What’s in your report.
Enough detail to support a decision. Clear enough to use without turning the findings into another writing task.
Proposed catalogue description
Carefully structured wording covering the watch’s supported identity, configuration and accompanying items.
Proposed condition report
A separate account of visible condition and the material points that need physical confirmation.
Fair value & hammer range
An estimated fair value in the watch’s current condition and a separately stated proposed hammer price range. Assumptions, buyer’s charges and the limitations of the estimate are explained.
Identification & reference
Model, reference, configuration and approximate dating, with the evidence behind the identification. Important differences between the supplied description and the available evidence are explained.
Condition & originality
Component-level observations from the photographs, originality questions and the condition factors that affect value. Visible evidence is distinguished from anything the photographs cannot establish.
Market comparisons & sources
Relevant market comparisons with linked references and an explanation of their relevance. Asking prices, guide estimates and confirmed sale prices are identified for what they are.
Material checks & next steps
Only the checks that could change identification, catalogue wording or value — such as confirming a reference, matching a case serial or checking basic operation.
