After looking around to find the right person to sell my watch with I met with Dawsons and was immediately impressed. My choice was rewarded when they got much more than I was expecting. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Superb company to deal with. Their expertise in watches helped me get a good price for an item that other auction houses said had no real value. First class communication made the whole process so easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Steve
I recently had a turn out of my late parents' bits and pieces; amongst them was a watch, I Googled it and it turned out to be very valuable! I contacted Dawsons with its photos and they gave me an approximate price it could go for. It was collected , a receipt was given and the watch was sold for thousands of ££s! What's more, I saw the auction live on Dawsons website. I recommend Dawsons wholeheartedly and I will certainly be using them again if I find any more hidden treasures!
