Rimistyle Buy-Back Policy

At Rimistyle, we believe a luxury watch should be both a personal statement and a strong long-term asset. To give our customers complete confidence in their purchase, we offer one of the most competitive buy-back programs in the luxury watch industry.

Our Buy-Back Policy ensures your timepiece retains value and gives you flexibility should your preferences or collection evolve over time.


1. Eligibility for Buy-Back

A watch qualifies for Rimistyle’s Buy-Back Program if:

  1. The watch was originally purchased from Rimistyle.
    Proof of purchase is required.

  2. The watch has depreciated more than 20% below the original Rimistyle purchase price based on current verified market data.

  3. The watch remains in authentic, original condition, with:

    • Matching serial numbers

    • No aftermarket parts

    • No tampering with movement or components

    • Functional timekeeping performance

  4. The original box and papers are strongly preferred; however, watches without them may still qualify at a recalculated rate.


2. Our Buy-Back Guarantee

If all conditions are met, Rimistyle will buy back your watch at 5% ABOVE the verified current market rate.

This means:

  • If the watch you purchased has depreciated,

  • And the market value is currently lower than your purchase price,

  • Rimistyle will still pay 5% more than today’s fair market value, ensuring you get the best possible return in the industry.

This applies to all brands sold by Rimistyle, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Cartier, Omega, and more.


3. How Market Value Is Determined

To ensure total transparency, Rimistyle uses real-time market data from:

  • Major secondary market platforms

  • Global auction sales

  • Verified dealer listings

  • Private trading index averages

We calculate the mid-market value and apply the 5% bonus directly on top of that amount.

This system guarantees fairness and eliminates pricing bias.


4. Conditions for Buy-Back Approval

For a watch to be approved for buy-back, it must:

A. Pass a Full Authentication Check

Our certified specialists will verify:

  • Serial number integrity

  • Movement authenticity

  • Case, dial, and bracelet originality

  • Water-resistance integrity (where applicable)

B. Pass a Functional Evaluation

The watch must:

  • Keep time within reasonable tolerance

  • Have no severe mechanical damage

  • Have no severe water-intrusion or corrosion

C. Be Free of Non-Authorized Modifications

The following may disqualify a piece:

  • Aftermarket diamonds

  • Aftermarket bezel or bracelet

  • Refinished dials not stated at purchase

  • Movement swapping


5. Condition Levels & Adjustments

Your watch will be graded according to industry standards:

  • Mint / Like New

  • Excellent

  • Very Good

  • Good

  • Fair

Minor wear, micro scratches, and routine aging do not disqualify buy-back eligibility.
Severe damage, cracked crystals, or deep case gouges may affect final valuation.
