How Much is Your Grand Seiko Worth?
Grand Seiko timepieces are believed to retain most of their value. However, there are numerous elements that influence how much your Grand Seiko watch will sell for. These factors include:
- Rarity – Certain timepieces from iconic collections are seen as coveted treasures. If the watch you own is from an iconic collection, the chances of you receiving thousands of dollars for it is quite high.
Condition – If your Grand Seiko watch has its original functionality and aesthetic features, you will most likely receive premium offers from potential buyers.- Movement – One of the most important factors that contribute to the value of your watch is the internal workings of the piece. As a seller, you will have a greater advantage if your watch is performing at its optimal level and the components inside the watch are functioning smoothly.
- Maintenance – To receive the best resale value, it’s important to have your watch serviced at an official Grand Seiko service centre by expert watchmakers. Potential buyers may enquire about the servicing history of your Grand Seiko watch and request for information to confirm when and where the watch was last serviced.
How To Get The Best Price For Your Grand Seiko Watches
If you plan on receiving a good price for your Grand Seiko watch, it’s imperative to take care of it by following these simple steps:
Take good care of it – A Grand Seiko watch requires good daily care. It can be cleaned by wiping away any moisture, sweat or direct by using a soft cloth. Your watch can also be soaked in water and then washed provided the model you have is water-resistant. If you plan on washing your watch, avoid pouring running water directly from the faucet onto the watch. Instead fill a bowl with water and place your watch inside. Avoid washing your watch when its crown is at the extended position. If your Grand Seiko watch is non-water resistant, avoid using water to clean your timepiece. Another tip to take care of your Grand Seiko watch is to turn the crown from time to time to prevent corrosion of the crown.
Service it frequently - To maintain optimal performance of your Grand Seiko watch, it is recommended that you have your watch serviced once every 3 to 4 years. During the service, a periodic inspection and adjustment is done along with a disassembly and cleaning. To ensure the parts of your watch are working well together, a functional check, adjustment of accuracy, oiling and replacement of worn out parts is prioritised during the service.
Keep Your Box & Papers - If you intend on receiving maximum value in your Grand Seiko watch appraisal, it’s best to ensure your watch is accompanied by its original packaging and documentation. The documents can include your warranty cards, manuals, companion booklets, etc. The presence of the original packaging and documentation provides an extra layer of authenticity which gives the buyer the confidence to pay more for the timepiece.
Should I Service my Grand Seiko Watch before Selling it?
If you are considering selling your Grand Seiko watch, you should not service it before the sale. The buyer should have the opportunity to service their new watch and decide if they would prefer to settle for a complete change or maintain the piece.
When we receive your watch at Exquisite Timepieces, a thorough evaluation is done on your Grand Seiko by our watch specialists before providing you with a price quote. If we identify any severe damage, we will suggest leaving the servicing to our expert team of watchmakers.
About Grand Seiko Watches
The Seiko journey started in 1881 when Kintaro Hattori, a 21-year-old entrepreneur, opened a shop to sell and repair watches and clocks in central Tokyo.
From building the first pocket watch in 1895 to creating the first wristwatch in Japan in 1913, Seiko has designed and manufactured several milestone models and many of the world's firsts.
Fast forward to the year 1960 and the first Grand Seiko model was created. Located high in the mountains in Nagano, central Japan, Seiko’s most experienced watchmakers were tasked with creating the best watch they were capable of producing. The Grand Seiko was designed to represent Seiko’s excellence in mechanical watching as well as deliver more durability and accuracy than other watches.
A common question that often pops up is what is the difference between a Seiko watch and a Grand Seiko watch? The simple answer is the Grand Seiko is a high-end Seiko watch. This means everything about the Grand Seiko watches is more carefully made and each watch is still assembled by hand. Grand Seiko watches are also made using a higher-quality stainless steel material. Another interesting fact about Grand Seiko is although both Seiko and Grand Seiko are part of the Seiko Watch Corporation, they are no longer the same brand. Grand Seiko was part of Seiko for years, but in 2017, Grand Seiko became a fully independent watch brand.
While Grand Seiko is now its own brand, it still maintains the high level of precision and exceptional craftsmanship passed down from Japanese watchmaking giant, Seiko.
