Sell Your Hublot in Birmingham
Hublot is the reason this page exists. More people search for Hublot against Birmingham than any other watch-and-city combination that reaches this site, and a good share of them are searching the word “pawn” — which means they are about to be quoted against the gold content by somebody who will not look at the reference. Bring it here first.
We buy Hublot outright and take Hublot in part-exchange from our counter in Hatton Garden. Send the reference number from the caseback, the year and a few photographs and you will have a no-obligation figure back the same day; payment goes out by bank transfer once our specialist has authenticated the watch.
What moves the number on a Hublot
The same desk prices both counters, so this is what is being looked at whether you come to Birmingham or to Hatton Garden.
The case material sets the floor
Hublot builds the same case in titanium, steel, ceramic, King Gold and Magic Gold, and the material is the single largest factor in the number. King Gold and Magic Gold carry real intrinsic metal value beneath the watch; ceramic and titanium do not. The reference on the caseback states which it is.
Movement: Unico versus base
An in-house Unico chronograph is a different watch commercially to a Big Bang running a modified base calibre, even where the two look similar across a counter. The caseback is usually open on the Unico, which is the quickest way to tell.
Limited editions and collaborations
The Ferrari, Berluti, football and artist collaborations trade on edition size, not on Hublot’s general market, and some are worth a substantial multiple of the standard reference they are based on. The edition number is engraved on the caseback — send it.
Straps, and how many of them
Hublot’s One-Click strap system means most watches were sold with more than one strap, and the spares are expensive to replace. A watch that still has its extra straps, the deployant and the tool is worth meaningfully more than the same watch on a single worn rubber.
Bezel screws and ceramic condition
The exposed H-screws on the bezel are part of the design and are the first thing to look worn or mismatched. Ceramic does not scratch but it does chip, and a chipped ceramic bezel is a real deduction because the part is not cheap.
Hublot references we buy
Not a complete list — we buy the whole catalogue. These are the ones the desk is asked about most.
- Big Bang
- The volume family and the widest spread on this list. 44mm, 41mm, Unico, Meca-10 and Tourbillon are separate markets, and the case material moves each of them again.
- Classic Fusion
- The dress line. Titanium and ceramic trade steadily; King Gold sits well above them. Size and whether it is a chronograph both matter.
- Spirit of Big Bang
- The barrel case. A narrower market than the Big Bang proper, priced reference by reference.
- MP Collection
- The Masterpiece pieces — MP-05, MP-09, MP-11 and the rest. Low production, valued individually. Send photographs and the box.
- Big Bang Unico Ferrari and other collaborations
- Priced on edition size and completeness rather than on the base reference. The caseback engraving is what identifies it.
- King Power, Aerofusion, Spirit
- All bought. All valued on material and movement — send the reference.
Box, papers and provenance
Hublot warranty cards carry the reference and serial, and Hublot operates a well-run authentication and service network, so a service record from an official centre genuinely helps. The travel case, the spare straps, the One-Click tool and the screwdriver are all part of a full set and all cost money to replace — keep them together. No card is not a problem; it moves the number, and we will tell you by how much before you commit to anything.
Birmingham or London
Both counters buy on identical terms — one desk, one set of figures, so there is nothing to be gained by trying the two against each other. Use whichever is the shorter journey, or send the watch by insured tracked courier and skip the journey altogether. If London is easier, sell your Hublot in Hatton Garden covers the same ground for the London counter.
FAQS
Hatton Garden, and preferably at a desk that prices the reference rather than the metal. A pawnbroker will typically quote against the gold content or against a blanket assumption about the brand, which is how Hublot sellers end up underpaid. Bring it in or ship it insured and you are paid by transfer the same week, with no seller’s commission taken off the top.
Yes. A watch-only Hublot is a straightforward sale. The set matters more on Hublot than on most makers because of the spare straps and the travel case, so expect a wider gap between a full set and a bare watch than you would see on a steel sports Rolex. We will show you both figures.
Part-exchange is usually the better deal on a Hublot specifically. The outright cash market for the brand is cautious, but against a purchase we can make the margin on the piece you are buying rather than the piece you are leaving, so the number we can put against your Hublot goes up. If you were considering a pawn or a quick cash sale, ask about part-exchange first.
It depends on the case material, the movement and the edition before anything else — a titanium Big Bang and a King Gold Big Bang of the same size are far apart. The reference number on the caseback answers all three. Send it with a few photographs and you will have a real figure the same day.
