Sell a watch, diamond or gold near Merrick, Long Island
Merrick Avenue to Sunrise Highway, then east: about eight minutes to our Massapequa counter. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed.
Farther along the South Shore
Merrick is in the Town of Hempstead, a few towns west of Massapequa along the Babylon Branch. It is a little farther than Wantagh or Seaford, but Sunrise Highway keeps the trip to one main road.
For higher-value items, a luxury watch or a diamond ring, it is worth having them looked at by someone who handles those every week, with the evaluation done openly at the counter.

Watches and diamonds from Merrick
Please do not polish or service a watch first; polishing can lower what collectors will pay. Box and papers help but are not required. See selling a Rolex, other luxury watches and diamonds.

- Box, papers or spare links, if you have them
- Any GIA or AGS report
How watches and diamonds are evaluated
For watches, the counter looks at brand, model and reference, condition, originality of dial, hands and bracelet, and whether box and papers survive. A gold or platinum case or bracelet adds metal value of its own.
For diamonds, cut, color, clarity and carat weight are graded at the counter, and you are welcome to look through the loupe. Gold settings are tested and weighed separately.
Before you leave Merrick
Do not polish the watch case or try to remove scratches. If you have spare bracelet links, the box, papers or a service receipt, bring them. For a diamond ring, any GIA or AGS report helps, but nothing is required.
Selling higher-value pieces with confidence
With a watch or diamond, small details move the value: an original dial, a matching bracelet, a well-cut stone. Seeing those details discussed openly, rather than behind a curtain, is the best way to know the offer reflects the piece in front of you.
