Begin privately
Start with your watch
A short description is enough to begin. You can send photographs through the agreed follow-up channel after we review your enquiry.
The initial sale estimate is free. Our focus is collector watches worth around $25,000 and above, with a personal response within one business day.
Identify the Machine before comparing prices
Start with the complete model name from the papers or original invoice. Legacy Machines and Horological Machines need different comparisons. Within the Legacy range, a classic LM Split Escapement and an LM Split Escapement EVO are distinct executions. Record the case material, dial colour and edition information rather than relying on a shortened name.
If you are unsure, describe the watch and records you have. Photographs can help establish the questions that need checking. Do not open the case or remove components to find an identifier.
Four details for your MB&F enquiry
- Machine and execution: LM or HM, full model, classic or EVO where applicable, and any numbered or named edition.
- Exterior condition: case material, visible wear, dome or crystal marks, and known polishing, refinishing or replaced parts.
- Supplied accessories: original buckle, fitted strap, spare straps, box, warranty documents and accessories.
- Service record: dates, work performed, invoices and any operating issue you have noticed.
Photograph the display, crystal from an angle, case sides, case back and strap attachments. Describe marks instead of hiding them under reflected light. Physical checks may still be needed.
What would you receive from a sale?
Compare the amount payable to you under a written proposal. A direct purchase offer includes the buyer's commercial margin in its price. A seller-side placement has a separately stated fee and may involve a different sale price or timetable.
We explain the route available for your MB&F. Our sale-route comparison and net calculator help you review the costs.
Does a serial-number check establish condition?
MB&F invites enquiries for serial-number verification. That serves a different purpose from inspecting the watch or assessing service needs. MB&F's own certified pre-owned programme is separate; a PAA review is not manufacturer certification.
Should I have scratches polished first?
Send the current condition and describe previous work. Case shape, finish and replaced parts should remain clear in the record. Agree any proposed work and cost before treating the watch as serviced or refinished.
Are M.A.D. Editions MB&F Machines?
M.A.D. Editions is a separate range. Identify it by its own model name rather than selecting an LM or HM reference. Our usual value focus still applies; ask if you are unsure whether a review fits.
Send the model and set you have
Start with the model, condition, location, papers and timing. We explain the photo and inspection steps. Marketing requires your approval. The proposal states our role, fees and conditions; an estimate does not guarantee a purchase. Other independent watches.
Sources and scope
Manufacturer sources establish technical distinctions; they do not endorse Passion Asset Advisory or certify a watch offered to us. PAA is independent of these manufacturers.
