I offer a range of services but this list covers most of my typical assignments. Please get in contact with your challenge, I will be happy to help.

Rolex identification, cataloguing and valuations for Auction houses
I have worked with a number auction businesses including Christie’s Uk to help verify and catalogue Rolex sports models.

Rolex authentication, valuations and condition reports for Insurers
A decade ago it was easy to value a watch on the model number alone but today the originality of parts, patina and associated paperwork make a huge difference to values. In today’s market a subtle mismatch in the colour of the luminous on the hands when compared with the dial luminous can mean the difference of many thousands of pounds. For insurers this knowledge is key to ensure that their exposure is accurate.
