Introduction to Selling Longines Watches

Longines are known for their Swiss heritage, refined design, and reliable craftsmanship. 

Founded in 1832, the brand has built a strong reputation that keeps their models in demand across global resale markets. 

Whether you are an individual seller or a business, understanding how to sell Longines watches effectively can help you secure the best resale value and ensure a smooth transaction.

 

Understand The Value of Longines Watches

Before selling, it's vital to understand what makes a Longines watch valuable.

Factors such as model, collection, condition, rarity, age, as well as box and papers, all influence valuation.

Popular collections like the HydroConquest, Conquest, Master Collection, and Heritage series tend to attract strong buyer interest. 

Similar to Holy Trinity members Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet, limited editions, discontinued models, and vintage pieces often command higher prices, especially if they are in excellent condition.

 

Evaluate Condition And Authenticity

Condition plays a major role in determining resale value. 

Carefully inspect the case, dial, bracelet, bezel and crystal for wear or damage. Make sure your timepiece is functioning properly and keeping accurate time. 

Authenticity is equally important. When you sell used Longines watches, buyers want the correct serial and reference numbers. If available, service records or authentication documents can not only increase buyer confidence but also achieve greater resale value.

 

Prepare Documentation And Accessories

Selling Longines watches with original box and papers, warranty card, manuals, not to mention purchase receipts, significantly improves its appeal. 

A “full set” not only increases potential resale value but reassures buyers about authenticity and care. If it has been serviced by an authorised watchmaker, including those records, can further support your asking price.

 

Choose The Right Sales Channel

Selecting the best platform is key to a successful sale. 

Online marketplaces and watch related forums allow access to a broad audience but require time and communication. 

Auction houses are suitable for rare or vintage Longines timepieces, where competitive bidding may increase value, but there are significant commission fees incurred. 

Choosing a reputable, professional platform like Chrono Hunter offers a faster and more secure option, ideal for sellers who prioritise convenience and instant cash.

 

Price Competitively

Accurate pricing is essential when looking to sell second hand Longines watches.

Present The Watch Professionally

If you’re thinking now is the moment to sell my Longines, you might want to consider high quality images and clear descriptions, which make a significant difference. 

Use natural lighting, show multiple angles, and highlight any distinguishing features. Provide honest details about wear, servicing, and specifications. 

Transparency builds trust with buyers and leads to fair valuations and smoother transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Longines Watch Have Resale Value?

Yes, Longines watches do have resale value. Most models resell for less than retail, but still hold meaningful value. Popular automatic models retain value better than quartz ones.

Vintage or rare Longines pieces can be quite valuable. They are considered one of the best value for money, entry-level Swiss brands, especially for less than £5,000.

Is Longines Value For Money?

Yes — Longines offers good value for money. They provide reliable Swiss automatic movements at a more affordable price than many luxury brands.

Designs combine classic style with solid build quality. For quality and heritage without a premium price tag, they’re a strong choice with popular models featuring the HydroConquest line.

Are Second Hand Longines Watches Worth Anything?

To a degree, resale value is down to rarity, condition and if you have the box and papers, essential for boosting authenticity and resale value.

Most modern Longines timepieces, i.e. HydroConquest, Conquest or Master Collection models, will hold decent value retention but aren’t as strong when compared to major brands like Rolex.

Can I Trade In My Longines Watch?

Yes, you can trade in your used Longines watch at many reputable platforms. Note, trade-in value depends on model, condition, age, and completeness (box and papers).

Selling outright often gets a higher price than trade-in credit. Approved buyers who specialise in pre owned watches usually offer the best trade-in deals.

Can I Sell My Longines Without Box And Papers?

Absolutely. You can sell used Longines watches without the box and papers. It will still have resale value, especially if the timepiece is in good condition.

Yet, a lack of box and papers usually lowers resale value a bit. Specialist pre-owned dealers and online marketplaces still buy them, but won’t hold as much value in contrast to a timepiece that’s ready to sell with box and papers.
