What this page will not hide

Worthy is the auction house, not the buyer of your watch.
Before the auction there is no obligation. After you agree a reserve and start the auction, you are committed if the high bid meets that reserve.
If the high bid is below your reserve, you can decline. Worthy says they return the watch fully insured, free of charge.
Campaign FAQ: typically 14–18 business days from arrival at HQ to payment issued. After a completed sale, other Worthy pages say they typically issue payment in 9–14 business days. A mailed check can take up to 10 more business days to arrive.
This page does not take your watch or your money. Start opens submit.worthy.com.

Every step was followed up with emails, and I felt very very comfortable with the process.
Rebecca · Seattle, WA
It was so easy, quick and painless. Wonderful experience. I would tell anybody to do it.
Paris · Glasgow, VA
I felt secure sending the jewelry by mail since they were insured and have only great things to say.
Amy · Taylors, SC
We got a lot of money for it and my ex-wife and I used it to put in a college fund for our kids.
