A discreet alternative to the Beverly Hills appointment loop. We arrange insured pickup at any FedEx or UPS in Southern California, authenticate in Maui, and wire the same day you accept. 20 years buying watches, no cost to see the number first.
The same eight brands we buy at the Maui office. Each links to a dedicated brand page with model-level guidance. LA sellers get the same offer we would make to a maui walk-in, minus the walk-in.
Four steps from your home in Southern California to money in your bank account. Nothing complicated, and no cross-town driving to Beverly Hills. The transcontinental leg adds a day to the timeline vs a Hawaii origin.
Send the intake with your reference, condition, and a few photos. We come back with an indicative number the same business day. There are hundreds of FedEx and UPS drop points across Southern California, so you can drop off wherever is closest.
Drop the watch at any FedEx or UPS in Southern California. Home pickup with the courier is available too, useful if you would rather not drive during rush hour. We handle the label, packaging guidance, and insurance for the full declared value. No cost to you.
The watch arrives at the office the next business day. We authenticate movement, case, dial, serial, and confirm a firm offer. Nothing changes from the indicative number without a written explanation.
From the moment you send the intake, we send the shipping label within one business day. Most sellers drop off the same afternoon. Transcontinental shipping takes 2 to 3 business days depending on origin (Westside is fastest, Orange County or the Valley slightly slower).
The watch travels to Maui overnight, arrives at the office next business day, and clears authentication same or next day. Firm offer confirmed to you as soon as it clears.
Accept and get paid the same day by bank wire or USDT.
Los Angeles is a 60-mile metro, so we split coverage by region. Everyone gets the same service, just with different courier drop points nearby.
Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades. The primary target for higher-value pieces. Multiple FedEx and UPS locations in each neighborhood, usually within a five-minute drive.
DTLA, Koreatown, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park. Dense courier coverage across the whole area. If you work Downtown and live elsewhere, drop off at a Downtown location during your lunch break.
Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City, Woodland Hills, and the wider San Fernando Valley. Slightly longer transit to Maui because west coast couriers hub through LAX. Home pickup available if the drive to a courier is inconvenient.
Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach. Same service, ship from your nearest courier or arrange a home pickup.
Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Costa Mesa, Anaheim. OC is served on the same terms as the LA metro proper. Given the drive from OC to any LA-based dealer, ship-in is often the more practical option even for sellers who would otherwise consider a Beverly Hills appointment.
A firm offer in a couple of minutes. No obligation.
A Los Angeles seller has real, high-quality local options. This page is not for every LA seller. It is for the ones who value ship-in convenience over a cross-town appointment. Here is the honest three-way.
Beverly Hills dealers can pay well, especially on hot references. But selling to them usually means an appointment, cross-town driving, and pressure to close in the room. We do it by ship-in from your local courier, one buyer once, no room to walk out of. If you would rather drop off at the FedEx in your neighborhood than fight traffic to Rodeo Drive, this is for you.
They hold your watch for a week and price on assumptions. We authenticate under camera in Maui, in days. And we are a real dealer, not a marketplace.
We are the same buyer as the Maui Nehoa Time. That means a real dealer number, not a wholesale margin, and one buyer once. No back-and-forth.
Your watch comes back to LA, insured, at no cost. We do not hold it hostage for a haggle.
Trade your watch toward another from our collection and pay only the difference. Works from LA, same ship-in style as an outright sale.
For a higher final number, consign your watch and let us sell it to the right buyer. Same insured ship-in from LA. You are paid when it sells, same day.
Prefer to sell face to face? Visit our office in a business building in downtown Maui. We meet by appointment only, so every visit is private and secure. Not on the island? Ship your watch to us fully insured and we will handle the rest.

Beverly Hills dealers can pay well, especially on hot references. But selling to them usually means an appointment, cross-town driving, and pressure to close in the room. Our service model is the opposite: one buyer, one number, one transaction, done from your local courier. For sellers who value that trade-off, this works. For sellers hunting the last dollar and willing to shop it around, a Beverly Hills dealer may be the better route.
After we agree an indicative number, we send a prepaid, insured shipping label and packaging guidance. Drop at any FedEx or UPS in the LA metro or Orange County, or arrange a home pickup with the courier. Home pickup is especially useful for South Bay or OC sellers who would rather not drive during rush hour.
Standard carrier insurance covers up to $50,000. For higher-value pieces we add supplemental insurance so the whole value is covered end to end. Higher-value LA pieces are common, so discuss the number and coverage together before the label is sent.
Yes. You always own the watch until you accept the firm offer. If the number does not work, we ship it back to LA, insured, at no cost to you.
Rarely. For higher-value pieces where a seller strongly prefers in-person, we can sometimes arrange it. Ask, and we will tell you what is possible.
Usually four to five business days from the moment you send the intake to money in your bank account. Two to three of those days is the transcontinental shipping leg.
It takes only a few minutes to submit your consignment, with no obligation to proceed.
