 28 year old gold Rolex Day-Date to Kevin for a fair price, without the hassle of trying to sell it on Kijiji or sell it on consignment locally.
He paid for overnight Fedex shipping to Calgary. The funds were deposited to my bank account the same day he received the watch. Communication was excellent. I would not hesitate to deal with him again.

They work fast and deliver on promises

Not only does Watchex have speedy time frames for acknowledging your requests, but they follow through on those promises so there's a favorable outcome. They make the process of selling your Rolex seamless and stress free. I wish a lot of the other monthly commitments I take on were nearly as easy as this. Thank you Watchex for simplifying my life in a small, yet significant way.

Sincerely,
Odessa

Sold my Rolex Pearlmaster

Kevin offered me the best price for my Rolex, and we had an agreement and the money was in my bank account all within 24 hours. I would recommend him to anyone!

Hi Sarah,

It was a pleasure! Thank you so much for putting your trust in us.

Fast and easy sales process

Sold my Rolex DateJust with Watchex. It was an easy and efficient process. After receiving a valuation price via email from Kevin Shiel and agreeing to the sale, he emailed me a prepaid FedEx shipping label which I printed out at home. The FedEx store also provided a free box for shipping as the included insurance required that the watch be shipped in a box and not a padded envelope. I included a VOID personal cheque with the package to facilitate an EMT. I received the payment in my account the next day after shipping the watch to Watchex. Couldn't be any easier or faster.

Watchex is the real deal !!

Watchex is the real deal !! And Kevin is great to deal with. A real "WIS" if there ever was one.

I sold Kevin a solid gold Submariner. They had the best price, and outstanding customer service. As I live in the same city where they are located, we simply met at his bank, and he transferred the funds to my account.

I spent about an hour sitting in the bank's customer lounge drinking their coffee and talking watches with him after we did our deal, and also found out a lot about the company and the partners that he has in the US. You can do business with Watchex in total confidence, regardless of where you are located

Great Experience

This is the first online review I have ever written - but I want to see Watchex survive and thrive. I have no connection with them except for having sold Kevin an IWC watch last week. I could not bring myself to send a $30k watch to someone I did not know. It wasn't too hard for me to get there so I hopped a short flight and met Kevin after considering his offer based on my pics. Everything went just fine. I'm happy with the price.

Kevin, do clean up your website. Too many links that go nowhere, it does not inspire confidence. You need to get people to trust you and a totally solid website will help. A website with dead links hurts (in my mind) quite a bit.

That said, I'm really happy with the transaction. When/if I need to part with another piece you'll be the first one I call.

Trustworthy and fair

I highly recommend this company. Kevin and his team were so efficient and guided me through each step. So easy, I sent a picture, they asked a few questions, and gave me a quote. Sent the watch, and they PAID promptly...the whole thing took 3 days.... Just great!

Trustworthy and fair

I just parted with a Rolex watch. The price I was offered was very fair and in line with a major international diamond and gold dealer. Dealing with watchex.ca proved to be a pleasant experience. Not only did I get a prompt response but I was guided along the way and kept very well informed. Payment was made quickly , in fact, deposited in my account within 25 hours of the reception of my watch. I have no reserve whatsoever with this company and their affable manager. I wish all my other online transactions were conducted with the same honesty and alacrity as shown by Kevin at Watchex.ca

Easiest and smoothest sale ever!

I was a little skeptical at first but my whole interaction with Kevin was very proffesional and uncomplicated, it all took a few days and after Kevin received my watch, the amount that was quoted was transferred to my account through e transfer.
I am very happy with the whole exchange.
Thanks again Kevin.
