Selling from Melbourne
Melbourne IWC sellers can discuss the complication in person after online review.
Pilot chronographs, Portugieser calendars and integrated-bracelet Ingenieur references call for different checks. Send the exact reference and service history first, then use a confirmed Toorak appointment or DHL collection if a direct purchase advances.
Melbourne sellers can begin online and then choose the most suitable next step: a DHL collection or an appointment with the Lost Watches team at 428E Toorak Road, Toorak VIC 3142. For IWC, Pilot’s Watch and Portugieser can call for different evidence, so the exact reference and configuration should be clear before the next step is discussed.
Submitting photographs first avoids carrying a valuable IWC across Melbourne unnecessarily. We review the details, send your direct-purchase quote and confirm the handover after acceptance. With a IWC, the full record should describe the specific model, present condition and included items rather than relying on the collection name alone.

Models we buy
IWC models for Melbourne sellers.
These are popular IWC collections we buy from Melbourne owners. Send the details and photographs of another reference for a personal quote.
01
IWC Pilot’s Watch
Mark, Big Pilot, Spitfire, Top Gun and Pilot chronographs reviewed by exact reference, calibre, case material, dial and service history. For a Toorak appointment, have the complete bracelet or strap and matching documents ready to compare beside the watch.
02
IWC Portugieser
Chronograph, Automatic, perpetual calendar and selected complications assessed by movement, dial, case, function and provenance. If collection is more convenient than a visit, place accessory photographs in the same file before the Melbourne handover is arranged.
03
IWC Ingenieur
Vintage, integrated-bracelet and current Ingenieur references considered by generation, movement, case geometry, bracelet completeness and originality. Close condition views help the team decide whether an in-person review is the useful next step.
04
IWC Aquatimer & Portofino
Selected diving and dress references reviewed by size, movement, water-use or service history, strap or bracelet and complete set. Relevant service or warranty material can be discussed before a confirmed appointment is set.
A quote built around your watch
A quote for your exact watch.
Useful details about the exact IWC configuration help us prepare an accurate quote for a Melbourne seller.
01
Reference and complication
Case size, calibre, chronograph or calendar function and production generation identify the correct IWC comparison. At an arranged Toorak handover, these details can be compared with the physical watch rather than guessed from memory.
02
Dial, case and controls
Dial condition, hands, crown, pushers, bezel, case edges and signs of refinishing or impact are assessed together. Keep the present condition intact for the first review; there is no need to polish the watch for an appointment.
03
Function and servicing
Chronograph reset, calendar operation, running condition, water exposure and documented IWC or specialist service help define the inspection. Group included items with the watch in the initial photographs so the appointment file matches the handover.
04
Bracelet and accessories
Correct bracelet or deployant, spare links, straps, warranty card, box, tools and service paperwork should be photographed as one set. Bring surviving documents and spare components to a confirmed appointment where practical.
