FAQs
How will you value my Rolex Air-King watch?
Our Mayfair experts assess Air-King models based on their aviation heritage, unique dial design with prominent minute markers, and the model’s recent redesign. We consider both vintage and modern versions in our valuation process. The Air King’s historical significance, particularly its connection to World War II pilots, adds to its sentiment and value. We also take into account the watch’s condition, age, and any rare or limited edition features.
What papers do I need to pawn my Rolex Air-King to you?
Service records, certificates of authenticity, and the original warranty cards are some of the papers we expect when offering Rolex Air-King watch loans in our London office. Additional paperwork, such as the original purchase receipt or box, can potentially increase the loan value. If you have any special edition documentation, these can be beneficial as well.
How much can I loan on my Rolex Air-King?
Loan amounts vary based on the specific Air-King model, with vintage versions often commanding higher values. As specialists in Central London Rolex Air-King watch loans, we typically offer between £2,500 to £10,000.
The exact amount depends on factors such as the watch’s condition, rarity, and current market demand. Particularly sought-after models, like the ref. 116900, which was introduced in 2016, may fetch higher loan values due to its modern design and improved features.
Can I pawn a Rolex Air-King without papers?
If you want to pawn your Rolex Air-King watch, we require that you furnish the paperwork. Our experts authenticate the watch based on its distinctive dial layout and aviation-inspired design elements, but paperwork is a big part of the overall value of the watch, as well as the viability of any financing that is taken out against the timepiece.
Why is the Rolex Air-King of value at your pawn shop?
Tributes to the British Royal Air Force pilots of World War II get no more special than the Rolex Air-King. Versatile and daring, it’s the perfect representative of the brave souls who sacrificed so much for their country during its hour of need. As such, the Air-King will always hold a special place in the heart of British horologists and retain its value in the marketplace.
The Air King is valued for its long-standing history and connection to aviation. As Rolex Air-King watch pawnbrokers in Mayfair, we appreciate its evolution from a simple, classic design to a more modern and distinctive timepiece.
While it may not have shot up in price like other Rolex watches, the model’s enduring popularity among collectors and aviation enthusiasts contributes to its stable value. Additionally, the Air-King’s association with Rolex’s reputation for precision and reliability makes it a sought-after collateral item.
How long can I pawn my Rolex Air-King for?
We offer flexible terms to borrow against Rolex Air-King timepieces, typically ranging from 2 to 7 months. We understand that circumstances can change, so we also offer the option to extend the loan period if needed. Our team is always available to discuss your specific requirements and tailor a loan term that best suits your situation.
