How it works

A pawn loan on pocket watches, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Bring your pocket watches and a valid ID

    Walk in during business hours with the item and a government-issued photo ID. No appointment, no application, no credit check.

  2. 02

    We appraise and write the loan right at the counter

    We test and research your pocket watches in front of you, agree on an amount, and hand you cash with a written pawn ticket.

  3. 03

    Repay and pick it up — or walk away clean

    Repay the loan plus the state-regulated charge and your item comes right back. If you can't, nothing is reported and your credit is untouched.

What we check on your pocket watches

  • Movement maker, grade and jewel count (17, 21, 23 jewels and up)
  • Railroad approval and adjusted-to-positions markings
  • Case material — solid 14K/18K versus gold-filled versus coin silver
  • Running condition, dial originality and hairline cracks

What your pocket watches can borrow

A 21-jewel Hamilton 992B in a gold-filled case is a collector piece well above metal value. A solid 14K hunter case alone can hold 25–50 grams of gold.

Michigan pawn law, in plain English

Pawnbrokers in Michigan are state licensed and regulated. Here's exactly what that means for you.

  • Interest and storage fees are set and capped by Michigan pawnbroker law — the numbers are on your ticket before you sign.
  • You receive a written pawn ticket listing the item, the amount loaned, the charges and the due date.
  • Your item is tagged, photographed and held in our secured, alarmed vault — never sold while the loan is active.
  • You can renew the loan any time by paying the charges due; there is no penalty for paying early.
  • No credit check, no credit reporting, no collections. If the loan isn't repaid, the obligation simply ends.

Prefer to sell?

Luxury watches are among the most-pawned items we see — you keep ownership, we hold it in the vault, and you get it back when you repay.

FAQ

Pawning pocket watches — your questions.

Are old pocket watches worth anything?+

Many are — especially railroad-grade American movements. Bring it in before assuming it's scrap; we identify the movement first.

My pocket watch case is gold-filled, not solid. Is it worthless?+

No. Gold-filled cases have little melt value, but the watch as a whole can still be a strong collector item depending on the movement.

Do you buy pocket watch chains and fobs?+

Yes — solid gold Albert chains are heavy and valuable, and we buy fobs, keys and cases too.
