When getting appraisals on your watches for insurance what is your experience when some of the watches are in demand and as a result selling for thousands over retail. Will the jewler take that into consideration and appraise them over retail ? How would an insurance company look at the appraised value being over retail ?
Thanks!

When I was getting my 16600 appraised, the appraiser asked if I wanted it valued at what the new SD43 retails for since the 16600 was no longer available. I simply asked for a $7k valuation to cover myself and not pay an elevated premium yearly. I am not sure if this is a common practice since this is the only piece I have had appraised. Good luck!!

With additional premium.

it needs to be valued for "used replacement value" that number is usually lower but sometimes its higher. New replacement value is retail.

If you are adding the watches to your current home policy I doubt the underwriter would have any idea if the value is higher than a new watch. They will just use the value shown. Depending on the values you may not even need an apprasial. I've added my watches ($8k and less) and they never asked for an apprasial.

if you have a loss the wording matters. They will try to pay out new replacement value (retail) if its worded that way regardless of how much you valued it for.
