Noura’s Jewellery buys luxury watches in Ottawa: Rolex, Omega, Cartier, TAG Heuer, Breitling and every other fine brand. Bring your watch to our shop in Alta Vista Plaza and we will look at it with you in person, explain what affects its value and make you a clear offer. The assessment is free, there is no pressure to sell, and if you accept, you are paid on the spot.
We buy all luxury watch brands
Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, TAG Heuer, Breitling, Tudor, Longines and more: working or not, with or without box and papers, steel or gold. If it is a fine watch, we want to see it.
What decides the value of a watch
- Make, model and reference number. The reference, usually found on the papers or the case, identifies exactly which version you have.
- Condition. Scratches, dents, a cracked crystal or a worn bracelet all affect the price.
- Originality. Original dial, hands, bezel and bracelet matter. Aftermarket parts can lower value significantly.
- Box and papers. The original box, warranty card and receipt make a watch easier to verify and usually more valuable.
- Service history. Records of servicing show the watch has been cared for.
- Precious metal. A gold or platinum case and bracelet carry metal value in their own right.
What to bring with your watch
Missing papers or links do not mean you cannot sell. Bring what you have and we will look at the watch as it is.
Retail price, market price and an offer
The price of a new watch in a boutique, the asking prices you see online and an offer from a buyer are three different numbers. Online listings are asking prices, not sales, and a buyer has to account for verification, servicing and resale. We explain how we arrive at our offer so you can compare it fairly.
Tips before you sell a watch
- Do not polish the case. Polishing removes metal and can soften sharp edges collectors value.
- Do not open the case back or try to service the watch yourself.
- Gather everything: box, papers, spare links, receipts and service records.
- Note the reference number if you can find it on the papers.
- Consider gold watches carefully. A gold watch that no longer works still has value in its case and bracelet.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need the original box and papers?
They help, but they are not required. Bring the watch and whatever documents you have.
My watch does not run. Is it still worth something?
Often, yes. A non-running watch may still have value as a watch, and a gold or platinum case and bracelet always have metal value.
Can you value my watch over the phone?
Not reliably. Condition and originality can only be checked in person. Call 613-680-8883 to plan a visit.
Would repairing it be better than selling?
Sometimes. See watch repair for batteries, straps and other common issues.
