## Frequently asked questions

### What luxury watch brands do you buy?
Watch Vault buys a wide variety of luxury watches, including pre-owned Rolex in Houston. Most-requested brands we buy: Rolex, Cartier, Breitling, Omega, TAG Heuer, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, IWC, Tudor, Panerai, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Hublot, Chopard. If you are unsure whether your watch qualifies, reach out — we typically respond within 24 hours.

### How do I get paid when I sell to Watch Vault?
Bank wire or check, whichever you prefer. Houston locals can come into the showroom and get paid the same day. We confirm payment timing as soon as the sale is finalized.

### Does Watch Vault insure my watch during shipping?
Yes. Every order is shipped via FedEx with third-party insurance. We coordinate insurance details with you before any watch ships in either direction (us to you, or you to us for evaluation).

### Why should I sell my luxury watch to Watch Vault instead of online auction or pawn?
Three reasons: (1) we pay fair market value, not pawn-shop discount; (2) we close fast — most offers within 24 hours and payment within days; (3) we are a real Houston business with a physical showroom — you can bring your watch in and meet us. Online auction means weeks of waiting and seller fees; pawn means 30–50% of value.

Every watch is authenticated by certified watchmakers before listing. We inspect movement, case, dial, bracelet, and papers. If a watch lacks original papers, we disclose that on the product page.
